Well idk if it counts, but when I was really young I used to bite myself.. I still have a bite mark on my arm. anyway, but the first time I actually cut.. I was 13 or so. It was with a pair of scissors. I dont know why I did it.. I heard others did it, and I was probably stressed and scared. Thats when my parents started fighting. yeah.. still self harming. cant stop. :3
I have phases where i stop for a few months and then i start again,recently started again lol idk somethimes i do it ’cause of stuff and other times i just want to feel the bumps and see the red marks,i like the pain now. X3
i was 12 when i started, and i use safety pins as well for convience, but if i can i use an extremely sharp pocket knife
I spent ages 11-13 picking at my skin until I bled, not realizing it was self harm. When I was 14 realized what i was doing and started using razor blades I ripped out from shavers. I still usually use those, but i recently pulled apart one of those plastic pencil sharpeners and the metal blade works well.
I do it because it is a distraction from pain inside. And I suppose I like that the scars on my body represent the emotional scars inside.
I think I’m addicted. : (
Weeee story time. Well the first time incut as a result of a relationship ending. I had stolen razors from my engineering class and i had kept them..i had never cut myself i was like 15…i learned cutting from my ex girlfriend. She used to do it and inhated that she did it…after things didnt work out i tried it to make the pain stop and it worked.
I self harm in ways that don’t leave marks, or unexplainable marks. I punch my legs and arms and make sure I cause bruising, so then i can press the bruising and cause pain whenever I need to and it doesn’t look weird/people don’t ask questions.
My self harm started when I was six. I used to hit myself in the head with my fists every time I got frustrated or was punished for something I didn’t do. As I got older I went for safety pins through the skin of my hand and using sanitary utility blades. Then I stopped and ended up going back to hitting myself in the head. I rarely did that after high school though. But 2010 I became so frustrated I hit myself face and head. The just this year when my dad tried to attack me I had no way to vent so I hit my thighs so hard that one got bruised for a few days. I thought I stopped but it seems it doesn’t take much to trigger the feeling and even something stronger to trigger that loss of bodily control.
