I was apparently bullied a lot when I was a kid..
It's affected almost every part of me... But I'm starting to link the bullying to my SI. Is this unheard of?

no, i was bullied and i started self harming a year after it stopped. I used to get all my anger out by shouting back (bad move - only made it worse) then a year after it stopped, i had no release so self harming because it and im still doing it now! i started in 2010 and bullying finished in september 2009 (end of yr 8) then begining of yr 10 i started SHing (sep 2010)

it isnt, infact that was why i started self harming. The bullying stopped in sep 2009 and i started self harming sep 2010. Whilst i was being bullied i fought back and shouted at them and this was my release then it stopped and self harm became a realease

I can definitely see a connection. You probably still have feelings about the bullying and these unresolved feelings are causing the SI urges?

I would say there could be a connection, My daughter was being bullied at school about 5 years ago (she has now left school) She self harmed because of bullying, I think you can take the anger out on yourself I did it too many years ago when I was at school through bullying. It really is not unheard of.

Just wondering.
I didn't remember being bullied, but it's starting to make sense... Thanks.

I an 13 now and I am not bullied anymore, but I was in elementary school and I think it has contributed to my depression, sensitivity and insecurity, all of which have probably led to SI, at least partly.
