How old were you when you started to Self Injure? 13
How do you SI? cutting, burning or overdosing depends
Do you try to hide it? How? yes gloves long sleeves thick bracelets
Why do you SI? What do you get out of it? if i'm anxious nervous annoyed or angrey it helps calm me down
Have you ever told anyone that you SI? If yes, who did you tell and how did they react? How did you tell them? yes i eventually told my form tutor at the time after her constantly asking what was wrong by asking if i could talk to her when she was free umm i don't remember how she reacted i wasn't looking at her maybe slightly surprised
Did you ever seek professional help for SI? If yes, did it help you? well i was forced to see the doctor by the school and then they reffered me to a councilor at first it didn't but now it's starting to.
Did you ever want to seek help but didn’t? If yes why didn’t you? yes I was scared i'm not good at talking to people.
Have you ever been diagnosed with a psych disorder? If yes, which one? noDo you think there is a connection between the disorder and your SI?
Have you ever SI with the intent of suicide? no
If you have been to the hospital for SI, how did the staff treat you? no i refuse to go for overdoses
Did you ever want to quit SI? Please explain both yes and no answers. If you did decide to try to quit about how long after you started to SI did you decide you wanted to quit? What did you try to do to quit? What helped and what did not? yes about 2 years after i started i tried just stopping but it didn't work so i spoke to my form tutor to see if she had any ideas what i could do to help stop she suggested stuff i could try to do instead and helped get me counciling
Do you think SI should be categorized as disorder in itself? hmm maybe in some cases
Did your SI injury get worse with time or did it stay about the same? got worse
If you could find healthier ways that would give you the same effects of SI, would you stop SIing and replace it with the healthier alternative? i don't think so i've tried a couple of things they help for a bit but not long term
Did you ever regret SI? yes sometimes
Do you think the awareness of SI effects peoples willing/unwillingness to ‘come out’? no well maybe SH just generally seems to be something personal that you don't want other people to know about i suppose that could be down to what people think but often i think thats the way people prefer it anyway
