Is it considered self injury if I allow someone else to hurt me physically bad? I allowed it. What is the real danger of SI? Does this suppose to happen too? I stuff the feelings and emotions and pain so much that I sometimes burn myself and don't care. I've got bruises I don't know where I got them because I don't pay attention to getting hurt. The bad words and getting yelled at, I stuff it and kill the pain on the inside. I keep thinking about wanting to cut myself again since nobody cares. I only quit cutting because people at church just walked out on me and gave up on me. I'm one of those that nobody was trying to reach for Christ. But is it self injury when I allow someone to physically injure me and don't care that they are doing it. Does SI sometimes lead to forgetting to feel pain and not know where cuts, burns, and bruises came from or not paying attention to how hot pans are when I pick them up? Is SI considered cutters if they are seriously depressed too. I heard that a cutter can't be seriously depressed because then they aren't considered cutters. They are considered to have a mental illness instead. Because cutters only cut to relieve stress not be suicidal or show others their cuts.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I love you whether you self-injure or not.
I would say that allowing abuse could be considered SI.

I'm not sure about the questions....but cutting yourself is harming yourself. I used to be a cutter. Cutting helps take the attention away from the emotional pain that we are trying to get away from...I know how that is...it is more of a way to cope than it is of a cry for help...though I think it can be hope. It is a coping method, but it is not a good coping method. I have scars all over now, and though I don't cut anymore, at times I am tempted to. I would urge you to get counseling or to talk to someone that you trust about why you are cutting yourself. Why do you do this? What emotional pain are you trying to keep within yourself? If you ever need to talk...vent...send me a message....God Bless You Girl
