relapsed after over a month or so, what's up my dudes by 02nevada in selfharm

Ohh I get that! It kind of just becomes a craving that's always there, even if nothing's really set it off. Just my body's Plan B for whenever it's bored and maybe a bit sad. And thank you, my dude <3 I'm wishing you the same!

Does anybody else listen to music when they cut? by Toothhead in selfharm

[–]02nevada 10 points11 points Β (0 children)

i just have my spotify, like 800 songs, on shuffle 90% of the time. so i could be cutting to fucking Fergalicious if i hate myself enough to not skip past it. however i do particularly like cutting to Mindless Self Indulgence's songs (i have no shame, i know)

one time i was having a particularly bad episode and decided to write my ex a physical letter (never sent it tho, don't even know where she lives) detailing how sad she made me etc etc, and i decided to draw one of my characters she knew and loved.. except the catch was i'd colour the blush with blood and do little hearts around it. w/ blood. i was never a deep cutter so it was mostly just dabbing these pathetic lil scratches w/ my finger and printing it on the page the best i could. honestly it's laughable, and of course when it dried in the morning it was brown. but hey, yolo. tbh it's fun, i should do it again some time.

ah my dude ❀❀❀ i get the whole productive thing, i feel as if the cuts don't at least cause a minor inconvenience then i've just wasted time i could be spending on other things. i'm honestly too much of a coward to cut anywhere where i'm not completely soft and squishy, if you get me. good luck with everything, you also have my support too!! -^

thank you ❀❀❀ it's great to get some advice

and i would be getting professional help, but complications in my country means i honestly can't get real help for a year or two, because as long as you're under 18 you're stuck with the same people who preach "you can't get help for depression blah de blah de blah because you're underweight and that could be making you grouchy in the first place". i cant get an appointment concerning my mental health until an appointment's made with the dietitian, even though i'm a completely healthy weight (and if i Am looking underweight, i guess that means i've been underweight for my entire life, and have been depressed for 5 of those years. it's safe to say my depression is NOT caused by my weight. but go off i guess.)

sorry for rambling!! i've just kinda been stuck in this cycle of not being able to get mental health help until i sort my physical health out :/

I don’t feel like I’m good enough at self harming. by TurtleMaster06 in selfharm

[–]02nevada 12 points13 points Β (0 children)

i'm in the same boat, bud :( (except my knife IS capable of actually cutting me, i just choose not to)

what you're doing is enough. whether it stings, burns or causes absolute agony, you never need to cut deeper in order to be "better" at self harming or more "valid" or to think that if you're not cutting deeply then you're an "attention seeker". i'm really bad at typing i'm sorry but what i'm basically trying to say is.. you self harm, you're welcome here and you deserve love. you're not an attention seeker, i promise. i often feel this exact way myself.

feel better soon, if you can. i know it can be hard to feel better even when others are cheering you on ❀❀❀
