Is biting yourself fucked up?

[Anonymous]

I don't do drugs or drink anymore which is what I used to resort to when I'd get pissed off or sad. Now that I don't use those things my anger boils so bad that I just bite myself because if I didn't I'd probably slit my wrist or punch someone in the throat. Is this normal? I hate feeling this way and i hate the bruising it leaves but that's why I don't cut, this doesn't leave scars. Does anyone else do this? (Don't know what I'll do in the summer cuz I'm not going to wear long sleeves

Try taking this anger and use it for something else. Some people scream it out in isolated areas, other people use punching bags even some who takes it out on video games. If it's not too serious, I know some people who use stress relief balls. Everyone has some way to deal with anger.. yours is biting yourself..

You're on some other shit lol. Chill out dude, I have a fucked up life too. I just hustle on through, so should you.

[Asker]

I'd love to chill out but I get so angry that I can't handle life like keep all knives away from me for 30 seconds and don't say anything sassy to me because I'll fucking kill you. Kind of thing. I have anger issues. The biting shit takes my anger away though it brings the boil to a simmer lol I dunno I wish it wasn't this way I have problems ugh

And the way I see it I'm not hurting anyone else by doing it. Drinking and doing drugs indirectly hurt people, being violent towards others hurt them but now I'm just doing it to myself. Maybe after a year or so I won't feel so tense? I'm 4 months sober

If I knew I had a problem, I would go see a doctor about it. Come on dude, you could fix your life of this. I had acne, I took accutane, boom - little to no acne. It's okay to get the help needed to get on the same playing field as everyone else. We were both at a disadvantage to everyone else from the start. The question is, will you take the step necessary to level the playing field?

Ur just being ignorant this genuinely isn’t how it works don’t compare someone struggling with addiction and self harm (mental illnesses out of their control) to you having acne you ache does effect how your brain works and your ability to get help. you are comparing 2 things that are completely incomparable and telling her to “hustle on through” is just condescending

I did when I was younger.

THink of having to explain that to someone when they see it... that should help curve your need to do it and work on breathing and deeply as you can through your nose then out as much as you can through your mouth and repeat over and over... it's therapeutic.

My brother caught me doing it once and laughed at me he said wtf are you doing I just said nothing... And he said holy fuck dude.. stared at me for 20 seconds then slowly left and closed the door. We never talked about it again I don't think he told anyone

I have cut and burned and bit... years and years and years ago... and I get the desire sometimes but their si literally not a part of be I could do it and not have to answer about it eventually so I breathe or run or do high interval workouts. takes the edge off big time.

I'm in a small apartment with a family member, we're snowed in I can't go outside for long if I do, there is only one room I'm currently in the kitchen trying to get some space but they follow me around

run in place, exercise using your phone to show you what to do or likes I said just close your eyes and breathe... it helps.

[Opinion Owner]

is there a bathroom maybe go in there and close your eyse and breath while witting on the toilet.

[AnaWryneck]

You should seek therapy it's very fucked up and there's probably a deeper problem you shouldn't want to have to do drugs or drink or hurt yourself to deal with your issues

[Anonymous]

I used to do it A LOT when I was little. I stopped doing it though.

[Asker]

How did you stop? What helped?

[Opinion Owner]

I didn't do anything to make it stop. It just did. I honestly did it a lot in the past though.

[zombiebabe]

at least you found a way to evacuate the tension felt

[Bleepasaurus_RexEwww]

Don't do that! Just have someone else do it for you... okay seriously you should talk to someone... it's not healthy for you to do this.

[DinosaurLover]

No I bite myself all the time. It help keeps me focused on a certain thing.

[ASEXY]

Yes, it's abnormal behavior...

[Missmouse91]

Find another outlet for your anger.

[singlebee]

[cupidkisses]

[Teenwolf18]
