A blog with photos and descriptions of my various methods of self-injury that may or may not include comments on therapy, trauma, PTSD, depression, etc. Basically, it's a place for me to chronicle what will HOPEFULLY be my journey OUT of the trap of hurting myself and INTO new habits of choosing better coping mechanisms.

Self-inflicted Cigarette burns to abdomen - Day 2
As the burns on my thighs began to heal, I found a new place to burn -- around my belly button. It was somewhat troublesome, as the bandages would rub on my pants and there is pretty much constant pain whenenever I have pants on because of the waistband rubbing on the burns.

Intentional Cigarette Burns on Stomach - Day 1
I guess I was a little more upset when I did this, because I held the cigarette in place longer and the burns were more severe. I chose the navel area because it wouldn't be readily visible and I knew it would be extremely sensitive and painful. I even extinguished several cigarettes in my belly button. Part of this was reliving a past trauma, in a way. That's a long story. Anyhow, this is how ugly it looked on day 1.
