I burned myself tonight after writing a letter to my sister who sexually abused me when we were kids. I really wanted to swallow all my pills but instead self mutilation saved my life. Suicide prevention through self mutilation... Can anyone else relate to that? My SI isn't about suicide but it does sometimes help to prevent me from hurting myself to the extent of death.
But the smell of burning fleash and the popping sound when you press something so hot to your skin... I wish she could smell it. I'm sorry I'm venting more than I am asking for advice... Posted on 01/11/07, 02:01 am |

yea, alot of times si is a prevention of worse things. i get that ur burning isnt about killing your self. people that do si dont get that but i do so i do, its an alternative, a shitty one but its better then death, and the high from the pain and the smell and the sound and then the after effect(the scar, blister, ect) its amazing i get that. and dont ever apologize for venting, everyone has to vent if not theyd kill them selves, lol think about that : ) but about your sister. im very sorry that that happened to you, and i know youd love to burn her arm with a lighter, but you cant, and hurting your self isnt going to hurt her. i know its hard to accept that, becuase i dont even full accept that yet. but you will and so will i one day. but im proud of you for reaching out and asking for help, its amazing. keep writing, keep venting

Last night I cut myself because I was depressed about a miscarrage I had 3 years ago. I know what you mean it seems to take the pain away. And it feels good. I self mutilate all the time. I do hide it because people don't understand. Your in my thoughts

SI is actually a coping mechanism just like suicide. suicide is an extreme coping mechanism where there is an end. SI is about staying alive and feeling more.
