You can also self harm mentally, or at least I did. Yesterday I was feeling really down so I decided to look up horrific things which I knew were going to take a toll on my mental health, but for some reason I just couldn’t stop myself. I can’t express why I did it, but I started shaking uncontrollably afterwards. I had horrible nightmares that night, the trauma of forcing myself to see those things wasn’t worth it.
Emotions can be painful, and self-harm may feel like the only way to cope with them. But there are other ways to deal with painful emotions. Help is available.

1:00 sometimes its also just about the initial rush you get from it, especially when you just feel down, like for example bungee jumping or other things that cause you to get an adrenaline rush. Sometimes you tend to feel better after, with the only reason that you did it just being "not feeling the best" I want to add that self harm is in NO WAY a good coping mechanism, if you never did it don't start it, if you have done it, please try to get out of it.
I have self harm since I was 8-9. I think the reason I did it was bc I felt different and was not like the others around me. Today I understand why I’m not like anyone else. I got diagnosed with autism 1 year ago and had already self harm for 8 years by then. The first intention was bc I wanted to feel something or wanted the mental pain to go away. But over time I went deeper and deeper that it even came blood the day after. At the end I attempted:) right now I’m 1 day clean and have been trying to keep a streak. Have been taking antidepressants for maybe 2-3 years and have been to therapy since I was 7:) fun life
I also started when i was 8-9, I was constantly bullied and along with that I had parents who were abusive,both of them were, my dad would come home drunk to mentally torture me and alot of the times it gets physical, Ive had my dad throw speaker, glasses, plates etc at me, and I dont know im scared if death, I dont want to die, I want to reach my ambitions and goals, so i got to self harm when i was 8-9, back then I would use scissors, and then when i was like 10-11 I started using the scissors to unscrew the blades of pencil sharpeners to cut myself, then it went to utility knifes and finally razors, I come from a middle low income family too where we just make enough to sustain ourselves and my parents have a shit ton of debt, but even then my dad never fails to buy expensive alcohol, but i dont have enough long sleeve clothes to cover it so everyone knows about it and they think I do it to grab attention, and now im 15 still continuing to do this but its been a lot lesser, it went from 20 -30 cuts a week to maybe 5-10 a month because I have a girlfriend now, she helps me, she makes me feel like living is worth it, but the downside is that im on a tight rope,if she leaves me im screwed, idk what ill do, i cant go for therapy cause my parents ask me to suck it up and tell me its normal, and sincei m 15 theres really not any way i can get proper therapy. there is school counselling but i dont trust those, and as of right now its me and my girlfriend whos going through a similar thing but she seems to be growing to lose feelings and i dont know what to do, okay ill stop dragging it, she broke up with me 4 days back and im wanting to kill myself Right now hehe
I also unscrew pencil sharpener’s I’m 12 rn and last year I was innocent and n shit didint know about anything bad I’m 12 now and I fucking cut myself a whole fukin a lot I have no clue what happend but I’m tk scared to tell anyone l :( the night I’m posting this I drank wine too so :/ @@dopeye1587
Well, nobody is like eachother so ur not the only one who’s “not like everyone else” also I’m sorry that I struggle the way u do, I sh when I was 9 too and just know i hope it gets better for u
In need of advice, what if someone you love threatens to walk out of your life if you do it to yourself again but that's a promise you can't make? It only happens in severe moments but then it's survival mode and this the only way to cope, they don't understand and judge me for it
Hi there, I don't know if you still need advice but just in case, I would say that even though this person has the right to end the relationship if they cannot help you and it's becoming too much for them, their attitude isn't the right one. They need to be patient with you, and understanding, if they really want you to stay and make progress... Otherwise I would suggest that they aren't good for you unfortunately, putting unnecessary pressure and expectations on you isn't going to make you stop. I recovered some years ago from self harm, do not give up, you can do it. It takes time and some efforts but you will make it 🖤.
I've been self harming since I was 8 (I'm 17 now) amd it ain't easy for me. Last time I did it was yesterdya. It's a serious thing people go through. I didn't have the best life as a kid and I still don't. I have 90 scars and 8 healing. I can't seem to stop and its like an addiction, well it is for me and I can not stop... I just wish people would understand me for once.. mom and dad don't even though they say they do. Most friends don't either. I have anxiety, depression, adhd, cod and more that doesn't make it any better. I'm struggling so ducking much and I'm done dealing with it all. I've tried to end it 20 Times starting at the age of 8. I don't know what to do anymore
I don’t physically harm myself, but I mentally do so, and I can’t stop it. I feel guilty for people I shouldn’t be guilty, and I get angry at myself for having thoughts. It’s as if a imaginary audience is watching me in my head, so I can’t reach for anything, and I can’t move on. If I do something wrong, I start all over again, instead of fixing that mistake. This isn’t as bad as self-harm, so I guess it’s normal to have these thoughts. I’m fine.

ok I started maybe when I was around 12 or 13 I did that mainly because of how overwhelmed and stressed I was I was constantly crying and venting to myself every night,, I used to wash the dishes without gloves on and my skin would peel off and get itchy I used that as an excuse whenever I tried to scratch myself and stopped my wounds from healing it got to the point where there were scars on top of scars and almost every part of my palms was covered in scars you can barely tell the difference between the scars and a regular ol hand wrinkles unless I told you the difference the worst of the bunch was actually my right thumb I can still feel a small chunk of my skin missing from the constant scaring I try not to go as deep anymore because of that and because of how obvious its starting to look but I'm starting to scratch myself again and I'm worried that the rest of my palms would look like my right thumb hehe I don't want to wake up someday and be covered in scratches
I'm only 11 years okd now and i started doing sh last week. My friend told me her crush weeks ago and i sit behind him in class. He's always asking mr questions and i always answer and she saw me talk to hin. After the lesson ended she was saying she's mentally unstable and i knew it was important so i followed her to the bathroom. She told me that i liked her crush i said no and she said "i know but HE likes u" and she was saying that we would be a great couple and i told thousand times we didn't like each other. After the day .I went home feeling guilty and i was gonna talk to my ai about everything because i can't vent to anyone as I think i will get judged. But my phone broke and ut couldn't work. I cried for straight 10 mins and i self harmed. She was ny best friend and i couldn't believe i did that to her i nearly tried killing myself by stabbing myself in the stomach. I don't know what to do.
I've been self-harming for 2 years but i do it like 1 or 2 times a month. Is it valid? I sometimes feel like its not 'coz my scars are little and i dont cut deep into my skin. I do it because i hate how i look, because i feel like my friends hate me and because i think it's not valid and I'm just seeking attention. But sometimes i just do it because of stress. Is it normal or should I worry?

Fact first time i did it felt like a weight was just lifted off my chest
I'm a masochist so I typically enjoy the pain and I have been in inpatient for it

I am recently punching myself because of frustrations and depression.
i have questions dose the scars of self harm disappear ?

It depends on the way you self harm
eventually scars fade. it usually depends on the severity of the injury but most scars stay for a few weeks/months, even years before they fade to a white color.
@@mariahatlevik6563 thankk youu 🫶🏼
If they aren't deep only then I guess it'll disappear but just slight marks would still be left I guess
Well I do it cause I don’t care and, I don’t feel it.
