I used to hit myself etc from about 9. Then scratching my arms/punching walls at 11/12. And actually cutting at 15. Have always interfered with wound healing for as far back as I remember, sticking pins and stuff into scabs.
It's strange how common many of these stories are!
I started hitting/scratching myself when I was around 9 or 10. Then started cutting at 15. Did it for about 2 years then managed to quit until I was 20. Now I'm 22.
Just what am I supposed to say?
And tell you why I turned out this way?
Don't make me. Don't make me.
the first time ever i was about 14, iv been on n off SI for 6years now
No one can see the pain that we hide, they're happy for us to keep it inside, our fear is our own; they don't want to know. Why should we involve them; why should it show.
Self harmed from the age of about 6 - on and off for many years now - seem to stop for a while - then it starts all over again - soon be eligible for bus pass in the next couple of years.....
It was the month after my 13th birthday, though I had experimented with it sometime before... maybe 10 or 11 the first time, and twelve the second time. then I got addicted my third time at thirteen
I started when I was 16. Before that it was mainly just beating myself up. I went cold turkey when I was 19, then got addicted to drugs. Weened off of the drugs at 22, and recently started SI again...
I remember clearly biting myself and giving myself bruses at 10, but I also remember having issues that often trigger my SI (namely, auditor hallucinations) younger.
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry "Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!"

I was filled with incoherence .Theories of conspiracy .The whole world wants my disappearance, I'll go fighting nail and teeth .You've never seen such perseverance .Gonna make you scared of me,'Cause haemoglobin is the key - Placebo♥
I started around age 11. I would head bang, bite my arms and the tops of my hands, and hit myself before though. I didn't start cutting till I was 11. I've been doing it for 11 years now. It's a very lonely horrible way to survive.
eating disorder when i was 16
cutting when i was 17
now i'm 18.
i also have a minor but nasty habit of plucking all of my leg hairs...idk what is with it. i like the small amount of pain when pulling each hair...and i love the release. it isn't really a big deal but it leaves lots of scabs on my legs because i sometimes dig if i can't get out the hair. but it is a lot easier to explain than groups of long cuts...
I was 11
My uncle died and nobody in my family was telling me what was going on.
Why he was in hospital,why Mum was going up there and Nan and Grandad too.
I was kept in the dark,until I came home from school and Dad told me he died.
I didn't cry.I went up to my bedroom and sat there for a while,then I started crying and started hitting my head against the wall.
3 months later I was told we were moving to Ireland
This continued until I was 12/13 on an off then I started punch an shortly after that cutting.
And now I am 22.
