Self harm without physical signs?

[Sslsh]

How do you guys self harm without leaving physical signs? I sometimes punch at the wall really hard, or starve myself for days (eating like half a meal a day), or barely drink water for days which causes painful ulcers in the mouth, or listen to extremely loud music causing raging tinnitus for days. I can't cut because i am afraid of getting caught/

When I burn my neck I just wear a hoodie covering the neck. I don't wear skimpy clothes.

I just compare myself to other people of my age with happy families, more money, a healthy life and so on and I just feel like shit.
Mental harm really hurts and makes your depression hellish.
All in all, it's a way not to have any signs of physical damage at all.

For me going on Tinder is an act of self-harm.

That's what I meant!
Mental damage to our self-esteem is too painful!

I used to over exercise myself to exhaustion to punish myself.

Being a warehouseman helps with keeping those totally unintentionally made bruises and cuts explainable. Its a really "nice" perk.

Sometimes I start hyperventilating on purpose to pass out quickly. As far as I know it's safe, but head aches a lot afterwards.

how do you do it?

 

[Cockney_Rebel]

I come off of my medication (as I am currently doing.)

The EUPD, OCD and tinnitus comes back, along with all of the withdrawal symptoms.

It's a bastard, and definitely self harming.

No one knows until I become really unwell.

how do you do it?

My best way to do this is to lay down (preferably on bed) to slow down the heart beat. Then start breathing as fast as you can, take deep breaths and breath out even faster. The point of hyperventilation is to have more O2 in body than CO2. I think that's all.

I doesn't work for me but you can hold on an ice cube in your hand til the end or use an elastic band on your wrist to hurt yourself.
I do scratch (not until bleeding) myself under hot water and the bruises stay only 3-4 days and you have literally nothing after.
I also use to eat one meal a day waiting at the maximum I can when i want to punish myself for being so fat.
Or just looking at myself, looking at people round me and saying that i am disgustingly fat and don't deserve to live.
Sometimes, I also slap myself in the face but it is rare.

 

[FuneralCry]

Just being alive is a form of self harm. I had never developed methods at all despite being depressed a lot of my life, my mind does it for me.

I hit myself with an empty bottle of alcohol in the head but I warn you that it's really painful.

I did once with a coffee bottle on my cheek. But my ex from this time was not feeling good about it when we were walking together in the street because Ihad a bruises next to my eyes and people might have interpreted it as if he was hitting me....
