Self harming and bruises?!

Question: Self harming and bruises?

I have been cutting for the past 2 years and Im trying to stop but I just can't. I was watching girl interrupted the other day and heard about wrist banging and have decided that when I want to cut I would just bang my wrist against something to still get the satisfaction of it the only problem is, it doesnt bruise. It bruises for a second then goes away. I know its bad to ask for tips on this but please how can I make it bruise.

Answers:

trouble is if you do that your replacing one way of hurting yourself for another,i know what you are trying to say i use to try so had to find other things but always ended up hurting myself one way or another i was once given a thick elastic band by a counsellor to put on my wrist and if you ping it hard enrough it really ,really hurts It doesn't always work but it certainly takes your mind of everything for a while.I know this probably wasn't quite the answer you wanted but everyone who harms themselves never wants someone else to do it we only ever feel as if it's ourselves who should be hurt. xxxxx

you sound like you're looking for attention.
not in a bad way, but...you're asking about how to bruise yourself?
that's not normal.
I'm not even being judgemental, but are you okay?
i think you should talk to someone about it.
