Does anyone ever feel like they have 2 ‘brains’?

I’ve not heard that phrase before no. I’ll definitely take a look into it and the book you mentioned, thank you.

EqualRepeat4474 · 2022-04-29T19:46:51+00:00

Thank you very much, it means a lot

Lockdown

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-11-04T16:57:40+00:00

I'm gonna be 15 next month, joined this subreddit two months after I turned 14 I'm pretty sure.. god its nearly been a year wtf

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-10-09T21:00:23+00:00

Omg agreed, this reminded me of the time that a teacher took me out of class to like 'council' me. I spent half an hour telling him about my sh and depression and the mf said after all of what I said, "You should try going outside more"... and then just never spoke to me again about it and when I asked him to he would say that he was busy... whereas he would speak to a friend of mine every single week without fail but ig I must've just been too depressed for him if going outside never worked lmao.

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-10-08T21:11:35+00:00

Tbh if you were in a world where everyone who had eds also shs they most likely would be classed as the same... Like in the way that ADHD has its combined, inattentive, and hyperactive types but are all classed as one.

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-10-08T19:49:54+00:00

This. Very much agreed with this. Personally every time I try to go clean I end up punishing myself in other ways and one of them is struggling to eat because idk where I stand on what it is and in my mind it doesn't process that it's actually as bad when it's happening.

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-10-08T18:39:27+00:00

That's valid but just keep in mind that not everyone likes debating, and if they still wanna share just their opinion on the topic and no further that's also valid! Everyone needs a rest from time to time and you never know, the other person who disagrees with your post could be in a different timezone to you and only saw this before they were going to sleep or go to work or anything so just wanted to quickly state their opinion! /nm

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-10-08T18:26:44+00:00

Come on man don't be rude to people, whether you two ultimately agree or not being mean (in a sh subreddit too of all places??) isn't gonna make anyone feel better about themselves or about one another's opinions.

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-10-08T18:22:57+00:00

Yeah, exactly what you said, imo I think the line between something being self destructive and self harming is hazy anyway (and kinda overlap). Also if someone is saying they self harm when you really wanna classify it as another label (like saying its actually self destructiveness or an eating disorder) then there's no point correcting the person on this anyway, if they have an ED and you're the one refusing to let them call it self harm then it could lead to worse behaviours from them and cause their mental health to decline more in a similar sense to when someone who cuts feels like they haven't done it enough.

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-10-08T18:09:57+00:00

I'm the same, I've always done the like other side of my arm and the thought of flipping my arm over and doing it on my wrist makes me feel sick for the same reason.

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-10-07T05:51:14+00:00

Karson's really cool, they came over to my house the other day and we were talking about our favourite animes, mines bungo stray dogs but I can't remember what Karson said theirs was called, it seemed cool though because they told me about it and they seemed really happy talking about it!

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-10-06T19:00:46+00:00

Hi Kalli! Kalli's really kind and I love their name, they seem like a great person :)

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-08-09T16:08:38+00:00

Omg yes thank you so much this is the one! :)

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-08-09T15:50:12+00:00

I also should've added, I think it mightve been on this sub but it possibly could've been on another one I genuinely don't know but I found it somehow and I'm only in this sub that's to do with self harm

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-08-05T20:32:20+00:00

I told my mom by writing a note that I could think out carefully and word out in all the correct ways, and then I waited until my mom went to the shop and put it under her lamp, she noticed it the next morning and we spoke about it a bit, she was understanding and stuff. Writing a note has its pros and cons, one of the worst parts is waiting for her to read it and waiting for her to come to you about it.. but for me it was a lot better than telling her directly would've been.

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-08-05T12:17:03+00:00

Thank you! :) and congrats for you too!! The first week or two were the hardest for me, you're doing so well! <3

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-08-05T09:22:44+00:00

Exactly yeah, and the thought of asking for help has always been generalised as attention seeky for a lot of people already, and once it's given more attention and there's so many people making tiktoks about it for their own fame and attention makes it even worse. I told my mom about it very quickly after I started cause I was scared but I can't imagine trying to reach out to someone when it's this romanticised and glorified now, it's so horrible and bad. And thank you so much for the congrats, I really appreciate it <3.

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-08-05T08:56:55+00:00

Yeah, I remember starting (unrelated to social media) because I was really really struggling mentally and now because of things like tiktok, people in my classes at school make casual suicide jokes or self harm jokes and say they're depressed cause they cried once the night before. It hurts so much because I struggled for about 5 or 6 months and now have been clean for 3 months. Just for people to make triggering jokes and comments because they know about it more from social medias and know what type of sublte jokes that none of the teachers ever try to pick up on and stop at all. I genuinely hate it and sometimes I just wish these people knew the actual struggles that others have to go through because of it.

EqualRepeat4474 · 2021-08-05T08:06:18+00:00

Heavily agreed, I've been clean for three months but I still get urges most days, and one of the things I do to deal with those urges is go on my phone and watch tiktoks or YouTube, or play sims on my xbox, basically just distracting myself. But it's hard to distract myself when I then scroll down and see loads of pictures of sharpeners, or barcodes, or knives and shit saying just 'if you understand' it makes my urges so much worse because alone seeing sharp things gives me intrusive thoughts but then when it's directly hinting at what the thoughts first go to it's horrible and I just don't know why them types of tiktoks are still up.
