First time you ever experimented with self-harm?
I was just a kid... I think I was 11 or something. I start with knifes and then with cutter at 15. Now Im 24, everything that cut works for me.
Self harm comes in many forms, cutting is the one everyone reconises. ive done it 3 times but it felt wrong. my self harm isnt so visible but its been a process for 32 yrs of my life.
The first time I have self harmed myself was a few weeks ago I was feeling depressed, and normally I like to go though old things in my house, so that's what I did. But when I was going to though and old box of stuff, I found a razor. I cut myself on my shoulder, to see if I could still feel pain. I mean it hurt, but not the way I thought it would, i thought it would be way worse, so I guess you could say I can't. Not I have several scars on my shoulder.
The first time I self-harmed I was about 11. I don't really remember. But I know I was young, and I hurt a lot. It was on my wrist, and I patched it up with gauze so everyone could see. I was young, naive, and not very smart. I told people it was a burn from making macaroni. Even though they were cuts. I told my mom and step dad they were from my puppy. They didn't believe me but didn't do anything about it.
I have self harmed in the past, when things were extremely difficult for me. I used scissors and would slice into my hand until I had caused some bleeding. It has always been in that area that I self harmed, I would cut it, burn it. I didn't really think I was doing harm to myself, just releasing some emotional pain that I had, but even though the marks weren't deep, I still have them and would have to come up with ridiculous excuses for why they were there.
I was 13 and this boy I 'loved' I knew self-harmed but he was with another girl and it made me upset so I decided to try it. Now I wish I never did. Self harm can be very addictive
Was when I got pressed in class and digged my nails into my skin. It helped but...
When I was 12-13 years old.
For me it was when I was 12 or 13.
The funny thing was that the thing that got me into it was a stupid accident. Didn't take me long to do it on purpose then though :/
The first time I cut was when I was 12, I had wanted to try it for a while and one day my friend admitted that she did it. Suddenly it didn't seem like it was so bad so I tried it that day. I'm 16 now and I still do it sometimes. I've never really been addicted to it, but I use it as a way to punish myself when I feel its necessary.
