[Onlykrc]

1. Gender? Female

 

2. Age? 15

 

3. What do you consider self injury to be?

purposefully causing harm to yourself to ease emotional issues

 

4. How long have you self injured?

i started 2 years ago, i got help 8 months later, i stopped cutting for over a year, and have had only one relapse (less than a month ago) since then

 

5. How frequently do you self injure?

when i did self-injure I did it almost every other night

 

6. Are others aware you do this?

yes...my mom found out 2 years ago, but only my school therapist know I relapsed.

 

7. How have others responded to your self injury? Has this been helpful or unhelpful?

my mom totally freaked out, she got very angry at me, making it much harder for me to recover. It took her a long time to get educated about my problem

 

8. Have you ever sought help, medical or otherwise?

i went to a school counselor, which landed me in psychiatric hospitals 3 times for about 3 weeks each time

 

9. How long does a self injury session usually last? How do you feel before, during and after?

it would last anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour, depending on how crappy I felt and whether I had the house to myself. before, I almost always felt angry, depressed, frustrated, etc. during, I felt numb and was completely enthralled in the cutting that it made me forget I was upset. Afterwards, I always felt guilty for doing it and potentially hurting my mom. I would get angry at myself and eventually I had to cut again to supress the guilt. It got to a point where I couldn't even feel the pain, but seeing and feeling my skin break was enough.

 

10. How do you know when it's time to stop a particular session?

once i saw blood, enough blood, then I would stop. I usually had to be at least 1-3 teaspoons of blood...not that I measured or anything

 

11. Are you aware of any labels attached to you as a self injurer?

crazy, freak, a hopeless case, lazy (unwilling to work toward recovery), "bad"

 

12. Is self injury helpful to you? In what way?

it was. it made me forget all my crappy feelings. no it doesn't. it isn't worth the guilt.

 

13. Have you ever lost a therapist because s/he couldn't deal with your self-injury?

no. but i did leave a therapist and convince my mom that I was better because the therapist didn't seem equipped to deal with my cutting.

I just needed to get out of this world go somewhere where i dont listen to my family and friends fight where i didnt have all the responsiblitys. Somewhere that i could be myself and never feel worthless again! Then during during it i fee so angry like i want to kill something... anything and then regret moves in and takes over.

[pizzachick13]

Hi there. My girlfriend (soon to be fiance') is a nursing student and she's going to be working in the mental health feild so she understands what we all go through. She was also a cutter so she understands all too well.

 

1. Gender? Female

 

2. Age? 18

 

3. What do you consider self injury to be? Any form of harm to yourself, whether physical or mental.

 

4. How long have you self injured? On and off for 8 years

 

5. How frequently do you self injure? Sometimes I couldn't go a few hours without it, other times I could go months. It's been a few weeks since I last cut and I don't want to do it ever again.

 

6. Are others aware you do this? Yes, too many people. I don't like to be known as the cutter, but I am by some.

 

7. How have others responded to your self injury? Has this been helpful or unhelpful? Most have been supportive and have helped me by teaching me techniques to concentrate on others things. ome have been a little weird about it though, but I'm not surprised at that.

 

8. Have you ever sought help, medical or otherwise? Yes. I'm looking into finding another counsellor.

 

9. How long does a self injury session usually last? How do you feel before, during and after? Usually about 3 hours. 1 hour contemplating it and thinking about the consequences and trying to stop myself. 1 hour actually doing it, feeling utterly helpless. 1 hour just watching the bleeding and feeling like a lump of nothing. Although this is what usually happens it can vary.

 

10. How do you know when it's time to stop a particular session? Once I'm in enough pain and I can see enough blood.

 

11. Are you aware of any labels attached to you as a self injurer? Yeah, as said in Q6 I was labelled at "the cutter".

 

12. Is self injury helpful to you? In what way? It can be but the con's far outweigh the pro's. It's helpful because it stops you thinking about all the bad things. You just think about the pain.

 

13. Have you ever lost a therapist because s/he couldn't deal with your self-injury? Yes. She asked me what the worst thing I'd ever done to myself was and I told her (I'm not repeating it) and she literally had to leave the room to be sick.

 

14. Would you like to give up self injury? Yes. I would love to close that door in my life.

 

I hope this helps.

[slavecharolette]

[doyathink]

Has anyone else noticed here that everyone here is a female? Why do you think it's this way. Do you know any males who do this?

[BrokenWingedFaery]

I know lots of guys who do this.

 

It's not that more females do it, it's just that more females are willing to admit it.

[doyathink]

oh, ok...i see. i just wondered if it were more of a females way of releasing pain or if guys tend to do this too. Thanks BWF

[BrokenWingedFaery]

No problem DYT. One of the most common myths about SI is that "only" or "mostly" white, middle class, teen grrrls do it.

 

Actually, the only people who SI seems to be unreported in is the very elderly (70+) and newborns.
