I Am a Self Injurer Stories of Experiences

I cut. There I said it. If anyone knew I would be hated. Everyone thinks I am happy. Look on my wrists and you will see I am not. I am knew to this, and I dont do it for attention. It was just scraching at first. I loved looking at them...

First of all, im sorry if this is not a great english. i'm latin.
I've self harmed for a year and a half now. It got to a point where i can't be without doing it for a week. My family clearly does not help, they actually hate people...

I'm really sorry, I don't speak english very well because I'm french so it won't be perfect.
I'm a transgender of 18 years.
I've self-harmed about 4 years, at the beginning it was because my father died and I take care about my mother...

Iam not sure why I started but, it seems as if its the only constant in my life. The pain is the one thing I can control and the one thing that brings me release. Maybe one days I won't have the urge to do it any more.

My birthday came and went early March. I got a package in the mail from my grandmother that held a couple books. She was always like that. Sending a rosary or books or paint. Something grandmother-y. Very typical I guess, but these were...

I've self harmed for about 3 years. It's been such a hard thing to deal with because I feel like self harm splits you into two different people. There's that side of you that wants to keep deceiving your family members and friends and...

It feels like I'll never be able to quit. It feels like this is going to affect me for my whole life.
It's an addiction. I hate it. I hate myself for it. So why do I run to it?
Cutting.... replacing the emotional pain that builds up...

Why do people self harm?

Hi everyone i am 14 years old turning 15 soon. I am a Freshman in high school. Im depressed. When i was 8 years old i lost my grandmother. I was very close to her we did everything together. We went to the movies, ate lunch, went...

13 little white lies on my bicep.
Wearing sleeveless shirts is embarrassing.
I feel everybody's eyes staring once I take my jacket off.
These scars define me to the outer eye.
My first impression?
I am a cutter and something is wrong...

I'd rather punish myself than have her punish me by ignoring me or being hostile towards me. Because me cutting myself hurts a lot less.

She paints a pretty picture but this picture has a twist you see.. A razor is her paintbrush and her body is her canvas. She paints her pretty picture in a color that's blood red. While using her sharp paintbrush she ends up finally...

I self harmed again today, though it helped it didn't last as long as I'm used to. For about 2 minutes I was ok. Then it all came back and now I'm at the same position I was before I self injured. Ughh!!! So triggered...

I wish I could put down the blade . I wish I could just stop. No amount of treatment or therapy has worked for me. After countless hospital visits you'd think I would be scared. I just wish it was easy . I wish I never picked up that...

Yesterday i went out to eat with my boyfriend and his family. It was a warm spring day, i wanted to wear a skirt and a cute shirt to go with it. But the cuts on my arms said "no, not today.". I wore a long sleve blouse with my skirt...

I Cut myself. I read in a book once that most people feel that their story of self injury are different from one another, that no one can or has felt the same way...

I don't feel that way, I look through these posts and i can relate...

I feel....well I don't know. Left behind. Lost. Tired. Tied down. I can feel myself slipping from my friends, and they don't really seem to care. My parents all they do is scream and yell and scream some more. And it's always at me. Not...

I will blow up if I don't tell someone about myself.
So, let me start
It all started easy. I wanted to forget a guy who I've been crushing for some time, but thought I'm crazy and mentally impaired. I started using rubber band. In no...

Everyday i ask myself where is my razor? Is there somewhere i can go to hide and get away? Where would i cut?
I have been cutting for some time now. At least 4 years. My cutting is the reason I've yet to get my arms...
