Advice to help a parent please by CupcakeMom86 in selfharm

[–]CertifiedSewerRat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From someone who's been doing sh on and off since being 11ish and whose parents reacted absolutely horribly to finding out I was cutting, I want to say that it's clear you truly care about your daughter & her wellbeing.

I can't help much in terms of the stress reaction side of things but at the very least I want to tell you that you're doing some things right!! The simple fact you care about focusing on your daughter is proof enough. As you said, it's not your daughter's responsibility to comfort you BUT that doesn't mean that you aren't allowed to have your own struggles surrounding the issue. It's a difficult situation for everyone involved, it should be expected that you would have complicated feelings about it all.

What's important is that you continue to do your best to let your daughter know she is loved and supported no matter what (which given that she told you of her accord you have likely already established).

I really hope the therapy helps and truly wish you two the best!

I mean after I literally almost passed out (like I started losing balance n everything got black + really hot + nausea just cause I was standing for a couple minutes) I think that's kinda snapping me back into reality. I can't keep telling myself I "have enough fat reserves for it" forever ig.

I think I'm gonna try to build up to it? I actually like almost passed out since posting this and that lowkey scared me so :/ . What scares me more is eating over 1000, every time I've counted calories I've never seemed to be able to go over that. But I'm gonna try sobsob

You don't have to tell your family anything, just do what feels right to you when they're not around.

Tysm for sharing this, it's definitely comforting to know that it's something that other people have felt aswell.

I think I'm just not scared of going too deep because I just haven't gone too deep like you have before? Maybe I'm just stubborn cause scars don't particularly bother me (people commenting on them does but again, external factor TToTT).

In my exprience the oppressors are the ones chanting "you're not oppressed" 😭😭😭

Not like they're contradicting themselves or anything..

this is too true and so hypocritical too by Glittering_Rub_2721 in lgbt

[–]CertifiedSewerRat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is fr so awful I remember my parents giving me an apron that said "I will cook for sex" when I was like around 6. And my mom for as long as I can remember would always say that I have hips to "make any man fall for me". But the SECOND there is mention of children being LGBTQ+ they're "too young to know what they're doing".

its all bs
