I pulled my hair out and scratched or chewed myself [lips, nails, cuticles] till I bled as an anxious habit. I knew my friends mum cut herself badly and was a self harmer, I had known this since I was 11 [and seen her blades in my friend's bedroom, heard a lot about it etc] but never put a blade to my skin until I was 16.

I actually overdosed before I started cutting. Then when in hospital after the OD I started 'digging things into myself' and when I moved into a psychiatric ward it morphed into cutting very quickly. 3 months later I left with arms covered in marks, cuts and scars, and some on my legs as well.
