how often

i have a question how often do you have to self-harm. I only self-injur when things get to much so i try and not overwhelm myself, its been 6 months since i have injured but i can't say that i don't think about it. i have tried to do everything not to get in it to deep, i dont self harm to much because it feels to good when i do it that it scares me, so i would only do it when i felt like i was going to die from the pain if I didnt, i like to hit as it doesnt leave marks like my cutting and burning did.

I SI nearly every day. I do it coz i feel empty or lost or dissapointed with myself. SOmetimes other people trigger it by saying something hurtful or if people put pressure on me and i cant cope.

I go through cycles, sometimes it's daily sometimes I can go weeks. Just now it's been a week since I cut myself but I have been feeling like doing it the past few days

i think it just depends on ur personnal cirumstances at the time, if u feel overwhelmed quicker than others then i suppose that u would si more frequently.

I hope that you are ok, I am around if you need anything!

I used to to punch my leg as mad as that sounds like every other day lol. I cut when things got really bad and then it was every week and then I tried to commit suicide. So yeah circumstantial really.

well ihavent been doing it for long and the rate i do it changes alot, but now its once evrey 2 days or more, to be honest i get tempted just looking at a knife or some scissors which kind of scares me :/, and just like you it sometmes feels good not always, but about half the time i genuinally enjoy self harming.

    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...
