Like, I remember having a piece of string around my neck I was maybe 7 or 8. I pulled it on purpose so I burned the skin on my neck with friction leaving a bleeding line around my neck. I also remember, wanting to strangle myself. I didnt know what suicide was at the time. I remember sitting on my bed, and the thought of death did cross my mind. Im just thinking of these things as usual now. I know I was a very very odd child beyond my years, I just wasnt very happy. Is it more common than I thought?
Why would a child do this?
I remember my dad starting to touch me years after that but Im thinking perhaps I have repressed memories or something?

We have alot of things to answer here. Do you know if there's anything you've done lately that have made those supposed memories to appear on your head? From medications, to recent experiences, drugs or anything you've watched in the last days?

Well I just started thinking alot about the past because I went to visit my parents over xmas my whole family had not been together in 10 years which mustve triggered something.
I keep rememmbering things now

I did self harming too but I remember it as it was yesterday. I was 7, to 10 years old. Really, I think alot of kids does that. Maybe it haves something to do with masochism.
About your dad touching you, if that really happened, that's a terrible thing. I'd recommend you not to see him too much, or maybe try to talk with him about that. We can't give all tha advices about that, but when you're SURE those memories are truth, you gotta get help. Just promise us you'll get help, alright? (:

it doesnt sound like you was exactly an *odd* child, but children are curious and dont know what there doing really, trying different things and that.

i find that sometimes if im really really busy or ocupied i dont have time to think and my mind wont think back to memories that happened, but that isnt very often that happens.
But everytime i see him, it hits me ten times worse than if im on my own or not in his presence. ive noticed that when i see him, i get so much worse every little memory comes flashing back and i cannot get rid of them.
Im sorry im not really much help as in a similar situation, you could seek counciling? if you arent already, or try to keep your mind busy with other things depends which route you want to go down. ideally counciling would be better use than pushing things away..xox

No. Not odd just in that way. in other ways too.

So I guess you guys are saying its normal for kids of that age to self harm?

well what is normal now a days. just stereotyping everything really.

I would like to think that no one self harms but some people do including me, but think how many of us do tell professionals about our self harm? and now think to how many children would tell someone, proberly the number of children would be less.
Its just how people learn to deal with feeling that they dont like or cannot express..
So really i cannot give you the answer..xox
