I Self-harm

I started cutting when i got in a big arguement with my best friend and she stopped talking to me. So i felt alone after that and cried myself to sleep every night for a week. This was about two months ago. It started with a few...

I'm listening to slow, beautiful instrumental music in a darkly-lit room. I slowly roll back my sleeve, exposing my pale forearm. With one hand I hold my sharpest pair of scissors, and with the other I gently finger the blades, then...

I can feel it. It's deep in the pit of my stomach. The acid churns and pops and the muscles ache.

My chest aches and becomes tight. It's hard for me to take a deep breath. The muscles in my throat constrict and the air catches.

My...

Like 2 days ago I said I stopped cutting. And then came relaspe. Sorry I disappointed you, or that I'm stupid enough to do that, or that I'm apparently emo if I self-harm, or that I'm immature. Oh sorry, just let you hear a bit of what...

Close your eyes and go to sleep
And dream of all the things that made you weep
You just want all the pain to end
All your life you've had to pretend
Beautiful blade shines so bright
Looking at all the blood and loving the sight...

I lost a lot of respect for Dara O'Brian tonight. He did a piece on surfing, and described how the coins on the surfboard cut and bruised his legs up. Then he said 'I looked like some weird emo chick.' I found that awful. Like my...

An empty room, an empty girl
Sitting silently on the floor
Her sleeve rolled up, exposing skin
She drags the blade and presses in
The pain it brings cannot compare
To the joy she knows will soon be there
It's worth the scars that...

I have self harmed for more than about five months now. My parents don't know and it was easy to hide but now as it is getting warmer it is becoming more difficult to hide! I have scars too which make me who I am. A couple friends...

last night got myself into such a mood where I couldn't stop thinking about it.
I didn't have any razors so I took a pair of scissors and cut "weak" into my thigh. It gave me such a release and rush at the same time.

She never smiles,
her pain she hides.
She stares blankly,
only in herself she confides.

she doesn't let anyone in,
too afraid to take the risk.
If you looked, you'd see the bruises,
the scabs and the scars on her wrist.

She has been...

Life is never easy, death is even harder. Through all my time I have only knowing pain. People always go on about how hard their life is. Many go on about how they would cut themselves if they lost their boy friend or girl friend. More...

3 months clean
Not even a scratch
And now I relapsed.
I couldn't help it.
I hate myself.

I can't help cutting myself.
It's been getting more frequent and brutal. I have had 6 suicide attempts.

First of all, I am a 34 year old Male and I Self Harm. I don't really know what led to this, but I have many factors. I have had Bipolar since I was young, and also had to deal with a lot, so any of those things could have been a...
