Pins and Needles

Rilic · 09-12-2011, 04:45 AM

I hate them, right.

I just cut again, and none are deep, they're all little more than scratches, but now I'm getting pins and needles along my thumb and in my index and middle finger, which is annoying. I don't know if it's anything to do with the cold, but I've not had this before.

I'm sure what it is exactly, but I can remember getting that feeling when I used to cut.

I kind of hurts, like a twinge when my hand moves a certain way, but it's more annoying than anything.

HAHAH, I can't help but find it funny whenever a self harmer goes "OMG, This hurts!!! Why?!?"

Lol, I always laugh at myself when I remember complaining about how much it hurt when I would do it. I even have been told by people that it's silly how I am terrified of blood and would still do it.

I think you should get it checked out because it could be a sign of nerve damage.

I think every self harmer feels funny about that. I feel so odd telling people I'm too pain intolerant to get a tattoo. If that's so why would I cut and burn myself what. O_O I still feel odd about telling even people who do self harm that I hate pain, even though they also experience this.
