What do you use?

[ShadowGirl]

I was just wondering what you guys use to self harm.

[CyanideGoodnight]

Generally, seweing needle. But then I swore I wouldn't use that anymore to my therapist, so a pocketknife or my nails, or my teeth if I'm desperate. Sometimes I use whatever I can find. Combs, sharp edges, I get my cat to attack me, ext.

[ShadowGirl]

I use a pocketknife too

[Skyhawk]

Steak knives / bread knives for cutting

Hammers or what ever else for the other stuff.

[Upintheair]

razor blade

[RakshaMalayka]

Razors, teeth, cigaretts, fist, scissors, screw drivers, or occasionally a tree to bang my head against.......

[Iris]

sometimes a knife. But usually I unscrew the blade on pencil sharpeners and use that.

[Wicked_Syn]

Weird, it seems like everyone is PROWDLY posting what they use.

[Upintheair]

we arent "proudly" posting. We are simply saying what we use because we can relate to the others

[HeartCoreHannah]

None of them are proudly posting what they use to self harm. They are saying what they use so they don't feel so alone and so they have someone they can relate to..

Anyways, I cut the razor blades out of shaving razors and use them. I also use lighters, the burners on the stove, rocks, and anything heavy that can cause bruises.

Calm down people. Play some violent video games. It help when you rip someone's arm off and beat them with it.

[HeartCoreHannah]

Actually violent video games don't help at all. My therapist recommended me to try playing a violent video game to try and get my anger out. I have been playing xbox for three years and when I do really bad in a game of COD or Halo I think I'm a failure and just feel worse about myself.

posting what you use could help someone get a new idea to help harm themselves. i'd think you'd want to find a relate without bringing someone new idea's on how to injure their bodies. that's just me though, maybe my thoughts on this are too logical.

[dontcare97]

a slightly dull razor for building projects.

judahtics - People can get worse ideas from using Google and such, also about every self harm charity website iv seen says how people self harm and then you can use a small bit of imagination to find something to achieve that. If someone really wants to find a new way to sh then they will find it whether or not it is posted here. But i could see this helping some people because you can then relate to others better etc.

I mainly use a pencil sharpener blade but have used a pocket knife as well.

[Jimmy Page]

Boiling water,matches,guitar strings,a knife i made at school,myself(beating,biting,scratching) and a cat once.

[Hopegirl]

Blade from a pencil sharpner...Swiss army knife...(and the saw :/ ) and also razor blades..or bite myself or dig my nails into myself..if i have nothing else or am around people..they dont notice..

[ShatteredWings]

Yeah, no. This thread is blatantly tipsharing.
