Ive been really depressed and felt low sometimes but ive never resorted to cutting. I used to bang my head against the wall for a long time without let-up when i was younger but it was to block out the noise/stress i was experiencing. im too squemish with blood and stuff to cut, even if i am feeling very low (not very manly xD) i tend to relive these bad feelings thru external means, my anger directed towards teh outside (punching walls and stuff Shocked) so i guess im lucky in that respect, although if it came down to it id rather hurt myself than cause pain to others. but im getting better in respects my anger, if i feel the need to damage something ill take it out on something soft like a pillow or someting Laughing

The other day I cut myself really deep across the wrist with a razor blade. It bled really badly for about an hour and I honestly thought I was going to end up in the hospital. I called up my best friend and I was crying my head off. I'm going to try and make a point of never doing that again.


Sad i get upset that people have to go through things like this because of their troubles Sad

I like slicing my arms with kitchen knives because I get this thrill out of the sight of leaking blood.
I also do it when I'm really depressed because I feel that it's a perfect way to redirect and release my inner angst.

I just got two new ones, one a couple weeks ago, and one yesterday. really nice sharp point. it doesn't leave scars or anything, and I only do it when i'm really, really, depressed, and can't be reached.

When I feel depressed, I use to crashing my head or my fists against a wall, while I'm crying.

Also, I hit my head/face/stomach with a large object (for example, a TV remote control or a broom) or my fists

I self harmed for a number of years though haven't in a while as i am no longer depressed.
Mainly i would use a razorblade on my arms and wrists especially.I would also burn myself, that is, heat up metal objects and put them on my skin and occasionally i would stab myself with a needle.
When it's less severe, or when i don't have access to razorblades etc (i.e in class) then i would scratch my arms until it bled, i also dig my nails in, bite my lip kick things etc.
I have found that when i'm in the mood to self harm, throwing things help, especially if they're breakable, like mugs, i find it very satisfying destroying something.

cut my arms and legs with razorblades and pocket knives. Burn my arms.
I get very angry and that causes me problems, but self harming calms me down.
I used to cut or burn everyday, or sometimes a few times a day during high school, now sometimes i can go a month without doing it.

Don't wanna offend anyone, or be an ass, but I think that self-harm is illogical.

I've heard about people who harm themselves because they want attention [cliche "emo" style, they feel ignored and unwanted so they desire attention through any means possible], but if it's just a way of stress relief, there are better ways to do it.

And nothing in the world is worse than seeing someone you love hurt themselves.

It is illogical, but for some it's an almost immediate reaction.

As do I. I don't cut myself or anything to get it, but if I've been cut, I may as well enjoy disinfecting the wound (seeing as how saliva acts as a mild antisceptic).

Anyway, I don't practice self harm, nor have I ever, but for some reason I feel kind of tempted from time to time to cut patterns into my skin. Never given into the temptations, though, since I know it would hurt like hell, plus my family would probably think I'm nuts.

I've done the pattern thing, as well as writing, luckily it didn't scar, then i'd have a LOT of explaining to do.
