March, 1st, is the \u201cSelf-Injury Awareness Day\u201d. Let me share with you my story it.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

What is \u201cSelf-Injury\u201d?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Self-Injury is deliberately hurting yourself, either by burning or cutting yourself, or by engaging in fights. This is done to deal with psychological issues, e.g., pain, anger, frustration, loneliness, or disappointment.<\/p>\n

Self-Injury is mistakenly thought to be a way of drawing attention.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On the contrary, it merely reflects the storming pain inside us. In fact, self-injuries are always in hidden body spots, where they can be covered by clothing. They are not fatal as they are not suicide attempts!<\/p>\n

Since I became a teenager, I started injuring myself. I burned my skin, cut it, got bruises through fights with other people and by walking carelessly and hitting furniture. I also started smoking and stopped eating anything for long periods of time and had other eating disorders (some of which I still have).<\/p>\n

Like many others in our sick society, I was forbidden from expressing my pain or anger, which accumulated because the continuous disregard by my family, the bullying I suffered from, and the agony I had because of the domestic violence I was regularly subjected to, and above all, my continuous feeling of violation because of sexual abuse and circumcision (FGM).<\/strong><\/p>\n

I used to be totally numb, losing all sense on the outside, but inside me there was a flaming fire. I was trying to let this fire out through my cuts and burns. I was trying to turn the psychological pain into a physical pain in the form of blood and bruises instead of that invisible monster that keeps hurting me and devouring me slowly.<\/p>\n

I was afraid, hurt, angry, self-hating, and unable to recognize or express myself in any form. I was trapped in a tight box created by both my family and the society. I was forced to play roles that are simply not me, just to get acceptance.<\/p>\n

I was lonely and I learned that only I can help myself. So, I did my best to pull myself through teen. I am still suffering, though from some of its symptoms and fighting to recover by asserting my value and by remembering that I am doing this for myself. I am simply trying to use my body to reach my goals, instead of having it as my eternal retribution.<\/p>\n

Why am I telling this? Why do we remember these harsh experiences?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

At first, no one dared to tell such a \u201csecret\u201d. Princes Diana<\/span><\/strong> was the first one who shed light on it when she told us about her suffering. She smashed through fear.. through stereotypes that misidentified us. Today, follow her steps, hoping to survive.<\/p>\n

Reach for help.. Write about what you feel.. Express yourselves in every way possible to get the pain out of you.. Be well.. We see you.. We hear you.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Love \u2764<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
