Self harmers?!

Self harmers?

How many cutters here don't actually cut until they bleed? i don't as i actually hate the sight of blood, i only allow a teeny tiny amount of blood. am i abnormal?

And i think cutting is the most common, so how many self harmers here don't cut, but use some other method such as burning?

ok, let me re-phrase. am i abnormal in not cutting till i bleed? i know self harm is abnormal.

and please none of the 'don't cut' answers - i am trying to stop, and i will probably be getting professional help soon. i know it is unhealthy etc etc

Tacit Rainbow - if that is meant to be a joke it's not funny. this is not something to joke about, it's serious, even i know that.

Tanya C - would be great if i could run the blade across my skin without pressing and just imagine - but although i don't want the blood, i do want the lasting mark. thats what does it for me. so i have to cut.

Advicie - f*ck off.

Its actually called "fine cutting". I do it also...Just enough pain and a little bit of blood for the emotional release.

Good luck and take care of you!
