Other means of self harm( that are still painful)

[mranderson]

I was just wondering, instead of cuting would you say that other ways you inflict pain on yourself are self harm? like ive prob punched 5 walls today, is that considered a form of self harm? I no cutting isnt for everyone , so (just out of curiosity) for the people who do inflict self harm, do you inflict pain in different ways then cutting??

I used to scratch my arms until they hurt and were all red.
I also used to rub my skin with a mechanical pencil until it burned.
I also used to bang my head on a wall until I was dizzy.

>.<

yeah... I usually hit myself in different parts, as well as scratch my arms until I peel small bits of skin off them and/or bleed a bit.

I wish I had the guts to pick up that knife and cut with it. I might one day go to far and end it all that way.

Burning.
Banging parts of your body (wrists, head) on walls.
Punching yourself.

I cant think of anymore atm, and I hope this is just out of curiousity.

Any thing you do that harms you, intentionally done to harm\cause pain to yourself is self harm.

I think it's wrong to ask this. This forum is not to share and find new methods to SH, but to help stop it. That's just my opinion.

Yes, I inflicted self harm in many different ways besides cutting. I have been self harming in other ways then cutting since at an extremely early age. To answer your question you are self harming. Punching a wall is purposely inflicting harm on oneself, and that is the definition of self harm.

This.

Anything which you do to yourself that causes harm or pain to your body is considered self harm.

Be it punching things, biting things, scratching, some even consider starving yourself as self harm.

I tend to nip, bite, scratch and punch if I can't cut.

And as concon said, I hope this is just curiousity.
It may not be leaving scars on your body, but each one is just as damaging.

As the others have said really, anything that you do that intenionaly hurts you
Dont really want to go into too much detail on this, but I hope your just being curious and not trying to get any idea, techniques

I have to agree with this.
