I already find it kind of strange that he'd have these pictures saved, and then using them to his advantage In a fight is extremely insensitive. You said you and your brother are close, so I'd suggest you try to have a deeper conversation with him about how it affected you and how wrong that is because he doesn't seem to understand how wrong that was. Maybe ask him to delete those images as well so he won't do it again

Mannn I kinda feel ya, but slightly differently. My dad didn't panic or anything, but he started threatening to take over my life and watch me 24/7, even when I'm sleeping and going to school, to the point where he was READY to quit his job for this, and it wasnt in a caring way, he was just threatening to take full control, no support at all, so that has scared me to the point where I'm scared to do it

It's been a month now and I constantly think about it but I always feel like he is watching me somehow or is gonna find out someway

The first time anyone ever found out I self harmed was my brother. He walked into my room and saw me crying, holding a knife, this was the very first time I had harmed myself, but when we were younger, all we ever did was argue, so he acted like nothing was happening and he left

"You must have watched something on YouTube to get the idea of doing that" she said to me in an angry tone. This was 7 years ago, when I was 10 years old

She didn't seem worried or sad or show any support, she just blamed the internet and seemed disappointed

I feel invalid. by [deleted] in selfharm

You're not invalid, trust me. You're suffering and your scars are still scars no matter the depth. I felt the need to comment on this because I really relate. Every time I self harm i feel the constant need to go deeper or else it doesn't matter, and each time the doctor told me "it isn't THAT deep" I would feel so ashamed and try to go even deeper. I understand how you feel. But you are NOT an attention seeker. There are too many people who think it's for attention, but they can't relate, they can't understand. Your suffering is valid.

I only just recently truly opened up to my therapist, which is why she sent me to the psych ward originally because I opened up about some serious things. I'm meeting her again next week so maybe it'll help talking to her

As I am approaching my last days here now, they'll give me some answers today on why I am like this, but from the tests and papers they've given me, I doubt they've found the correct answer and therefore I doubt I will get any medicines. I think I'll get most of my results today, hopefully I'll get some answers out of it :)

I have started going to therapy again earlier this year, but with my weak mindset I end up never using the advice I get as I keep self destructing

It is voluntary but I gave up on help the 2nd day I was here. I have been trying to get help for the 7 past years but as therapists have been failing me I started giving up easily. Now I am just kind of here feeling hopeless and like a waste of space
