A forum for Members of Red Opium SI self help and support group. |
Hey everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to the group, just joined today, and I joined because I just realized that I am SI'ing. Last week I cut myself for the first time, or so I thought, but the more I thought about it, I realized that I've been doing it for years. See, I have several suicide attempts accounted to me, all with a cut wrist. Never bad enough to die, just enough to bleed. So, I guess, I've been cutting for years. I've read several of the posts on here in the last 30 minutes. I'm going to try that writing on myself thing to relieve stress. I always have a sharpie handy, and if this works for me, it will be great! I also pull my hair but I don't pull it out, I just grab a handful and pull until it hurts to relieve the stress. I saw my psychiatrist today and talked to him about this and he explained what some of you have been talking about it looks like for a while. You see, I also have OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE disorder. He said, pulling hair the way I do is SI'ing; however, if you pull one hair at a time, from any part of your body, it is OCD sypmtoms. That may explain your hair pulling questions.
