[youthebestboy]

It must be normal, i used to do it, but it hurt so i stopped
maybe wash ur hands with a smell u don like so u dont taste it, eh?

[Evrythng_im_not]

I've never heard of people doing that before. But there is a lot I haven't heard of.

[Hyper]

Heh no you are not the only one..

I do suggest you talk to someone, but from somewhere where your not tied to so to speak.. Like school or family.. SO talk to someone who couldn't ''damage'' your social life

An [ex] friend of mine used to bite his hands when he would get upset. I found it rather unusual, but it does happen to other people.

Biting your hands just happens to be another form of inflicting harm upon yourself. You could compare it to cutting without the abundance of bloody scars. Just as with cutting, it usually occurs when you feel regret for something.

I spoke to Josh about it multiple times, and even then I still find something like that hard to explain.

I would not say it is "normal" so to speak. It is a rare occurance, and you don't see people doing that every day, but there are troubled people out there who do things that you never thought anyone could possibly do to themselves...

[ShatteredWings]

thanks guys....ive gone over 2wks now...going for december, and itll proly hapen this time!

[mouze3]

well i used to bite my wrists! iv even done it a few times in class in front of my friends, even broke the skin a few times, also other kinds of self harm but that was it for like a week, so im at least 1 person that bites themselves like that

[ktkurbst0mp]

I used to do that when I got angry.
Eventually, it escalated to cutting myself.
So, I would try and stop.
It does release your anger, I know.
But it needs to stop.

[toyboxpsycho]

I've bit my arms. When I would find myself if a really hard situation where I couldn't cut myself...I would bite my arms. You're definitely not the only one. Hang in there.

[monkpart6]

Honestly i dont think its anything you should be worrying about. I used to do that all the time. Althought it wasnt inspired by anger, i think i just did it because i was a crazy little kid who needed ridalin lol....BUT! seriously now, if you are hurting yourself whilst biting your hand/wrist whereever your biting then you may want to seek profressional help. Hope everything goes well!

It really shouldn't matter whether most people do this, that or the other.

The only thing which would be a cause for concern is the reason you bite yourself. What typically makes you want to do this? Can you narrow it down to when you are feeling a particular way? Maybe upset, stressed, angry?

It is a recognised form of self harm and, as such, it is advisory to stop before it escalates to something which can have more damaging and harmful effects.

[BlueStar]

Your not a freak and your not the only one, so don't get too worried about it. *hug*

[Axellance]

its not that unusual,
i recomend you try to stop, any type of self harm can eventually lead to more harmful types so stop before it goes to far.

I agree. It would be best to seek some sort of help. It dosnt mean ur 'crazy'.. HEAPS of people hurt themselves for a number of reasons. But u do need to get to the bottom of why u feel u need to bite urself.

U never know, even talking about it might help ease the pressure.... rather than releasing ur pain on urself, talk about it, let it out that way.

Its good that u want to stop, but as u suspect, it may not last when u quit cold-turkey... u need to do something as an alternative to hurting urself.

best wishes
