anger, emotions and a lot more really i couldnt handle it all so i thought that phisical pain would take away the emotional pain i had and it kinda did for a while then it stopped working and now i regret it every time i look at my arm it makes me feel sooo bad but hey it happened and it cant be changed
I was living in a Children's home and seen another young person do it in there when she was upset. So out of curiosity the next time I was upset I did it because I wanted to see how it helped as it seemed to help her. Sadly the addictiveness was a shock to me and it was a very hard and difficult habit to break.
Stress. I didn't even know what I was doing at the time and for ages I thought I was the only one lol. Until I found internet sites of course =P Now I have ugly purple scars on my arms and legs and regret the first day I thought of it.
I don't actually know. For some reason it somehow seemed like a good idea. I don't know where I got the idea from, as I didn't know anyone who self harmed then. It was the same with my eating disorder actually. It just made sense at the time, and got carried away.
