So, if you've got posts up your sleeve I'd go ahead and post, you certainly won't be overbearing! Oceansdeep - Welcome to the blog, glad you've found some posts useful. I'm afraid I don't really know anything about smoking, as my self-comfort/harm habit tends to be over-eating instead, but self-medicating in a variety of ways is a very common side-effect of mental health issues.

And wow @ Anji's last post. Would like to hear the more there is to write... Anyhows, I stumbled on this blog from the F word first, then the other day I put in a search for smoking as self-harm and this site was the first hit in google (and so far the only really relevant one...) which made me feel not quite so alone and strange. It's something i'd like to see more about/ write about. Maybe. *sigh* But thanks for making me feel that little bit more normal! Flip Hi, first time commenter here… And wow @ Anji’s last post.

I thought I'd step back and wait for a few more posts from other people first as I am wary of becoming overbearing here. :/ Sorry about that, I thought the place had looked quiet lately. ;)
