How did everyone start self-injuring? Did it start off small, or what? Also, what does anyone's counselor/psychologist/etc say about it? Is it really a serious thing or not?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
The next day after yelling at me again, I found a wooden stick & hit my leg until it bruised. Then I realized I couldn't explain it to my parents how I got it, but it still distracted me.
Now 23 years later, I picked up a broken disposable razor in August and cut my arm after a fight with a friend.
I finally told my doctor Wednesday, she was surprising unfreaked about it. I am trying to get into therapy right now for this & a couple other issues.
Yes, this is very serious.

is life stressful right now? why do you do it?
i've always done it. for as long as i can remember. i know kids in 1st grade made fun of me for it.... and it started before that. i hardly do it anymore, but i still have a lot of trouble.
SI can be anything that you do to cause pain i think. It's been over 10 yrs since i've cut on purpose...but i bite my tongue and dig my nails into myself now =/
