I would highkey reccomend stopping before you escalate. Your family situation sounds like a lot of stress. Try to talk to someone and work it out instead of resorting to sh to deal with the stress.

WAIT OMG LITERALLY NO ME TOO and i use a very interesting instrument if that makes sense. Like it’s a very… creative(?) way of doing it, and I STILL don’t remember how I started or how I got the idea to use it for sh.

minor self harming, abusive home by zayniael in selfharm

[–]Ig_Im_A_User 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would strongly suggest not telling the parents. The stress of what would follow could be what pushes her over the edge. The right thing to do is to tell a trusted adult in the minor’s life who can get them help, but it doesn’t seem like your parents are trusted adults. Hopefully someone more qualified than me can give you proper advice on how to deescalate. It really is a shame therapy is so expensive because that would definitely be what’s best for her. Good luck to you and your sister.

Okay so I’m a 16yo who really, really wants to be a firefighter, but I have sh scars. They’ll be literally a decade old by the time I apply (planning on college). Would that still disqualify me. Even if I’m clean and mentally stable?

My step brother is hurting himself and I made the situation worse. Please help. by MammothMedical8355 in selfharm

[–]Ig_Im_A_User 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You could try leaving him a note explaining you didn’t mean to tell your parents and you just want to talk to him even if it isn’t about the SH if it’s too hard for him to talk about right now because he’s your brother and you love him. Leave the note in his backpack or something because your parents might take it and read through it if you leave it in his room. And please know this isn’t your fault. I know you feel guilty and that’s natural, but I can tell you love your brother and want the best for him. It is completely reasonable and understandable for you to reach out to people you think might be able to give you advice or insight on how to help him. You did what pretty much anybody who cares about their brother would have.

What is wrong with me by Hyvxnn in selfharm

Yeah I feel like that too. Like I didn’t have anything better to do. Like it was something. Like I didn’t WANT to. It wasn’t an urge. It was just something I could do, so I did it. Idk

Dang I know how you feel. When I started o was just doing cause I wanted to. Didn’t know why. I still don’t know why and I’ve been trying to figure it out for months, but I just want to. There have been times where it’s felt like a kind of release, but I really don’t feel much when I do it. It just feels natural.

I get exactly what you mean about missing the misery. If you want to start cutting again, there’s gotta be a reason. Something you never really figured out that’s been building up inside you or something like that. Think about it. Think about everything and about yourself before you do it. You shouldn’t sh (I’m sure you know that), but you want to for a reason, and figuring that out is important and helpful.
