While I've never really done self-harm on any large scale, (well, besides the eating disorder, but I think that was for other reasons), when I was in high school I did burn myself with a cigarette a couple of times. I never knew why I did it--always kind of thought that maybe I was just curious about how it would feel. I NEVER talked to anyone about it though; I have always been too embarassed, and since it was only a couple of times, I figured it wasn't a big deal or anything.

After reading the initial post as well as the replies, it makes me feel a bit more normal and that perhaps there was a reason that I did this, and I wasn't just being "stupid" or "crazy."
