Are There Any INFPs Out There...

When things would get bad, I would hit myself or literally bash my head against the wall...it's not something that I'm proud of. At the time, though, I didn't really know of any other way to express the turmoil that I felt inside...

I never have cut myself. I'm glad that I haven't, and I offer my sincerest comfort to those who do...


-edit-

I also have a rather bad habit of digging my fingernails into my skin, or scratching repeatedly at a certain spot on my arms and thighs. I usually lay off when they get so bad to where the skin gets raw, but it's more force of habit than anything anymore.

Yes, it's a form of release. Some people do drugs; Others have a lot of casual sex to fill in a hole. (No pun intended. Maybe.) XD

When I do it, it's like all the bad feelings go away in one sweeping motion.




D'aww hun, I'm so sorry to hear about that. I remember doing the whole scratching and biting myself as well as pulling my hair. I heard about cutting when I was in middle school, almost got close to cutting in 9th grade, and then finally my senior year I started.

I hope you feel better soon!

2. I'm happy to report that I haven't hit myself in a while! I'm much happier than I have been. I still do the scratching thing, but it's more of a nasty habit now...like biting my nails. :mellow:

Thank you for the concern!

I self-harmed occasionally from 16 to 18, then at 18 it got pretty bad. from 20-21 I stopped completely, and then I started up again. It's now been about 2 or 3 months since I've done it. I mainly cut, though I burned occasionally.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm glad that you've stopped!!
