CaptainHotPantsPi card	Posted Oct 27th, 2009 at 2:35PM In terms of your health? It's bad. Especially depending on where you bruise. I imagine you could do a lot of damage to your internal organs if you hit yourself hard enough. Don't do it, it's so not worth it. Rated: +1Vote for this!

luckypickle	Posted Oct 27th, 2009 at 2:33PM Yes it is...to a point. Like Durb said. I also burn along with cutting and bruising..I'd say get help..but I can't say it will help. Rated: +1Vote for this!
DyingInside	Posted Oct 27th, 2009 at 2:35PM IANAP (I am not a psychologist) but I'd say yes. In both cases you're causing physical pain to yourself in an attempt to cover up the emotional pain. I'm glad to hear your safe, that is the important thing. Rated: +1Vote for this!

degenerate1991	Posted Oct 27th, 2009 at 2:43PM It's a less annoying (scars are annoying) way of achieving the same end, pain, so yeah, it's pretty much the same. My only advice would be that if you're going to do it, stick to your limbs, so as not to damage internal organs and the like. Rated: +1Vote for this!
DeenaMonroe	Posted Oct 27th, 2009 at 2:48PM I would say "yes" and please stop!!! Rated: +1Vote for this!
durbanpoison	Posted Oct 27th, 2009 at 2:29PM no it's not... the reason you are doing it may be the same... the feeling you get from doing it may be the same... but bruising does not leave scars that will last for years. if you are hitting yourself... or cutting you need to go speak to a doctor and get some councling or medication. Or just keep slashing and bashing... Rated: +1Vote for this!
bronagh1	Posted Oct 27th, 2009 at 2:55PM i think its another form of self harming, keep your chin up and take care of yourself. Rated: +1Vote for this!
porkchopsandwich	Posted Oct 27th, 2009 at 3:12PM OMG for some reason I thought your PS said, "I'm not black." and was like WTF does that have anything to do with bruises? Rated: +1Vote for this!
purpletears	Posted Oct 27th, 2009 at 4:05PM sorry to hear you are going through some stuff. I dont thing its exactly the same. the need to bleed and the frustration that causes the hitting are different. (at least for me). If you are causing yourself pain please dont. I am sure you are unique and beautiful. What are you wanting to be different in your life? Rated: +1Vote for this!
