Has anyone ever self injured themselves to the point that they actually break bones?
About 12 days ago, i was in a terrible thought of mind and i got a kitchen knife and started to cut my forearms and wrists...that wasnt enough, so i then grabbed my friends pocket knife and cut even more on my arms and chest...when he saw what i was doing, he tackled me and wrestled me to the ground, forcing the pocket knife out of my hand...he had me a head-lock and my shoulder was hurting, but i knew if i moved it more in the other direction, that it would break...so that is exactly what i did...then i passed out from the pain..
I went to the ER 2 days later to find that i had dislocated my shoulder and fractured the bone...12 days later..today..it is still very painful; yet i've only cut myself once in 12 days...
this story is as fucked up as i am..i dont know what the point is

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...
