Injury magnet

When you have an injury on your body and everything seems to be drawn to it like a magnet to make it hurt more.

self-injury

The act of deliberately inflicting pain upon ones self without means to commit suicide. This can be done in a variety of ways both conscious and sub conscious. Self - injury (or self harming as it is also known) is done mainly to relieve emotional pain, like to release a pressure building up inside a person, and they feel they can't communicate efficiently enough to relive the pressure and resort to harming themselves to relive it. It can also be done as a sub conscious or even conscious attempt at seeking attention. This may be because the sufferer feels lonely or depressed.
Self-injury may also be a result of a tension or stress building up on a person who may relieve this stress by biting nails or pulling hair etc. Small, everyday habits.
Self-harm is commonest in young teenage girls. There are MASSIVE amounts of peer pressure on these girls now from friends, family and the media obsession with 'perfect people' It is not just a problem with teenage girls however, it is found in teenage boys, adults and elderly. The national statistics are 1/10 people self harm at one point in their life. Self-harming can include:

-Cutting/ scratching (any part of the body)- scratching can be subconscious

-Burning (can be done with a flame or friction burn. For example of friction burn, rubbing oneself with a pencil rubber until a burn is made)

-Poisoning

-Biting (biting lips and fingernails can be subconscious but biting skin is more of a conscious decision)

-Pulling out hair (Trichotillomania) - this can be subconscious

-Exposing self to heat and cold extremes

-Even piercing oneself several times, for the pleasure of the pain, not for the beautification.

Self harming can be taken too far and if you self harm, its a good idea to keep a first aid box nearby, and keep the object you are using as clean as possible.
Self-harm can lead to loss of limbs etc due to gangrene and infection and accidental death. People who self harm are statistically also more likely to commit suicide.....

inundate

(verb) a word used in place of "overwhelm", with strong ties to water conditions.

Misused especially if you are some girl that wants to sound smarter than you actually are.

My phone was inundated with phone calls! (stupid girl)

Water from the bathtub overflows and inundates the bathroom floor. (correct usage)

self-injury

(see other self-injury definitions.) Commonly abbrieviated as SI. The term "cutter" is sometimes used to define a self-injurer, even though they may injure themselves in other ways. Please note that pulling out hair (Trichotillomania) is NOT self-injury. This is a disorder, common to OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). In addition, piercing yourself for the pleasure of pain is masochistic and is not usually connected to self-injury. Self-injury and masochism are different things.

Wendy claimed she scratched her arm on a rose bush, but I knew that she was a victim of self-injury.
