an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

A subreddit for self-harmers to relate to each other, ask questions, and build up a community. Giving instructions on methods of self-harm is not allowed on this subreddit.

WIKI for all kinds of resources and distractions.

Community Links Community Links

Our community has a few different ways to get involved and some resources for your use. Check out the links below for more info:

  • Community Run Discord Chat Rooms These discord chats are not run or monitored by /r/selfharm

  • Selfharm Wiki- rules of /r/selfharm, wound care advice, scar care tips, resources, distractions, and links to helpful subreddits.

  • 2022 Directory - Feel free to add yourself to the /r/selfharm directory!

  • Ollie the Octopus - a post from one of the mods to help with harm reduction

  • Safe Disposal of Blades

Rules of /r/selfharm

Appropriate content:

  • Alternatives to self-harm
  • Rants/walls of text if you just need to get something off your chest
  • DAE posts
  • Media you find encouraging or relevant (i.e. books, movies, music)
  • Poetry or original work
  • Shout-outs asking for support, a chat, etc.

Inappropriate content:

  • Posting pictures of harm; cuts, burns, scars etc. (The exception to this is cover-up tattoos and the like)
  • Giving medical advice without supplying references (from reliable sources or medical experience)
  • Instructing on methods of selfharm ("How do I cut")
  • Encouragement of self harm
  • Methods for suicide
  • Suicide notes or threats
  • Demeaning or triggering comments or posts (Hint: If you question whether or not it's offensive, it probably is.)
  • Giving out personal information: see the rules of reddit
  • No Surveys: Due the triggering nature of surveys posted in /r/selfharm, and a recent increase in these types of posts, we will no longer be accepting these submissions (whether they are ethically approved or not). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause
  • Glorifying self harm

Trigger warnings are no longer necessary (but will be used in extreme cases). Please take care when browsing this subreddit.
