Something Strange *Adult*
 
Hello
OK, this is going to sound really weird and I would apprechiate it if people don't think I'm wierd.

One day after school I really needed to SH 'cos some chav was being well... chavvy and p*****g me off. So anyway he'd told his big sis that I'd said something when I didn't so she caught me up, stopped me and kneed me right between the legs and then kicked me with high heels and I found that my stress was gone... I hadn't SH'd but someone else had gotten rid of the stress for me...
Is this sorta thing isolated to me?
Is this a normal thing?

Thanks

Its not weird. Your body is used to having hurt be a good thing, especially when you are already stressed to begin with. The release of endorphins makes your body and brain feel better and less stress, even when coming from outside sources and not self inflicted.

I hope that makes sense.

The response of your body when you're hurt is the same whether it's self-inflicted or not so some people feel the same as what you did, especially as that will be a sudden, intense pain. Having said that though, pain doesn't have that affect on me unless I am SH'ing but that is because, for me, a lot of it is due to control rather than pain/ whatever because I don't do it for the pain most of the time. So yeah, t'is definately possible that pain from someone else hurting you does the same and I've heard people say that stuff like that is what started them self harming in the first place.

i guess that makes sense in the fact that there is harm to yourself, whether it be intentional or not.
but personally for me its not satisfying unless im the one doing the harming.
all i know is there would be hell to pay if some bitch kicked me there.

Hey hun.
Please try not to be stereotypical.
I do not get that myself i have to be the one causing the pain but i dont think its wierd, it makes sense really shows that your addicted to the pain it brings when your hurt.
