If you could take back the first time you ever self injured...would you?

Answer 1

No I wouldn't. I burned myself because of the abuse my father was putting me through. What he did to me hurt so much more than the physical pain I did to myself. But I grew and learned from these experiences. I finally learned hey my father is an a**hole and look at how much power I'm giving him. I hope you can overcome this. I know what it's like to be in your shoes and it's a damn shame that people cut themselves just for the attention because it makes people think nothing of it.

Answer 2

Yes I would! It is so hard for others to understand self harming. In my case I was severly sexually, mentally, verbally and physically abused from the age of 2 through 21. I self injure to punish myself for letting it happen. I don't mean to but I can't help it. I don't feel the burning either its like I'm not even there when I do it. Its like I black out. I only feel it when I come to from my black out. When the doctor asked me about it I told him I don't remember doing it because I don't. Self Harming is an aweful sickness. I wish you the best of luck stopping it, because it is so dangerous. Hugs! Von!
