after a year and a half of cutting myself, I've finally told someone, in a roundabout way. I sent an email to my school counselor (a woman whom I love and deeply trust). it was an annoynymous e-mail, from a "friend" who was concerned about me; a cowards way out, perhaps, but...

People say you should count and breath if you are anxious...about to lose your temper or in some cases hurt yourself. It jut doesnt seem to work.

I need to admit...I please I must say this my trigger you.
Well a long while ago I bought these syringes and needles through a pet vet cataloge.
I got the "bright" idea to use them as blood letting tools.
Yeah it worked.
I took the needle...in a vien...with my teeth pulled the stopper only to see blood rise. :shock:

Well this is a rather complex issue for me.
1. Do I get pleasure (relaxed feeling) from cutting myself?
I dont mean anything sexual people. I mean emotional relaxation.

I sometimes want the pain just to feel ...

Interesting, I did the same thing along time ago. Rarely will female admit this kind of self harm.

Blood-letting is rather severe form of self harm. Like make you can see the blood and feel the pain coming out of you.

please think about this, ...

Hi. sorry for invading your foum, but I felt the need to put my story here.

I used to cut, I started when I was 15. I had very few friends and was bullied at school. I cut because I had thoughts running round and round my head which were so painful and not able to escape that I had to give myself physical pain so I had something to distract me with those thoughts. ...
