Do you self-harm?

[Skathon]

I have around 800-1000 scars (excluding the ones that form a... symbol) on my forearm: 15-30 new almost every month. I do not have money for professional scarification or a tattoo, unfortunately; besides, it is quite relaxing.

 

[Lunar]

Yeah, I've been burning and cutting myself for over ten years. I used to pull out bits of my hair and hit myself before that.

 

[sadsoul]

I used to very rarely cut myself/hit myself/make myself vomit but I'm not doing it anymore. I mostly stopped cutting because I was terrified of people finding out that there's something wrong with me and preventing me from ctb.

 

[Deafsn0w]

I never cut.

however i attempted suicide multiple times a year.

 

[TiredHorse]

I punch myself, to distract myself when my imagination overrevs --my thighs are pretty bruised up right now-- but I'm not sure if that's really what this thread is about. I don't understand cutting entirely, so I'm reluctant to push myself forward into the same realm of despair.

 

[Letting Go]

No. I don't feel like inflicting any pain on myself because the world harms me enough as it is.

 

[dysfunctional]

My main form of self harm was cutting but I also did some burning. I have since switched to comfort eating. Man after this thread I'm wondering if I should go back to self harming so I can lose some weight...

Oh man, i used to be super lean and mean with a six pack. Gained alot of weight through comfort eating.

 

[dysfunctional]

I used to cut and burn myself when I had a rough moment. Ironically, That's when things where actually pretty good. Since I sank into this deep deep depression, I haven't done any self harm. Except for through my self destructive actions. Weird.

 

[OthelloToOblivion]

There have been quite a few times I have been seriously depressed and felt like CTB but I never once had the urge to self harm. I naturally try to avoid any unnecessary pain or damaging my body.

that's what I end up doing - scratching although recently it's been breaking the skin just barely, but not hitting blood yet and I must admit the torn tissue and healing process after is satisfying, although a bit annoying.

Continue cutting and you'll end up with cuts like this. https://selfharm.pics/uploads/default/original/3X/e/1/e111d03955cd635bb1b701c11c80110e06ab979c.jpg

I used to cut as a teen, now I guess I've turned to sneakier ways as I'm pretty much incapable of feeding properly. I can go for days without eating or feeling hungry, and it's not because I want to lose weight.

 

[Final Escape]

I primarily did stuff like over tweeze and injure my eyebrow area creating scabs which I then picked off only for them to rescab, painful nail biting, picking at acne or skin imperfections to the point of injury. This got worse on adderall but it's still effected me off it.

 

[worldexploder]

I only did once back In Aug 2017 after a "friend" and my aunt went to those gun shops after discovering my plan to buy a firearm. After raging about it for hours, I went down the stairs, got drunk, and carved a huge X into my upper right arm. It's still visible to day.

You talk about deviststion! I was so fucking close! I live a quarter a mile away from the gun shop.

 

[Pallf]

I like to bite myself and punch myself in the head

 

[nzdarkshark]

I used to cut a lot. Now I don't see the point. Why cause myself more pain when death is around the corner?

 

[Cain]

I rarely cut. When I do, it's entirely on my upper left tricep, high enough to be concealed by any t-shirt. So far no one's aware that I've ever done it , and I've been at about a year and a half. I think I mainly do it as a means of viscerally taking out my frustration with visible results, and as a silent protest to life. By damaging my physical form, I feel as though I'm rejecting the fact that I exist as an embodied creature, if that makes any sense. It also says something along the lines of 'life is terrible to the extent to which I would voluntarily injure myself, because that could never come close to comparing how much this world's damaged me.' I plan for my eventual ctb to be incredibly violent for this exact reason.
