What do self harmer's do to themselves?
Question:
Answers:
As a self-harmer myself, I turn emotional pain into a physical thing that is easier to deal with. There are many ways that people use to cause injuries to themselves, but basically they all do it as a way of dealing with inner turmoil.
Harm themselves! Either through cutting or burning the skin
I think your answer is in the question you've asked
Hi,
I am guessing you mean methods and I would hope your not looking for ideas but generally cutting with sharp objects, burning their skin, biting, hitting themselves, or banging their bodys of hard or sharp objects, nipping themselves, picking their skin, scratching, ingesting or disgesting harmful things, eating disorders can also be a method of self harm.
basically anyway of harming yourself. It's not usually or at least not always an attempt to end their life but to either distract their minds from mental pain, turn the mental pain into psychial pain; some people do it to feel alive, to feel the pain because they feel nothing or self punishment.
It's a complicated condition usually revolving around many things
best of luck
umm...harm themselves? well, besides the obvious, self harmers hurt themselves to deal with emotional pain in a physical way. They do this to make themselves feel better, so that they dont have to deal with emotional pain at all, instead they can release it through the slices in their skin. it is actually a wonderful feeling...not being able to feel any emotions, however i would not recommend it, because it is so addictive that once you start it is very hard to stop.
self harm. what else?!
i do it too it stops me getting mad and up set
I pull my hair out!
I hope you're not asking this because you are considering selfharming. If you are, PLEASE don't! I've been selfharming on and off (mainly just scratches) for 6 years or so, but since Christmas 2006 to now (July 2007!) I've progressed from those 'just' scratches to burning myself, slicing into my thigh, stomach and breast, and just recently 'playing' with a knife on my wrist with the thoughts of "if it goes too deep, so be it".
I am scarred, badly. My stomach will likely always be scarred from the burns which got infected. My thigh is pretty bad, i don't think i'm gonna be wearing a short skirt again any time soon. And now my wrist has obvious marks, and I can't wear bracelets all the time!
This is such an addictive thing to get into, it really is. When I'm upset or angry my way of coping is to cut myself. No other coping mechanism is as good for me, and that's pretty damn cr*p.
