What is Self-Injury?
Self-Injury (SI) is the act of physically hurting yourself on purpose without the intent of commiting suicide. It is a method of coping during an emotionally difficult time that helps some people temporarily feel better because they have a way to physically express and release the tension and the pain they hold inside. In other people hurting themselves produces chemical changes in their bodies that make them feel happier and more relaxed.

How does SI develop?
The origin of SI is usually difficult to determine or understand. Many people are unable to remember where they first got the idea of hurting themselves, and when they actually began to SI.
But a small number of people develop SI through observational learning (a process where a person learns a behavior by watching someone else do it). The chances of most people actually seeing another person SI are very slim, but in places such as psychiatric hospitals and prisons the odds are much higher. Remember, the chances of this happening are very small.
What is the course of SI?
People who SI usually begin by cutting themselves with a knife, razor blade, or other sharp object. From there the person tries other forms of SI, such as burning, hitting, etc., until they find their prefererred method.
Incidents of SI peak in the early to mid-twenties. Often because of the great changes that occur, and the new responsibilies and roles that produce great stress in an individual. But, often, SI incidents decrease with age, and most people stop SI-ing altogether by the time they reach their thirties.
Remember, this is the typical course of SI. There are people who begin SI-ing at a very young age, or at an old age. Some continue to hurt themselves after they reach their thirties. Everybody's experience is different.

Realise that they are probably suffering from depression and make a doctor's appointment immediately, and ask for a referral to someone with a good record in treating those who self harm, then go to: www.depression.com/- and www.relax7.com/7.php and see the blogs of Shan Eris on "tackling depression" at www.myspace.com It has links, techniques and suggestions that may help, and on the myspace homepage, type in the terms "cutting", "self harm", "self mutilation","harm". and "mutilation", in the bar near the top of the webpage. Consider joining a group of similar sufferers, either in person, or online or myspace; groups or Yahoo! groups or Google; groups, maybe exchanging phone numbers.

i do the same thing!!. my dad found a knife under my pillow and put me in a rehab place for 3 weeks i was soo angry with him...

i suggest you seek help, talk to someone you feel close to and understands you well and knows your problems..therapists are full of ****...they dont help at all they just ask you stupid questions for an hour-in the end ,its just a waste of time!!

you are probably suffering from depression like me, you are getting suicidal thoughts, you arent bothered to do things you enjoy anymore, you just wanna sleep all day long. I suggest you hang out with someone who always makes you happy. Or watch a funny movie. Try taking anti-depressant, they dont always help everyone but for some it helps...

talk to someone you think could understand you. dont talk to someone you know will just bring you down and stuff like that. you can seek counceling. it really helps when you know you've got someone who will listen to you no matter what. dont kill yourself. dont.

you can talk to me. i'll try to give you some advices and try to help. well, im not a councelor or whatever but somehow i understand how you feel cause i've been in that situation. there are people out there who cares for you. often times you just dont realize that they do.
