| Posted By: Zoe Posted On: Oct 19, 2001 Views: 1056 | A Begginer I'd say that self harm is addictive. I have only been doing it for about 12 days but I cant see anyway of dealing with my feelings now that i have this to help me cope. If i dont cut my arm or thigh when i feel bad i'll probably take an overdose. |
| Posted By: Mary Posted On: Oct 14, 2001 Views: 1053 | cutting Its very addicting. To me its like breathing, if i stop then i'll die. I know that if i could just stop I would but the second things get bad the thought of not doing it just leaves my mind and i can't think of anything else. |
| Posted By: stephie Posted On: Oct 14, 2001 Views: 1054 | addictive It started out that I had no desire to stop...but now that I see the way my scars and wounds are affecting those I love, I wish to stop for them. I don't know if the reason that I can't stop is because it's addicting or because I wouldn't be stopping for me. Right now, this is the only way I find joy "If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad" BUt there are LOTS of moments throughout the day where it seems I will die if I do not scratch. So, I definetly think it could be addictive, I just don't know if I'm addicted. |

| Posted By: Posted On: Sep 12, 2001 Views: 1056 | Self-harm is not only a disease, but in my personal experience it is also a form of drug. it is very addictive and extremely hard to overcome. i urge all self-injurers to seek help in dealing with their problem.- ashli |

| Posted By: Posted On: Sep 8, 2001 Views: 1049 | Even when I don't need to s/harm. When I am calm and having an 'okay day'. I look at my scars and think come on then lets get it over with. So I s/h coz it's addictive, and gives me a kick. |

| Posted By: Posted On: Aug 6, 2001 Views: 1020 | I wrote a poem about addiction for an assignment and got an F because it was about self harm |
| Posted By: Posted On: Aug 2, 2001 Views: 998 | I think self-harm is addictive. When I self-harm, I welcome the brief relief the pain of the injuries I've inflicted on myself causes. Now however, that relief is shortlived and I self-harm more and let my wounds get infected. I hate myself. |
| Posted By: Posted On: Jul 28, 2001 Views: 994 | There is a definite element of addiction involved in self-harm, but I think the level of addiction depends on the individual and their reasons behind self injury. |
