Different Forms of Self Harm

I did, I scratched myself and occasionally caused small burns (never worse than a mild sunburn) and stuff like that. I think it's so weird that no one talks about this!

I would cut, hit, and burn myself just to convince myself that I was alive

For me self harm was just cutting, hitting myself, letting other things hurt me (like a cat scratching me or if the oven is hot), I used a key once just to scratch up my skin and make a big bruise, etc. It was an addiction until I got caught and they threatened to send me away and body check me if I didn't stop so I did. Until recently

At my worst, I would use a lot of temperature based things to hurt myself. My water at my old house used to get really fucking hot so I would go to my bathroom and run my hand under that fucking hot water or even shower in it (if I had the energy to). During the winter months, I would go outside without much clothes on me and force myself to stay outside as long as I could. I used to be the same with not really thinking I was self harming because I thought you could really only cut and do it. Years and years later, I just realized that every time I would go on the bus for school, I would lay my head on the windows and I wouldn’t move it at all and let the bus through around my head. I lived out in the country so that bus was bouncing around with gravel roads and it would hit my head pretty hard sometimes. I really don’t think people talk about other forms of self harm much. I wish this would change to spread more awareness.

I hit myself all the time whenever im anxious, stressed, angry, ect. I use dto burn myself, cut, starve, ect

My go to recently has been picking my toenails and finger nails off. But I have duct taped my self and pulled it off hard. Used nair wrong on purpose. Things like that.

I used to give myself black eyes

Yes, my got to is cutting though but I've also burned myself, hit my head, hit myself until I get big bruises, banged my head against things. That's all I remember right now.

I used to rip my gums out of my mouth. It was so bad, my dentist said I was the worst case he'd ever seen, and I might need grafting surgery. That was 9 years ago and I haven't gone back but I only recently stopped.
