Did you ever hurt yourself?

Sometimes I cut hidden parts of my legs. I know its stupid I KNOW but i dont how to explain why, to the people who never suffered too much and needed to disract themselves.

Sort of. I used to intentionally punch things very hard and try to make my knuckles bleed. You learn very quickly what you can get away with doing that if you don't want a boxer's fracture. Also, during my darkest moments I have just wanted to injure myself in anyway possible, although I never did beyond the first thing I mentioned, as I didn't want to expand that nasty habit.

Biggest thing about improving anything is that you eventually you will decide to stop it and actively choosing for it to no longer be a habit moving forward. I don't mean a boost of positive energy at 3 am, but deciding one day to truly stop and it might be random too.

Not physically but in other ways. I would definitely encourage you to get help. Talk to a doctor or a therapist. Like you said, you know it's not good but you can't explain why. There is help.

Yes. Sometimes I scar myself. Last time I slit my throat and watch myself in the mirror..

I understand you. Sometimes the demons in my head take over and I can't control it anymore. It's like they are blocking Jesus away from me..

Thankyou for MHO

I never did but my daughter did. She did it for a year in high school because it was very stressful for her. Thankfully she did outgrow it. She learned how to control the stress.

not intentionally. I got my hand caught in a fan belt once and took the top of my finger off.

[Sparkie460]

You're lucky it didn't take your whole hand off. What are you sticking your hand by the fan belt for while it was running?

@Sparkie460 it was a grinding wheel and I thought I could stop it but it was stronger than I thought.

Plenty of times.

Cutting is like you described it
