| when I cut, I use my own hands, usually when i am frustrated or upset, i get this feeling like i just opened a window somwhere inside me. I dont like to use other objects because when i use my own nails i feel like i was in control and not getting help from anything else. Does anyone feel that way? just wondersing because all the posts ive read, ppl use objects like siccors or knives or razors.. | |

| I’ve used my nail once before, it was in a time of desperate need and there was no way I could use anything else. I did enjoy it, like you say. But, the thing is, it only bled a bit, at the time. It went all raw and got very tender and got infected. It only bled for me later, when the rawness went away and a scab came over it, which I of course picked to make it bleed. And blood is up there on the why I cut myself list. But, I now that I think about it, using my fingernails is most likely a better way to cut when I’m in a bad mood because I won’t be distracted by all the lovely blood. Only problem is, it takes forever to heal. | |

| Well, you got me curious. I just used my nail. I cut a small cut on my inner upper leg. It’s raw, just like I said before. Also, there are some juices coming out, which I don’t recall happening the last time. It hurts. Usually, with a blade, it hurts at the time then it stops hurting until the next day, when it really hurts. I made this cut about five minutes ago, and it is hurting me. | |

| i started to cut my self when i was 12. i would locked up my self in the closet and cutting my hands with knife or scissors. i thought it better be that way than to hurt others. the pain sorts of releasing my agony. | |

I used to let my nails grow extra long so that I could use them to cut myself. I found the pain more intense and more satisfying then using a blade or scissors. I have not cut myself in a long time but, I still find myself digging my nails in at times in order to deal with certain situations in my life. |

ewok, i do the same, to try to deal with situtations i use my nails, for some reason its better than using a blade or knife. i have veeerry short nails so it makes me want to scratch harder until i feel my nails in my skin. in public i usually make a fist until my hands are shaky. cutting inside my hands will be something new for me to try. easy to hide the scars. u dont usually walk around showing ppl the palm of ur hands heehee thanks for the idea dysphoria =) |
