Instead of cutting now, I put icy hot creme on my inner wrist. It burns, and it feels so good. Is it harmful at all? I dont do it often, just like once a month or when I need it.

Self harm is a way to not feel all the mental pain on the inside instead escape the mental pain and turn it into physical pain it is a way to cope with problems in life

Don't you think that if people could 'just stop' they would? Self harm is an addiction. Once you get into it, you get stuck in a vicious loop, there is no going out of it. I know that to the majority of people it might seem like "oh what's the use" but Self Harm is a coping mechanism. Of course it hurts. It's called self-harm. It's used when you only blame yourself, and suffer extreme depression. It's not just something you choose to do. It just happens.

How about you don't come here with stupid statements, if you don't know what it feels like, why comment on it. Of course it hurts, that's the whole point for some people. It depends on the person, yes, it hurts. No, it's not easy to just 'not' do it. It does feel good, and if you don't understand it, I advise you to read up on it.

You could always read this. (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=73510) It may help you.




OP, ice can really end up leaving you long term scars depending on how much you do it. If you do it in moderation, it won't be as bad as 'ordinary' self harm.

He said icy hot, as in the muscle relaxing crap, not ice.

OP: I would imagine it couldn't harm you really.

its just a form of release. Like the release some people get when exercising, playing music, etc. Yes its much more harmful, but like some have said, if they had the will to stop they would have already. I'm sure its much harder than anyone who doesnt have that problem can imagine.
