I'll keep this short, SFW, and clean.
I have self harmed, usually in the form of cutting myself in various places that are easily concealed (legs, chest, sides, hips, thighs, things like that). The reason is usually for the brief, searing moment of clarity and calm it fels to feel the sting, burn, cut and drip of the wound over the roaring background of anxiety, self doubt and absolute, all consuming despair that comes with a heavy depressive episode.
Have you?
Why?
To what ends?
Do you currently? (Didn't for about a year, did 4 days ago, and about 30 minutes ago)
Edit: As a side note, what is your gender, sexual orientation, and your age, as it will be interesting to see the trend across ages and genders for this, as it seems to be stereotyped towards teenage girls.
I'm 22, male, bisexual
Do not answer this if you feel uncomfortable doing so
