I was 14 when I self injured for the first time…it was provoked by 9/11…i had no connection to anything about 9/11 im just a very paranoid person and I was scared and I had all these fears and worries and I didn’t know what to do with them and I wanted a way to distract myself and let out those feelings. I’m 23 now…trying to get better.
I started four years ago when I was 13. I’m not sure we can really say the type without it being triggering… I’m a girl. I have panic disorder and didn’t understand panic attacks. I thought everytime I had an attack that my body was telling me that I needed to harm myself.
I was 14 when i started to Si. My best friend told me she was doing it. I told her to stop, and i realized what i good relase it was. Im a girl, and im 21 now. My family found out when i was 16ish and they think i stopped then. Well 5 years later, I still do it, a lot less, only cuz i cant get away with more.
I was 16 or 17 when I started – my junior year in high school. I’m female and I am 32 now. I still deal with SI on a day to day basis. Some years are better than others – it’s amazing that I can put it terms of years but that seems to be the way it is now. Last year I was fine… so far this year not so good. Its always going to be there no matter if your 13 or 32. I just try to get through every day and make it to the next. Today has not been easy… I’m at work or otherwise I would be crying. I hope tomorrow is better.
I am a girl who has had problems with SI for a long time, since I was little, my mom told me. I didnt really understand when I would do things but as I got older I realized how it made me feel. Last year I started to SI more. (I dont think i can say which kind). Unlike most, I do not SI because I am triggered by a certain feeling. In fact, I have yet to cry when I SI. Sometimes at the end of the day it just feels good to SI. Its not really the pain that I enjoy while SIing. Actually, I think it is the relief, that brief feeling of “alright, its okay.” that I feel when i stop SIing. Even if its a split-second, I like being held in a safe hug that tells me I’m okay.. I dont know why you are asking these questions, but if you are thinking of SIing, DONT. It will start to control your life and every part of you. dont open that door.
