Answer 2

self abuse is a sign that something is seriously wrong in your life. It doesn't take the pain away, it is just replacing it with a different type of pain. What happens when eraser burns no longer make you feel better, will you then graduate to more drastic forms of self abuse. Talk to a counsellor, soon. Life sucks sometimes, but you are the only one that can change that and there are lots of people out there to help you do it. Your boyfriend cares about you so of course he is worried, ask him to go with you to a counsellor, I bet he would.

If I found out someone I knew was self abusing in any way, I would do all I could to get them the help they needed. Please, get some help, that is the only way to really get rid of the pain.

good luck, and know that there are people out there who care about you and will help you

I burned myself with an eraser when I was 11 years old. I did it as a "wimp" test though, not to feel better. Then later, when I was about 13 or so, I carved someones initials in my leg with a piece of glass. I'm 33 now and still carry those scars around with me. It's a big regret. Believe it or not, it does do damage. Find another outlet to relieve your pain. Do not self mutilate.

Answer 4

Using physical pain to distract from emotional pain may work short term, but you're not actually fixing the problem. The emotional pain will keep coming and most likely get worse if you don't work on it. You're just giving yourself slight burns now, but self harm tends to escalate and can be addictive. Your boyfriend just doesn't want to see you in pain, physical or emotional. A therapist would help you find ways to feel better long-term with out harming yourself.

Answer 5

No. they do no longer experience the experience like we people do. it incredibly is because of the fact we've an substantial hectic equipment working by way of our vertebra (backbone) which sends messages to our recommendations. this implies that if if our leg is harm, we experience the soreness on the right recommendations. on the different hand, the bugs are non-vertebra and that they don't have substantial hectic equipment. hence if an ant's leg is overwhelmed, basically the leg will experience community soreness. apart from, their soreness fee is short, considering the fact that they produce great style of off springs and their existence is short. they might additionally reproduce their lost organs. it incredibly is been stated that in case you decrease a cockroach's head, it is going to die after a month using ravenous. Scientists have decrease a lobster's leg and feed him, which he ate. it is likewise authentic that apart from people no different animal knows of its existence.

Answer 6

Young lady.... I believe you might be suppressing some deep-rooted issues. It is not normal to inflict bodily harm on yourself.
I suggest that you talk with a professional about this activity and maybe get to the heart of the matter.
2ndly, I would be concerned if I found out my wife took to burning herself because it felt good!

Answer 7

maybe it bothers your boyfriend so much because he cares about you a lot, and wishes that you could care about yourself as much as he does. he sees great things in you, and wishes you could see yourself through his eyes.

i had a roommate in college, and we ended up becoming best friends. not long after we started living together i found out that she cuts herself...it was always on my mind. i thought that if i was around enough, i would be there for her to talk to, instead of turning to cutting to feel better. or i thought that if i kept scissors, knives, razor blades...if i kept all of that out of site, maybe she wouldn't cut(she gradually started burning herself with cigarettes too). i hated that she felt like she had no other option besides cutting/burning herself to feel better. i know that since i have never done that, or even had the urge, i can't understand her reasons (just as maybe your boyfriend can't understand yours), and i don't doubt that it made her feel better in some way (or at least concentrated her pain in a different way) but to see someone i cared about that much injuring themselves was really hard to deal with.

thats just my experience with that, and i don't know if it at all relates to your situation, but i really hope that you know that he wants you to stop burning yourself because he cares about you, and not because he is trying to stop you from doing something that makes you feel better.

Answer 8

I would feel bad girl get some help hurting yourself is not the way to go you are hiding something talk to someone scars are forever

Answer 9

why would any one burn them self. that is beyond me. it is not normal to want to feel pain, or just hurt one self. ARE YOU CRAZY.
see a doctor before you mutilate your body any further. and take of that useless brain. wake it up to the real world.

Answer 10

Yeah. It is perfectly normal to cut yourself or burn yourself with an eraser.

I have no idea why your boyfriend would think it isn't.
He is probably not too social or he might need help from a counselor or psychiatrist. Maybe get him on some medication so he can lighten up about it.

I hurt cats because it makes me feel better. It doesn't leave a permanent scar and I feel happy.
