Self Harm

[Xerneas]

does it make you guys feel better? how do you do it? mine is cutting unfortunately

Cutting, scratching, burning. The burning does the most damage and I don't do it often- once it took 4-6 months for a burn to heal. The skin just kept falling off over and over.

I'd feel better knowing you stopped doing that. It just seems like a terrible thing to do to you!

cutting, picking skin (draws blood), starving. cutting helps when i'm really overwhelmed, picking skin is an anxious tic (relieving asf), starving is due to an eating disorder but it honestly helps overall.

Cutting, biting, also hitting my arms, but cutting myself gives me more peace of mind and takes away my stress.

I pick the skin on my chapped lips. That is an obsession I've had since I was a boy! My mother used to yell,"Stop picking your lips!" But I never did!

I cut, scratch and hit myself, but I am trying my best to minimise this. I haven't cut in over a week. Trichotillomania is an ongoing struggle. I have done this both compulsively and as a form of self-harm. I have cut my hair short to making pulling more difficult, but I still tend to target my eyelashes and eyebrows. It looks awful and it causes my eyelids and brow area to swell up, develop rashes and sometimes bleed.

I dig my fingernails into my skin, throw my head into walls, punch my ribs until bruising, or practice hanging myself. I used to starve myself but people noticed and started talking to me about it as if they knew anything about me. I started getting really embarrassed and have stopped since.

mines cutting but it's getting out of control to the point where every time I SH i end up with stitches the sad thing is I feel like cutting is the only thing I'm good at atm

 

[FuneralCry]

I have never been one for physical self harm but I do sometimes scratch the skin around my fingernails until it bleeds a little bit. It is a bit of a relief. Most of the time my thoughts act as an form of self harm, as my mind is overactive, and there is no escape from them.
