Poll: Self harm (serious topic)

[Et3rnalLegend64]

When I'm absurdly frustrated with my parents mostly. That would account for 95% of it. Every once in a while we get in a big fight for some stupid reason and I just get sick of how illogical they are and how they lord their seniority over me rather than debate properly. I don't cut myself or anything. I just lay in my room and hit myself. Not like I can hit anyone else, right? I'm amazed that they actually seem to be throwing out less extreme BS lately.

I started self-harming from the age of 15 when I was going through an abusive relationship. It has taken a lot of therapy for me to stop myself from doing it when I'm depressed. It becomes a coping mechanism for everything, and then becomes an addiction. It was for me also a strange way for me to control everything. I was in control of the pain and I decided how I felt about it.

It's a tough battle to stop when you become so used to it. But now that I have, I wish that I had stopped sooner, so that I wouldn't have so many ugly scars.

if it was to specifically do that, then no.
