Scars

"I had a public persona that I showed everyone was the way a male should be. And I had a private persona that was the self-abuser, that just didn't cope psychologically." – Lindsay, 64. Meet the people who you would never guess would self-harm. One is a practicing mental health worker, who works with young people by day but has her own private struggles. One is a 15 year old girl who started cutting herself a few times a week after having problems in her group of friends at school. And another is a man in his 60s. He doesn’t self-harm anymore but still occasionally feels the urge. Some experts think there is a trend of people with no diagnosed psychological or mental health issues resorting to self-harming. Jenny Brockie asks why people do it and how they broke the cycle.
