i sometimes bite at the insides of me mouth... i do it because it's sweet and i'm bored, or hungry and can't eat yet... but i'm guessing that's not the answer you were looking for

ive a tatto and pierced ears - does that count?

Cut, burnt and hit my head on a wall. It was because at the time I was in a lot of emotional pain and was trying to distract from it with physical pain. I also pulled out my hair sometimes and it was when I felt overwhelmed from being pressured to do stuff I couldn't do or if somebody was really nasty.
-

-
i bang me head on stuff when i get really stressed

Yes, I used to cut myself. I haven't in about two years, but it turned into an addiction at the time and I'm still fighting off urges to cut daily. Honestly, I don't remember the event that began my cutting, but the best way I can describe it is a quote from girl, interrupted: "You hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside". The emotional pain is so much that you have to resort to simpler, fixable physical pain to be able to get through your daily life.

yes i scratch myself, cut myself and hit myself. if i didnt do thst then i would died from banging my head on the wall to many times. i do it cuz im stressed out all the time. i think im way to emotional and i take things to the heart very quickly. but i also dont like to talk to anyone about my feelings, i look at everyone as someone not to trust, so i dont cuz im usually right.

i scratch at my skin when i'm stressed, nervous, or bored. it' become a habit, sometimes i scratch until it bleeds. i saw a doc about it - she said perhaps that's just how i cope with the world because i am otherwise normal.

No..I have done things intentionally that resulted in mysef being hurt..but never hurt myself intentionally :)

i used to cut myself. i started because i hated my life so much that i really thought i wanted to die. but then it just became a habit. if i was really emotionally stressed, i would cut myself and it helped me feel better. it was easier to deal with a pain a could control rather than a pain i couldn't. i haven't cut in years now, but i still get the urge to on occasion. it's a stress reliever for me.

I punch myself and cut myself. Think I mentally abuse myself too.

I scratch the skin on my arm until it bleeds. I do it most nights when life just gets overwhelming. It helps when life is confusing and unpredictable, its the one thing that i feel i have control over. It has become more of a habbit now. Doing it really does distract me from the mental pain, however cliché it may sound.
