Your method of SH?

[aroll]

I just wanna hear the method you guys use to self harm. Are there any unique ways that you use? Exaple: I used to use scissors to literally cut my skin like meat. The cuts weren't big, but they were deep.

 

[xXSufferingXx]

never done it, never will. life harms me enough already

 

[AltercatingVoices]

Used to use razors, though I've been clean for a year or two now. Prefer alcohol even if it's worse in the long term so I can at least choose to wear something that's better for summers

 

[ZwartHartje]

Besides random cutting, mostly with box cutters, I also used to burn myself with hot metal objects, such as the tip of a knife held into a candle flame. But that was a long time ago, I have no longer self-harmed after my teenage.

I used to use an exacto knife, then a razorblade taped to a metal handle haha, then I started to get really fucking sick of cleaning up blood so I switched to cigarette burns. Makes me look like some cringey, angsty teenager and the scars are very ugly.

 

[bl33ding_heart]

I sometimes pour very small amounts of burning water on myself and it hurts like hell, although that is the intention.

 

[Bishop]

None

 

[aloneinkyoto]

kai razors and overdosing on medication

 

[dustoff]

forcing myself to live

 

[angelhopes]

i would hit myself in the head whenever im about to spiral either with my fist or in the wall. It helps me calm down specially when im spiraling down.

 

[adamantc]

Extracting blood (from veins) from myself. For my own consumption. I used to cut with medical blades, but I hated the stigma so I stopped.

 

[c4di]

i mostly just hit my head or my limbs until they bruise but i tried every other sh method too.

 

[UserFromNowhere]

Skin-picking to an extreme extent. I'm covered in unhealed scars and bruises because I keep picking at the skin to the point of causing them to not even try to heal back normally. I think it's probably an anxiety-relief response rather than wishing for pain but it does cause pain.

 

[chiikawalover616]

box cutters or kai razors. if neither of those are there then any eyebrow razor with the safety removed

 

[iguazo falls]

razors but lately ive juust been bashing my head in and i think ive given myself concussions. not so bad these days but i am stupider.

i've done that too before lol, that's how i started basically

 

[hurts2b-old]

Ye old method of cuts-by-razorblade. Not very unique or adventurous but it gets the job done.

 

[sireb_b]

Mainly I used to cut myself with razors, or other times I'd strangle myself until I felt lightheaded, eighter with my own hands or with the help of a rope. Sometimes tho SH can be much more subtle: like banging your head against a wall, wearing belts unbearably tight to the point it hurts or just generally being purposely careless in order to feel pain. Once, for example, I accidentally broke a glass, and while I was picking the pieces up I made sure to push my fingers extra hard on the sharp edges. Lucky tho I've been clean for quite a few years.

other than cutting, i used to inhale my asthma inhaler over and over again until it hurt to breathe

 

[vivia]

i used to cut with a boxcutter blade, but i don't anymore. just swapping one addiction for another, now i'm hooked on jerking off instead. well, i guess i don't really feel the urge to self-harm either. but honestly, just thinking about the future already hurts like hell​

i've just read abt how brain damaging hitting your head is. it seems pretty bad. and when you get fucking stupid you just wanna hurt yourself more. i've told myself i need to rip out my hair instead or hit my cheekbones and jaw
i nabbed a scalpel from my class lab and it was pretty fucking great but it's gotten dull. i bite myself when i'm in public. i like the bruises and it's a weasely method because it's close to a fidget. but nothing does it like cuts

Went from nail clippers -> wire cutters on thighs

Started doing this too, also burning myself with hot objects. It's easier to hide in plain sight or explain.

 

[hughmun9]

Never done it and I'm not judging, my first gf used to SH and it didn't make her lesser in my eyes, I just don't understand the urge to do it at all.

Maybe starving/not drinking water and bed-rotting 16hrs/day for weeks on end counts as some sort of SH, so in that sense I have done it. But I do that when I lose motivation to do anything and I simply stop moving, I don't actively think of harming myself.

 

[dianxia]

ikea knives on special occasions, razor blades on regular days

 

[never mind me]

I use razor blades for cutting. When I was younger I also used the heated metal parts of lighters or cigarette butts to burn the undersides of my feet. And once I poured boiling water over my right arm. Lately I slapped myself in the face a lot, because I really wanted to hurt myself, but I don't want to cut myself as going for a swim in the pool is one of the few things that distract me from my sinister thoughts. Unfortunately at some point something in my mouth started hurting, so I decided I need to stop slapping myself, because I don't want to damage my teeth.

 

[otomedissection]

I've used box cutters, exacto knives, eyebrow razors, and thumb tacks (either scraping it across my skin or stabbing myself with them). I still use mostly just the box cutters, but I feel like I do a lot of emotional self-harm too. Like seeking out things that I know will upset me or trigger me.

 

[linium]

knives, glass, and nail filers
I'd slice directly into my skin which left pretty deep scarring

 

[DignifiedGrave]

I use my noose to cause ischemic hypoxia. I like to test myself by applying more of my weight at a time and see how the hypoxia happens faster with more force. Its also my preferred method to ctb. Probably will this weekend on Sunday.
