in adition to the main cutting, and making my feet bleed.

You are not alone. I do the same thing, not sure about the pleasure in doing this for me though, i just know I feel somewhat of a relief. Kinda see it sometimes as wearing the pain on the outside. Not sure if u have some of the same feelings with this.

Take care of yourself hon, and please feel free to PM me anytime.

hugs,
Jen

for me the cutting on the face is a relief because it makes me feel safe.

i'm strange.... but that's how it is

I've wanted to cut at my neck for a while now, but I've always had this want to cut at my face.

I won't though, because I regret it enough cutting at my body I can at least hide away.

You're not alone on this one. I've done it, but years ago. I'm not exactly sure on why I did, though.

Before I even opened this tread, just say the title " am i the only one that does this?" I actually said out loud "NO!" didn't know what you had written, but knew you weren't alone, and your not.

I have a scar on my forehead that I did myself.

The face is very sensitive - a lot of the skin in this area is thin and with lots of nerve endings so its no surprise that you've taken to self harming here. Of course with cutting on the face its harder to conceal and might cause you embarrassment if others see it. If you have a T i suggest you raise this with them especially if its something thats only started recently. Keep us updated, hope you find peace. All the best.

You're not alone. I've done it in the past, although the reasons were different.

Feel free to pm if you want to talk
