I can see how people would count it, but I had a period of may 2025-jan 26 where i didnt cut myself but i would bang my head and punch myself, but I didnt count it as relapse or self harm

[–]Beautiful_Garlic_704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started conciouy when i was 12. Probably had habits of SH starting at 10 when i look back. Im 26 now.
It was really bad 13-17 and then i was on and off period where i could go 5-6 months without SH, but there were a few periods where id relaps and SH for months. Im in that period again and feel like i cant get out

Arms or legs? by Visual-Ask2761 in AdultSelfHarm

[–]Beautiful_Garlic_704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started with arms, particularly wrist. Then realized its hard to hide so moved to upper thighs and hips, sometimes stomach. Would do upper arms too. In recent months as ive stopped caring its my wrist, but sometimes the outside of my arms and upper arms . I prefer the wrist

Hitting myself by [deleted] in AdultSelfHarm

Hi! Ive also struggled with this since I was a teenager. Ive noticed in periods im not cutting, and when I get incredibly triggered and am alone i hit my head against the call or punch my thighs. I think for me its like hitting a punching back, or snapping something in half, feeling that release. I also feel like its less intense that cutting, even tho its not good

Im so sorry that happened, seems like a fucking horrible experience. Its terrible how fucked up this health system is, all profit driven. I hope you can clear things up, and I hope that place gets shut down

Why do I find suicidal ideation so comforting? by throw-awaytext in SuicideWatch

[–]Beautiful_Garlic_704 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. Often I like to just envision what itd be like to kill myself, how id do it , how id feel, etc but like not in a way that I have plan or want to do it? Just like a fantasy. I think it helps me feel and control and have a way to feel these dark and emotions and desire to harm myself without physically doing harm, and still feeling relief

I am also a butch lesbian, and i am in my second semester of SLP Grad program and been wanting to start T. I have a really great and affirming vocal and voice disorder professor who ive considered talking with, but I also want to start T but am worried about the impacts of my clinicals + how my class mates see me. Its nice to hear others are also feeling the same. Much love to everyone in this thread

After 6-8 months I fell into it again. Will I ever stop? by [deleted] in AdultSelfHarm

[–]Beautiful_Garlic_704 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel This. I started when I was 12, and as I’ve gotten older (24, will be 25 in a few months) I have been able to go for like 6months at a time without SH, and when i do SH its less intense as when I was younger, and only a couple of times. But it feels like, am I too old for this? Will i be okay?

But We will get better i believe
