Question Have You Ever Been In An Accident Or Hurt Yourself?

[Ozzy47]

I have been run over when I was about 6 or 7 years old and I still remember it, I was taken to hospital, I can't remember how badly I was injured but I don't think it was that bad.
I also remember standing on a sewing needle when I was young too and it went right through my foot.
I also smashed my head through a window and needed stitches, I still have the scar on my forehead.

I took a bad fall in my living room a couple of years ago. I tripped and went flying head first into a curio cabinet. Thankfully my forehead hit the small wood strip, less than inch to the right or left and my face would have crashed through the glass. I had baseball sized lumps that sprung up immediately on my forehead, bicep and knee. Here's a pic of my arm, the bruise wrapped completely around it...

What do you mean by hurt yourself?

Anything really as long as it's not to graphic

I burn myself because I can't cope sometimes. But then when I have done it accidentally people don't believe me. I cry then.

Sorry to hear that
It is a form of self harm. I self harmed for years but I am glad to say that I haven't done so in about 5 years.

Do you have any coping strategies?

I fell backward on black ice on a parking lot. Had a cuncushion. 4 big nots on my head. I was lucky not to break anything. I noticed it did slow down my motor skills.

Big Hugs to all of you! I haven't had any major accidents. Fell, tripped, but nothing that warranted a hospital visit.
@Dome67 What issues do you need coping with? The more we talk about what's bothering us, the less control it has over us & the healthier we become. If you are not ready to open up, it's no problem. Just know this is a safe place!

I stepped on a nail that went right through my foot.

I got run over when I was about 8 and needed my right ankle rebuilding, has screws and plates in it to this day. Didnt walk for approaching 18 months.
