I cut myself with a compass, though it's more likely I'd be doing that when I'm upset with myself rather than somebody else. I always felt bad after lying, so I cut myself to even the karma out (just my weird superstition). :lol:

But when I'm upset/angry/frustrated, I choke myself, bang my head, pull on my hair, punch my face, and kick myself. Once I got really upset at something and I started punching the floor and a small pebble pierced my skin (wasn't too deep, but it wasn't really shallow either), so I can accidently hurt myself while trying to take my feelings out on other things.

I absolutely cannot cut myself with a knife, though. It seems rather unsanitary since I only have kitchen knives. I almost did once, but that was when I suddenly had this strange craving for my own blood (I'm not a vampire, don't worry, it's just that tasting my blood was the only thing I looked forward to when getting my teeth yanked out at the dentist :P ) Anyway, the scars I get from cutting myself with my compass would probably be less noticable than the scars I would get from cutting myself with a knife.

Well when I'm angry I need to hit somehting so Instead of punching others as i used to I hit myself. usually around the forehead. My brother does the same thing but he's not Apsie. i guess it's just a thng I do. I get angry easily other than that I'm very nice

I do, when im very overloaded, confused, frustrated, stressed or depressed.

you can find me, slicing myself up, burning myself, smashing my head into the floors, and again, ripping my hair out, scratching myself up, smashing myself in the head, kicking through walls/doors, and destroying a house while at the same time destroying myself. i do alot of this stuff without control, otherwise with control, (when im depressed for something ive wrongly done/said)
i cut on thighs of my legs, and will burn my ankles with end of my cigarette.

am gladly on lexapro, and that stops my anxiety and all those feelings somehow, and im constantly excited and at the age of a 12 yr old in the mind,,,,lol

Hm. Well, I cut my wrists, forearms, and upper arms, and I burn my arms with a lighter. I also scratch myself or pinch my skin when I'm really upset, and I have some self-harming stims as well. At this point, I have hundreds of scars everywhere so I'm kind of running out of room.
