Discussion Does anyone else strangle themselves as a form of SH?

[I wish to be happy]

I originally started strangling myself to ween off of cutting but after doing it so often, (5-6 times a day) I feel like I've made myself stupid. I have a lot of trouble remembering things and I'm far less skilled than I was before doing this. I've never met anyone that goes as hard with it as I do, a girl asked me to show her how hard I would go on her and she started coughing like crazy. (For reference i usually go until I'm too weak or I can't see anymore).

Yes, I did this for over a year, sometimes multiple times a day, even in the psych ward. Good to hear I'm not the only one.

I used to punch myself too. Then it all got too much to handle and I started hanging myself. Now i don't do it anymore and started punching myself again.

I tried that one as well! I'd do it because I found my face really disgusting but it didn't quite scratch the itch for me.

I thought I was the only one and would laugh at myself because it does make you feel stupid. Then again I must be stupid considering all lol
