im new to this site. i came here because i've been hurting myself for awhile and i want to stop. i started cutting in 8th grade. im in 11th grade now. and recently its been getting worse. i dont know why i do it, maybe as a way to punish myself or just to let everything out. i dont know. but in the last few weeks ive done it more than i have in the last few years. and its starting to scare me. so i started reading up on it and it said that self injury isnt just cutting. and i realized that ever since i was younger, i would scratch myself or burn myself or hit things just to hurt myself. and now it seems like i have a big problem. i really want to stop this. please help =/
