burning myself??

[xgeekyrocksx]

i dont know why, and i havnt done it before... but i've been burning myself loads more recently. Like it started off once in a while but now its a routine just like cutting... its different and the pains different but i still do it.. urgh its annoying to have yet another thing to make excuses up for :mad: hmm but on the bright side im cutting less? :rolleyes:

Burning can be so much worse than cutting, because it scars will last longer, and they'll last a lot longer. Also, popping a blister makes it so much easier to get infected, possibly more likely than cutting.

It's not cutting, and you can't bleed to death by burning, no, so in a way it's good that you're not cutting. But burning is still self harm, and any form of self harm is bad. I'm going to say exactly the same thing to you as I would it you were cutting; get some help, talk to someone.

I know you probably hear this all the time, but talking really does help. It gets everything out of your system that you would normally get out by cutting or burning. It's so much healthier. I know it's hard to make that first step, but it is the hardest. If you can make it through that, you can get through anything else that recovery than throw at you.

You can PM me if you ever need to talk to someone, I'm always here for you hun :hug:

Its a good thing your not cutting as much :)
but not good your burning yourself instead, ok you
cant die from it but it scars pretty bad and do you want to make up more excuses for the scars?
I dont know wether you can get addicted or not but
why run the risk? i know what cutting can do to your life
so why let burning run your life too? please talk to someone and
get help for the burning. you can do yourself some serious damage!

Im here if you want to talk :)

Well, I burn too.
I burn by using the salt & ice method though.
I also cut.
Im not promoting you do it, because both of them are really bad to be doing.
But it is an addiction, its hard to stop.
So I advise you work on stopping, or getting help.
Im not one to give much advice because I still do it myself.

But if talking helps, you can always message me. :)

I do it too sometimes, but the scars last longer than for cutting
I guess it is good that your cutting less and as the other have said you cant die from it, but its still self harm and isnt any good for you.
Have you got anyone you an talk to about it, it really does make it easier if you have someone to talk to
Please try and stop before you come too addicted to it and make it part of a routine
You can PM me anytime if you want to talk

Don't go down the burning road. I went through a burning phase and I have some big nasty scars from it. And they are more likely to get infected, they're also harder to cover up and explain. :/
