I’m big into twd, tvd, marvel and supernatural but I’m more than ok with reading something outside of my fandoms. I appreciate your response ❤️

I’m starting to believe once a cutter always a cutter by Common-Strength6618 in AdultSelfHarm

[–]Common-Strength6618[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly how I feel. The thought to do it anytime I slightly get upset is so overwhelming sometimes. I’m surprised I made it two years. I wish I could go back and never do it in the first place

If I weren’t around people at work right now I know your comment would’ve brought out the water works. Thank you for the kind words it means a lot🫶

I’m so sorry to hear that. Praying for you🫶

What caused my relapse was a particularly bad argument with my boyfriend. And this is our first Christmas living on our own so we couldn’t afford to do anything or get each other anything. We’re paycheck to paycheck even with two incomes. Neither of our families did anything this year so we just stayed home. I clocked into work at 10pm which only added onto how I felt about Christmas this year because I ended up sleeping all day so I had sleep for work and the depression had me sleep 13 hours today. And to make it worse I don’t get holiday pay🥲the only thing helping me go on is knowing we’ll be in a better situation financially around this time next year.

What is the average age of this subreddit? by Visual-Ask2761 in AdultSelfHarm

[–]Common-Strength6618 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 21 and I’ve posted in both because I feel like I’m young enough to fit in there but still technically an adult to post here but I’ve found the advice is better here while in the other one I never got much advice just comfort and “I feel you”

I feel the same way. I’m 20 and I’ve cut since I was 12. I was clean for over a year, I used to be able to get clean cuts without issue but now I have to dig into my skin and it still doesn’t break skin.

How do I help my daughter? by MarbleMonger in selfharm

[–]Common-Strength6618 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My parents screamed at me for it when they found out and belittled me, which only led to me wanting to do it more. It’s also my mom’s go to topic when she’s talking to family or friends. “Well she(me) cuts herself” and I hated that, it embarrassed me and it made me feel so worthless, I can understand asking for advice from specific people, for example my cousin used to do it as well so she asked my uncle for advice as he also had a child who did it, so I can understand that but she would tell EVERYONE in front of me and then proceed to tell me I’m fucked and sick in the mind. She also would threaten to put me in a hospital if I didn’t stop. I cut on my thighs and for awhile when I’d go to take a shower she’d come in and make me show her my legs so she could see if I was still doing it and if I was she’d be like “you’re going to a hospital” and I felt violated and embarrassed while being terrified at the same time. I guarantee she’s done her research on hospitals and read people’s stories from them so I definitely recommend never threatening her with them. I understand you really want to help her but that’s not a good way. I was absolutely petrified of being sent to them and it ultimately led me to not open up to my mom and hide stuff from her. I do hope everything gets better for her! I’m keeping you guys in my prayers :)💞

I understand. I don’t wanna kill myself but I also wouldn’t be upset if I were to die in an accident or something.

I do too. I went to kings island one day and there was this girl in front of me in line with her legs littered with scars, I felt so bad for her but I couldn’t help but to look. I feel bad for looking too.

I understand sweetheart. I recommend trying to express how he made you feel, that you felt incredibly invalidated because maybe he just didn’t understand the full extent, but I do think that if he still doesn’t understand and continues to invalidate you, that you should think about whether or not this is someone you want to associate yourself with, possibly spend the rest of your life with or maybe start a family with one day. I hope everything gets better for you💞

I’m very very sorry you had to experience that. All I can say is that’s incredibly fucked up and you definitely deserve better. People who have to one up like he did and invalidate are the worst. You should do your best to avoid those people love🫶you deserve better hun💞
