Day 1: How long have you been self harming? Discuss why you started

I've only been cutting since November, but...I've been doing bad things to myself since I was like...9.

I started because I hated myself, and wanted to make myself hurt.

But I started cutting to see what it felt like. And it felt...almost refreshing.

It became addictive.

And soon, I was addicted. And I still am.
