Am I the only one?

[Celticroots]

I am annoyed that some people think that the only form of self-harm is cutting. I guess it annoys me because I feel like people who engage in lesser known forms of self-harm are not talked about enough if that makes sense.

Am I the only one who feels this way?

Guess I'm not so sure about the annoyance factor, but I think it can make it a bit more difficult to explain different types of self-harm. I think there's a lot of people who don't take into consideration that there's more than one way to hurt yourself.
So yeah- not so sure about "annoying," but more misunderstood and maybe tedious to explain.

Your not alone, I can assure you, there are many forms all of which I have done at some point or other, ripping my hair out, burning myself, picking my skin, biting my nails until they bleed, stabbing myself with pins or a compass, but I primarily cut but have been SH free for over 3 years. If you want to talk about other forms of SH I'm sure nobody here is going to dismiss it, you could even ask, if there is some form of SH you do, does anyone else do this? I think the replies will surprise you. Never feel as if your being ignored *hugs* hope in some way I've helped to ease the way you feel, don't be scared to post about the other forms of SH just because their slightly less common

in some ways i'm annoyed, but at the time i was harming alot in multiple ways, i kinda liked it because it meant that i could get away with more stuff without people questioning. though thats really a bad thing, and i can see that now.
