Do you and how do you self harm?

Post Reply New Topic

I just wanted to find out how many people self harm on WP.

Also on which part of you're body do you self harm?

Thanks

I actually burn, cut and punch walls head but stuff pull out hairs, I pinch myself. That was a mistake on my part

One time, Webert told me to eat him, so I did. Biting is a lot more satisfying than razors.

No I do no Self Harm. Thought about, but that's all.

*deleted* (sorry I didn't look at the forum before I posted--as an adult, sorry and I'm outta here!!)

I puch myself in the jaw, or hit my head on hard objects.

i cut my self with glass

Don't know if it counts, but I bite and pick at the skin around my fingernails (I do it to my nails too, but tons of people bite their nails).

same, my fingers have about a cm between the end of my nail and the end of my finger and in between that is just the next layer of skin where ive been *cough* err eating it 0_0*cough* but this is mainly to alleviate stress/tension as opposed to any underlying problem with self-harm.

I am 33 but between the ages of 12-22 I self-harmed severely with knives, razors, my nails, once requiring 50+ stitches. As a young child I bit myself, scratched myself, and banged my head.

Today my main problem is scratching myself to the point of bleeding. Sometimes I don't even notice I am doing it until I see blood on my fingernails . I have been able to stop this for months at a stretch but it always comes back.

I'm so glad though that I no longer cut with razors, etc., that was pretty scary and I caused more harm than I intended to any number of times.

i had a period in which id take a bottelopener that has a blunt pointy end meant to be pushed under the lid, and hold that against my leg, and then hammer it in with a remote controll. my leg became a 3d landscape with stiff white hills and bleu puts.

i also sometimes stamped on my feet or other such things.

i just cant handle skinpenetration. that freaks me out. and i only did it to lure away my focus of raging thoughtflights (is that a word?).

Only by accident.

I cut with my pocket knife. Which, for the life of me, I cannot get sufficently sharpened, and therefore cannot draw blood. (I can actually get the knife beneath my skin, but it never bleeds. Maybe my blood flow just sucks. I have no idea.) I refuse to cut with the other knives in my house because those are knives we use for eating, and that just seems wrong to me. I did it once (and got blood, even though the cut was much shallowed than most), but even after murdering the knife with hot water and soap I couldn't make it clean (to me).
I cut my stomach because it's way too noticable on my arms (although I have a theory that I might get better cuts on my arms). I can't even get away with wearing long sleeves because I have Health and Wellness in school and we have to wear short sleeve shirts and shorts. (We also change in the same room, but no one is observant and I am the loner, so by facing my locker I can change without anyone noticing my cuts.)

And before someone brings out the lecture (it's bound to come sooner or later), yes, yes, I know it's bad. Yes, I know I shouldn't do it. Yes, I know I should get help. Yes, I'm working on stopping. It's been a week since I've cut.

For other people who cut (or otherwise self-harm), do you do designs or insist upon perfect lines? Or do you reopen old cuts which are healing?

And hypermind, if thoughtflights isn't a word, you should make it one. It sounds awesome.

I agree ^_^ you should starting writing an offical definition (sorry if i went offtopic >_<)

The other day I cut myself really deep across the wrist with a razor blade. It bled really badly for about an hour and I honestly thought I was going to end up in the hospital. I called up my best friend and I was crying my head off. I'm going to try and make a point of never doing that again.

it shouldnt be hard, since its an official dutch word at least (gedachtenvlucht)
