I am self injuring about every day. I read into self injurious behavior, and I realize that it is something that I have been doing since I was about 5 years old. I notice certain things trigger the behavior, and other times I cannot figure out what triggered the behavior. Upon reading into the behavior, I realize that I have always done so. The manner in which I self injure has changed over the years, but I can not seem to stop. One theory I have as to why I self injure is power. My power has been taken from me, and I can not seem to get it back. I constantly relive the abuse in my thoughts and own actions. I think because I have self injured since I was so young it could be something else as well. I do not know what is wrong with me, but I need to find out so I can be treated. What possible things could be wrong with me to trigger such behavior? I know that with me being an adult a diagnosis could be difficult because of environmental and/or socialization throughout my life, but something I learned is that people behave in the manner in which they do for a reason, even if they do not know why they do it; there is always a reason. I am curious to know why I do it.
