Is it normal to want to injure yourself? drastically..

Lately ive been wondering about what a stab wound would feel like. Ive even tried to find information on the web to make it look like an accident. My husband found my researches and hid all the knives. well i actually have found the sharpest knife we have. I just cant figure out how to do it. I dont want to kill myself. But i just wonder what it feels like. You see back when i was a teen i "accidently" stabbed a girl 8 times. i have had this curiousity ever since. yes i did get put in jail, but charges where later dropped. BC the girl attacked me with a knife, in which i took away from her and defended myself. So is it normal to have this thought about what it would feel like to stab yourself? btw if i was to do it which i doubt, i would only do like a small stab so no hospital trip.

    Sorry but i laughed so hard on the part where you said you stabbed someone accidentally 8 times. I don't think it was an accident. I think you were fully aware of what you were doing unless you are blind or have amnesia. You should talk to someone about this..

      Hey the judge accepted the excuse. thats all that mattered. But at that point in time it was either stab her or her stab me. they wasnt deep, she didnt even have to get but like 3 stitches total.
      I am just curious if it burns when you get cut or stabbed? Just how does it feel? I really dont want to cut myself to find out....iam a chicken. is it normal to have thoughts like that though? Oh and i do have bipolar disorder. But i have only injured myself one time. I burned my hand last Christmas by spilling hot water on my hand. IT HURT SO MUCH. Thats why i will not hurt myself on purpose (again?). i didnt get a scar thank goodness. But at the time i was wondering how it felt to spill hot water on the skin. I meant to just drop the hot water, but too much ended up spilling. I wont make that mistake again. So if there is anyone out there that has had this happen to me it would be much healthier for to hear it 2nd hand.

    Sometimes I want to cut myself wether it be with razors or with knives. Like sweetz, I accidentally laughed at that part too. Maybe, you want to know what it felt like for the girl...
