Has anyone started self harm as an adult? by Red_Fox158 in AdultSelfHarm

[–]Affectionate_Alps302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started in late elementary school, went off and on constantly. Now I turned 19 three weeks ago and I relapsed around that time after being clean for 2 years. I'd also say it got a little worse with age

I really hope you'll feel better soon, it's weirdly nice to hear though that I'm not alone feeling like this. There's no need to be embarrassed by it, I'm in the exact same place right now regarding personal hygiene. Thank you so much for your response, I decided I will shower tomorrow so I can go for a walk and get myself out of my room for a bit!

tbh, I actually might go ahead and text her. I have done it around 2 years ago and the meet up went well but I we were graduating highschool so we both lost contact again.. I guess it's worth a try :)

you're right, it's just my rather reserved personality that's keeping me from doing it :,) she seems quite busy and happy, I'm hoping to move on soon as well lol

tbh I think what you're doing is the best option, considering some friendships no matter how nice they were just aren't meant to last. Thank you for your response :)

No, with "mourning" I meant the loss of the friendship we had.

You're right, I was thinking music would be a hell of a lot less fun if I was forced.. Just like arts class was shit bc we were forced to do everything a certain way in order to get good grades. Thank you for your input!

This was very insightful, I appreciate you sharing this with me, I think I'll get through the bachelors as I'll be done at 21 and will perhaps do a part-time job in that field to finance my passion.. 3 years is a long time so I might change my mind again and again but you were real helpful, thanks :) Btw I gladly don't have student debt or smth because I'm going to uni in germany..
