Hugs for all!

I mostly cut and pick at my skin, though have burned myself on occasion too.

I often find myself passively harming myself too.

I started off scratching when I was young. My main issue for most of my SI years was cutting, some occasional burning. Now, strangely enough, it is mostly hitting myself. A lot of my SI problems stem from frustrations I can't express so I think the bruising is kind of like a destructive way of getting it out. I'm very pacifist towards others, so my only choice is to take it out on myself. I also had issues with my SI being fueled purely by 'wanting the marks' and bruising is a temporary fix. I was clean for a long time, and I'm hoping this is a bump in the road I can pass. I was nearly 1 1/2 years clean.

I used to be a really bad cutter, but until a lapse recently I hadn't done so in several years. When I get stressed at work however (line cook) I find I let myself get burned more often.

In more difficult times to cope (in public mostly) scratching my hand or arms was always an escape for me... but i confessed this to my boyfriend and one of my best friends that spends most days with me so they are vigilant to that too now. I'm so ashamed of my sh behaviors that knowing that they could see it made me reduce it. I haven't cut in 7 months - NOT been easy!
Now lip biting is a reality now a days, mostly in stressful situations.

I see a lot of your story with sh in mine... hope you're doing good!

I cut and I burn. This past year I've been doing more burns than cuts.
Also I'll scratch, bite, or hit myself if I can't get ahold of anything to cut or burn with.

in public like ppl said, I bite my lip, scratch, bit the skin round my nails.

S.harm has mainly been cutting/scratching/punching. This has gone up a down depending on when i'm doing better/worse with drinking & eating disorder. x
