Have you ever self harmed?

[A_Nihilist]

Yes I have. It is something I do not encourage but it is not something that I will shake a stick at either.

Self harm in moderation can be healthy. So long as you do it safely, it can be a fantastic way to vent out stress.

Those who say directly to the person that they shouldn't do that, or they get angry or disappointed. It will only make them feel worse.

I find it best to take the approach of telling them "If you feel the need to do it and it makes you feel better. Just don't destroy your body and give yourself scars or damage that you'll later regret."

I pick my lips till they bleed and pull on nails till they make my skin bleed.. bad habit.. and mosquito bites too, scraping them off

[TheUniqueOne96]

Sometimes used to go a day without eating, can't remember why, maybe I was pissed at someone or something, probably the former.

I never really understood the whole self harm thing. A friend tried to explain it to me once. I was still kind of at a loss as to why though.

[Egirl28]

Yes I used to cut the bottom of my feet and pinch my skin to the point I had red marks. It was the only release that worked

[Anonymous]

I did a few times as a teenager, but not since then. So I've been doing better with that for almost 20 years.

[Anonymous]

Yes I have. I stopped for a long time but had a relapse a few years ago. I've been feeling like doing it more often lately because life has been tough this past year, but so far I have not.

[ChrisMaster69]

Yes, we all carry our own demons, some want blood, some want other sacrifices

[Aiko_E_Lara]

I wouldn't say actually stop but i don't know it so often anymore. I now just do it like maybe once in two months just when i feel like it just to satisfy myself

[msc545]

I think I have by doing high-risk sports in the past, and not caring about what could happen. No more of that now.

[Clarke498]

Nah. Just hurting myself in stupid ways. There are maybe some mental ways though.

[_no_one_]

Yeah i was adrenaline deficient ans self harm excited me but now it seems dumb.

[CubaPirate]

Just the once a long time ago as a troubled teenager

[Pulseofsulfur]

I use to but I'm honestly starting to think about doing it again because I'm tired of feeling like no one cares about me anymore

[DizzyDesii]

Nah i’ll cut another hoe before i ever cut myself

[Iron_Man]

I don’t do that, that’s mostly a woman’s thing

[Agape93]

A, but through recklessness.

[MrCreep]

Kind of I always punish myself with things

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Yes. Self isolated.

[KingdomForAKiss]

I have, yes.

[COMMODOREII]

I thought about it

[Jmmmfi4]

Oh yeah
