"There were times where I would break glass and basically gouge myself with it." Main articles page. Go here More Behavior Articles Taking it Personally Drop Till You Shop Self Injury I n my travels on the web and as a volunteer who answers emails for Mental Health Sanctuary, I have come across an increasing number of people, mostly women, who self-harm. It is estimated that up to 3 million Americans injure themselves, double 1997's figure. I believe it is the increased knowledge of mental disorders, including personality disorders, and their origins that have caused more people to come forward and seek help for their self-injurious behavior. Shelly, a young woman from Alabama, writes, "When I would cut, I would feel relieved, and when the blood was flowing it was like my pain was being released, it was like it was the way my body 'cried'. I often cut in situations that it would then be possible for me to get attention from others around me in. This I have come to know was my need to be nurtured. It was also about my need to control others and my environment when I was so out of control myself. I did not even know that what I was choosing to do in cutting was a) a choice and b) a result of my feeling vulnerable and out of control."

23. Self-Injury What Is SelfInjury or Self-Mutilation? self injury - Information and Resources Resources,ways to cope with urges, coping with flashbacks, myths and links. http://www.coolnurse.com/self-injury.htm

What Is Self-Injury or Self-Mutilation? Self-injury is not something people talk about very often, but for an estimated 2 to 3 million Americans it is a serious problem. The majority of people who self-injure are women between the ages of 13 and 30, but there are "cutters" of every age, gender, and economic group. People who "self-injure" are not usually suicidal . They do however, intentionally inflict injuries upon themselves, usually in response to stress or trauma, but not with the intention of killing themselves. Their injuries may vary from minor cuts that heal quickly to very serious wounds that leave permanent scars. This is also known as "Deliberate Self-Harm Syndrome". If you or someone you know self-injures, please get professional help right away! This is just an overview of a very complex myriad of syndromes. (See Recommended Reading) The late Princess Diana's word's shocked the world when she admitted in a television interview that she intentionally cut her arms and legs and had thrown herself down a flight of stairs on more than one occasion. FINALLY, self-injury the practice of deliberately cutting, scratching, burning, or otherwise injuring one's own body was about to come out of the closet. After that interview thousands of self-injury survivors called or wrote the media in response to that interview in just the United States alone.

Self Injury Home Bipolar Disorder News WebSite News Diagnosis ... Contact Us Self Injury (SI)...many are ashamed to talk about it, most feel guilt if they are doing it, several wonder about it, others can not begin to understand why or how someone would/could do this to themselves. Often this is called the "silent epidemic" as the person with SI tries to hide the injuries inflicted upon themselves. More than 1 percent of the population are said to be self injurers. The largest group are females between the ages of 15 and 25, however, 1 in every 3 self injurers are men. Countless people who are diagnosed with bipolar disorder are also self injurers. One important thing to understand about self injury, is that the person is usually NOT trying to commit suicide. Another is that the person does not need to be admonished or scorned...they get enough of this from themselves. They do need understanding and support from family, friends psychiatrists, and fellow SI sufferers. The best way to offer support is to read as much as you can about the topic. It is for this reason that we wanted to create a special links page. Listed below you will find ample web links and numerous books listed.

This site is based upon personal experience and should not be taken as medical advice. Greetings! I'm glad that you're here. You have happened upon my web site about bipolar affective disorder (a.k.a. manic depression). It is a disease that effects about 1% of the population (some books say up to 3%). My name is Kim, I am 27, and was diagnosed with manic depression in the fall of 1997. I am fortunate in that I have a husband who is incredibly supportive, but not all people with manic depression are so lucky. I know that many are entirely alone and have to do their best to cope with the disease by themselves. That is the reason I made Here There be Dragons. If you are by yourself, please know that you are not alone in dealing with the disease. You are one of millions of us. And even if you have support it's nice to find others who share similar experiences. I also hope that those of you who have a loved one with the disease will find my site useful in gaining more understanding of that special person in your life. If you have any questions or comments feel free to email me.

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."

Self-Injury: A Search For Understanding A friend confides in you that she deliberately cuts herself with a razor blade. What would your reaction be? Self-injury is little understood by most people. The idea of deliberately hurting yourself is seemingly incomprehensible, but for many of those who do exactly this, it is a survival tool, a coping mechanism that enables them to sustain their life through emotionally difficult times. For most of us, cutting or burning our own skin would be incredibly painful and almost impossible to carry out. For cutters, it is a strangely effective coping method for dealing with inner pain so overwhelming it must be brought to the surface (Strong 1998). What is Self-Injury? Definition Self-Injury, also commonly known as self-harm; self-mutilation; self-abuse; and self inflicted violence, is defined as the deliberate harming or alteration of one's body tissue without the conscious intent to commit suicide. Integral to this definition are several key concepts. First, self-injury is an act done to the self. Second, it is done by the self. Third, it must include some type of physical violence. Fourth, self-injury is not undertaken with the intent to kill oneself. And fifth, it is an intentional act. Types of Self-Injury Favazza (1996) separates self-mutilation into two major groups. The first being culturally sanctioned self-mutilation, which is subdivided into rituals and practices, and the second deviant self-mutilation, which is subdivided into major self-mutilation, stereotypical self-mutilation, and superficial or moderate self-mutilation. It is the second group, deviant self-mutilation, and more specifically the subdivision of superficial or moderate self-mutilation, that is the subject of this research.

39. Self-Injury Even though cutting or other serious bodily damage may result, selfinjury is not suicidal behavior. Online resources for self injury. http://www.helpguide.org/mental/self_injury.htm

ON THIS PAGE: Online Resources Related Topics There is a high incidence of self-injurious behavior in people with eating disorders, as well as those with a history of abuse (particularly sexual) and other traumatic conditions. Self-injury (SI) is defined as any intentional injury to one's own body. It usually either leaves marks or causes tissue damage. Even though cutting or other serious bodily damage may result, self injury is not suicidal behavior. Although the person may not recognize the connection, SI usually occurs when facing what seems like overwhelming or distressing feelings. It is hard for most people to understand why someone would want to cut him/herself (the largest number of self injurers are female); however, this behavior does serve a purpose for the individual. It may temporarily relieve some pressure or anxiety, provide a sense of being alive – feeling some thing – or serve as a way to express some feeling that may not even be recognized. Self-injury generally happens in people who have difficulty expressing emotions and did not learn to cope with feelings, especially anger, while growing up. One danger connected with self-injury is that it tends to become an addictive behavior, a habit that is difficult to break even when the individual thinks she might want to stop.
