1. Self Injury with eating disorders also engage in the act of selfinjury. Just like the eating disorders are used up feelings and emotions. Self-injury is probably the most widely misunderstood http://www.mirror-mirror.org/selfinj.htm

Many people with eating disorders also engage in the act of self-injury. Just like the eating disorders are used to help the individual cope, the act of injuring oneself is also used to help cope with, block out, and release built up feelings and emotions. Self-injury is probably the most widely misunderstood forms of self harm and there are many myths associated with it, which can make it difficult for people to reach out and ask for help. Self-injury (self-harm, self-mutilation) can be defined as the attempt to deliberately cause harm to one's own body and the injury is usually severe enough to cause tissue damage. This is not a conscious attempt at suicide, though some people may see it that way. It has been reported that many people who self-injure have a history of sexual or physical abuse, but that is not always the case. Some may come from broken homes, alcoholic homes, have emotionally absent parents, etc. There are many factors that could cause someone to self-injure as a way to cope. There are three types of self-injury. The rarest and most extreme form is Major self-mutilation. This form usually results in permanent disfigurement, i.e. castration or limb amputation. Another form is Stereo typic self-mutilation which usually consists of head banging, eyeball pressing and biting. The third and most common form is Superficial self-mutilation which usually involves cutting, burning, hair-pulling, bone breaking, hitting, interference with wound healing and basically any method used to harm oneself.

Self Injury Self mutilation also known as self-injury, skin cutting, parasuicide or 'trauma reenactment syndrome', has remained one of the most hidden aspects of many survivors' lives and one of the least understood effects of trauma. It may involve cutting, burning, bone breaking, hitting, head banging, hair pulling or any other temporary or permanent injury that causes pain or marking. Persons who exhibit this type of behavior may prefer the term 'sib', short for 'self injurious behavior'. A large percentage of child sexual abuse victims use this coping mechanism, however, not all persons who SI were abused. One of the most difficult aspects of SI to deal with is health professional's not understanding the underlying causes. You and I SI to help cope with pain that would otherwise be unbearable. Many, but not all, health professionals see SI as 'attention getting', but we don't SI to get attention. What to do? SI is usually a form of control. We do it do demonstrate, to ourselves, that we have control over ourselves. Sometimes the sight of our blood 'brings us back'. Sometimes we SI and need professional treatment (stitches, etc). Did you cut too deep? When that happens it's difficult to find someone who will treat the immediate injury without judging you. They shunt you off to the 'crazy section'. They think you are trying to kill yourself or are trying to 'get attention', and neither of these things could be further from the truth.

It is estimated that self- injurers represent nearly one percent of the population, with a higher proportion of females than males. The typical onset of self- harming acts is at puberty. The behaviors often last for five to ten years but can persist much longer without appropriate treatment.

Nearly fifty percent report physical and or sexual abuse during his or her child. Many report (as high as 90 %) that they were discouraged from expressing emotions, particularly, anger and sadness.

I feel empty. It's probably the Borderline Personality Disorder again, tied to the fact that tomorrow I have finals, and when finals are over I am out of high school....maybe. If I pass, which shouldn't be a problem. Argh...I feel empty, I hate feeling this way. Smoke a cigarette on an empty stomach and multiply it by fifteen and you will get to where I'm at. I feel lost, alone, empty....I can't even describe it. I know if I cut or burn I'll feel something, but it gets tiring, doing the same thing. If I drive fast, if I run around the block, I'll feel something, but I don't feel like moving. I feel nothing. I don't want to move. One time I was so suicidal, but I didn't feel like getting up, so I just stayed. Yeah. Good thing for me being lazy. But I've got to go to bed soon and since my mom and I share a room I'll just wait for her to go to bed so she won't walk in on me doing it.....it's bad enough that she knows, but for her to actually see me do it, I don't dislike her that much.

Why? ... to a friend advertisement Every night I burn Every night I call your name Every night I burn Every night I fall again Burn - The Cure If you Self Injure, you are not the only one! What is Self-Injury? Self Injury (SI) is a coping mechanism, just like smoking cigarettes, alcoholism, drug abuse, overeating, anorexia, bulimia, over-exercising, etc. "Self-injury is a self-preservation technique for many cutters; the self-mutilation relieves anxiety and/or depersonalization symptoms which could lead to psychosis or suicide if not alleviated. Self-harm can be focusing, calming. It can give a person a feeling of control over their lives and their bodies which they have experienced no other way. People trying to help cutters should not try to take this coping mechanism away from the cutters without helping them first come to terms with things that trigger incidents and learning new, healthier coping mechanisms with which to replace the old ones." "For many self-injurers, self-mutilation seems the only appropriate response to the state of the world and to how they're feeling about it and about themselves. Many self-injurers are extremely intelligent, sensitive, and creative people who have a hypersensitivity to the world around them."

WARNING... These Self Injury Pictures are extremely triggering and graphical in nature - many people will find them distressing and not helpful. If you are not sure how you will react to view the pictures - or feel they may lead to self harm or self mutilation then please do not view them. We are not a pro self harm website and will not encourage self mutilation or self harm at any time. So Why do you have these pictures on the Website? These images are not helpful to everyone - I know that - and it worries me - but many people also benefit greatly from having them. It brings it to reality - it 100% proves to them that they are not alone in what they do. It scares some people. Others often feel they are put off by these pictures - and this distracts them from harming themselves. Others like to know what other people in the community are going through - it brings them closer - they feel they can share their pain better when they can relate to what they are all doing... But as I said - this is not the case for everyone - I can do no more than provide these warnings - and RuinYourLife.com can take no responsibility for how you feel about them if you choose to ignore these warnings

Counselling Service SELF INJURY Most of us act at some time in a way that is harmful to our body whether it be by drinking, smoking or other excesses. This leaflet is about the need to inflict injury on oneself in a more deliberate way such as cutting, burning, stabbing, scratching, hair pulling and bruising. Such action is rarely an attempt at suicide or an expression of madness; however, it is a sign there are problems that need addressing. What makes someone want to hurt themselves? The origins of self-harm often lie in a deep feeling of being powerless, trapped, or without choice. This may come from unhappy experiences in the past or a traumatic event such as being attacked. Current events can reinforce old feelings of distress, particularly when life is very stressful, or a person feels isolated, lacking support or understanding, or is under constant criticism. Resorting to self injury is a way of both indicating that difficulties exist and is also an attempt to cope with the problems. Although harming oneself is not a constructive way of dealing with these difficulties, it may serve some of the following functions: to tell people something is wrong to legitimise feelings of pain to gain a sense of control to distract and bring a sense of relief to manage unacceptable feelings such as anger to punish oneself to protest to express shame and self hatred to overcome numbness and restore a capacity to feel to cleanse.
