Our Message Board has closed; it’s gone for good! The Support Forum that we’ll launch next month is going to be quite different. But change, in this case, is good and necessary, and we’re sure our members will appreciate the direction we’ve chosen to take. FirstSigns has been running a Message Board for 8 years, […]
The Internet, and the way people use it, has changed so much since we launched FirstSigns (aka LifeSIGNS) back in 2002. We’ve grown our online services and developed several social network presences, and it’s time to look at how our Message Board is used. Our Message Board was incredibly popular some years back, and was […]
Just why our message board community is able to directly help people with self-injury concerns.
What is it with researchers? Why is it that every study that comes out contradicts the previous one? One month coffee is good for the heart, the next it’s bad. One year mono-unsaturates are good for you, but these days we have to avoid ‘trans-fats’ – whatever they are. More people are staying in the […]
As of today, we are pleased to welcome two new message board mods to our Team. Sartor resartus and FReedomFRIES have joined our Moderating Team. Both sartor resartus and FreedomFRIES are long-standing, valuable members of FirstSigns; they are well liked and respected by members and mods alike, and it’s super to have them join our […]

We discuss our lives, our emotions and the distress that leads to our self-injury and self-harm, as well as discussing ways in which we can move away from self-injury and seek happier, healthier lives. We also have some fun! The summer months […]
As you know, this month LifeSIGNS celebrates its 6th Birthday; how much do you know about our little organisation? I remember LifeSIGNS back in the early days when I was a member of the first Message Board. I can’t remember my username back then, but I do remember the name Wedge! Of course I never […]
Anger is a valid emotion, and something we can use to help us direct our energies – but it’s also the cause of a great deal of stress and it can sometimes seem to control us. The Mental Health Foundation have launched a little website to tackle anger management, and you may well enjoy going […]
We have the best Message Board! We really do, and here’s why. We’ve got a large, vibrant and friendly community of supportive people who understand self-injury – and we’ve got a great Moderator team to run the Board, keep it safe, and to help Members around the forums; We’ve just upgraded the software of our […]
