So I had something pretty devastating happen to me this weekend (read about it in the BPD forum), and I ended up going into a BPD rage. I didn't have a lighter to burn with or a blade to cut with so I ended up just punching myself as hard as I could in the same place over and over. Has anyone else resorted to this as a measure for SI?
I also am upset with the results. There are only tiny bruises thus far (boyfriend says it takes a while for them to set in), and I'm angry that I have nothing to look at. My cuts are manifestations of my physical pain and now there's nothing. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

I'm sorry that happened. I know it feels to want some proof that you did something and that there is a real issue. Have you tried writing on yourself with pen? I find that there can be some minor pain and the ink is left on the skin. Maybe that is a safer alternative to self harming. I hope you feel better soon.

Yes and it's not the same. I want my body to be as damaged as my mind, you know?

I am a huge fan of hitting (head banging)... I have also heard of hair pulling - but that does not do much for me.
The nice part of hitting (head banging/punching) to me is.... it is ALWAYS available. Unlike cutting where you need bandages or medical tape. And there are so many places that you can do it without taking any time (do not have to excuse yourself to the bathroom). Personally I take my knuckles and *knock* on my head all the time (like you are knocking on a hard wooden door). It does not do any "damage" and offers a quick sense of relief (also helps with re-focusing when you lose concentration). Be safe angel... be safe. |
