I remember when I was maybe six or seven trying to hurt myself in all kinds of ways. Started cutting at 19. Have not cut for over a year. I'm now 22. It's been a long road, but I no longer feel the need to punish myself.

i was 12 or 13 wen i started biting the inside of my mouth till it bled. Then around 14 i started scratching myself and at 16 i started to cut a first with knives then eventually razors im now 21 i cut my arms nd my thighs mostly my arms/wrists i still struggle everyday even when i go peroid without cutting i tend to become very "accident" prone when im not i will constintly be getting burned or cut or hurt in some other way its almost like i do it subconciuosly idk

I first did it when I was 28, two days after my baby daughter died. I could not sleep, I could not breathe. The heartache was so great I wanted relief, anything. I cut my arms, wrist, thighs and stomach. I didnt even feel it. I continued for a few years and do not do it as often now.

I was 13 started on my leg then feet and thighs

iThink i Self harmed all my life .
when i was about little i used to pull my hair and bang my head around till i felt better .
when i was 10 after my father beat me i scratched the front of my hands so badly they bled . im 14 started cutting a year ago and im turning 15 in 10 Days :/ crazy to think its taken up so much of my life , seams pretty sereal .
ifirst punched glass to blead , My knuckles . than my hands . than lower wrists soon enough my entire arms are covered in bloody scars . and since my school found out , i have to cut my thighs to avoid being sent to a clinic because " im a threat to myself " by my therapist -___-

Started when i was 12 with my wrists and at 14 when ppl started realizing it, i did it on my thighs. now i mostly still do it on my thighs. ocasionally on my wrists.

I started cutting at 15... I usually do it only on my wrists, but have done it on my thighs and stomach.

I cut for the first time a few days ago on my leg.. age 23. Wasn't a deep cut or anything serious though.

I started when I was 18-19 years old, on my upper arm, then I graduated to my wrists, then, when that got too much unwanted attention (I worked in the mental health field, didn't go over very well, as you can imagine), I started in on my thighs. Now, I alternate between my belly and my thighs. I still like my thighs the best, though.

I was 15 when I started hitting myself. I would bang my head against a wall and punch myself to leave large bruises. I started cutting when I was 16. Have tried to quit several times but each time I relapse. I am almost 20 now and seeing a therapist weekly.

I forgot to add...I used to cut my wrists but it became too much of a chore to make up lies about wearing long sleeves all the time. So now I cut my stomach and thighs. Its easier to hide. I have never had stitches due to self harm though. I am sure there is a few times I should have.
