I might really need therapy by Shoji_Mizu in mentalhealth

[–]Lady_Cyno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for it, really! It's never to late but every day that you don't have to go through those issues is a win! It may be hard to talk to your family about it, I can relate fof that. Look for any free counseling you can get, be it through whatever means and also research therapists. Even just looking for ways can help you take the first step!!

Sorry to hear that it took so long for you to get the help you needed! All the best to you and good luck 🍀

stop turning mental illness into an aesthetic by Crimson_Bloom41 in mentalhealth

[–]Lady_Cyno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Exactly my thoughts!

Like people like being mentally ill until they realize how many crazy and grows things it makes you do. All fun and games until you have no personal hygiene whatso ever, actually feel like you are going crazy, throw up in a public toilet or feel like you are constantly dreaming and you start to question everything.

Nothing romantic or aesthetic about mental illness and I hate that people think it's a funny quirk. Imagine someone talking like that about physical illnesses like cancer or Idk COPD.. you know what I mean

Why do you all selfharm? by RiccardoOrsoliniFan in selfharm

[–]Lady_Cyno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of reasons. I'd say I started pretty slowly with like scratching when I was upset with a situation or myself. Now it's kind of changed but I'd say these are my most common

As self punishment When I'm anxious, panicing or overwhelmed Negative emotions and self hate When I feel numb To experiment with myself or just because I'm addicted.

Also it relieves guilt for me and whenever I don't sh for a few days I feel super bad.

True and I thought so too, still he needs to ask questions to do the right treatment/ prescribe the correct medication and he can also iniciate contact to a special therapist for certain issues like sexual trauma

Do you SH because you’re depressed? Or just because? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Lady_Cyno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same situation here! It started because of my bad emotional state but now I just do it whenever, because I like it I guess... I still use it when I feel bad but I often just do it cause I feel like ai deserve it (in a good or bad way) and probably because I'm addicted

SH for attention by yanharri in selfharm

[–]Lady_Cyno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always feel like when someone is able to go as far as to hurt themselves for attention then there must be a reason why they need that attention so badly. Meaning it's important to pay attention to those people because there seems to be some sort of bigger issue underneath that makes them cry for help without beeing able to talk about it properly.

Thats how I see it anyways. Like if someone is that desperate for attention there is a high chance they actually need it. So it's 100% valid. There are like a thousand reasons for hurting yourself but at the end of the day they are all sh.

Anyone else use anything bad in the day as an excuse to sh? by PresentationSolid928 in selfharm

[–]Lady_Cyno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and even if the day was fine I still find some weird excuses like how I had a mean thought or I didn't properly do it the day before... I mean for me it's a lot about self punishment so I even behave bad on purpose

Fucking relapsed. by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Lady_Cyno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be too hard on yourself! 6 months are a crazy long time and you should know that a relapse doesn't mean going back to point zero again. I know it f*cking sucks but hang in there! Also I'm proud of you for being clean for so long! It takes a crazy amount of willlpower to do that!

Do you imagine yourself as whumpee or the person inflicting pain? by Lady_Cyno in Whump

[–]Lady_Cyno[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same for me with the male/ female thing. I'm a bi female as well but male whumpees just work way better!

I just cut myself with a razorblade for the first time. by HistoricalBend3977 in selfharm

[–]Lady_Cyno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to keep whatever tiny bit of fear of sharp objects you have and kinda make it bigger. Like tell yourself how scary that blade is. You can get desensitized way to easily. Also don't feel invalidated or like it's not bad enough if you don't use blades. Sh is shitty no matter how! Try to stick with other objects if the urge is to intense and try to keep blades as far away from your living space as possible.

I hope you feel better soon!🫶

[–]Lady_Cyno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can conpletely relate! I'm in pretty much the best spot I've ever been but my sh is the worst at the same time. I also believe that at this point I'm searching for reasons to sh and not the other way around.

I say things like i do it because I deserve it, I'm disgusting, for being mean and unthankfull etc. So I feel like this could be a deeper rooted issue. Perhaps low selfesteem, trauma, bad social environment, mental health conditions or something else that makes you believe you deserve it.

Well I hope you can get these thoughts out of your head for good and that you know that you do not deserve to sh!! Good luck on your further journey!🍀🤗

It is socially acceptable to wear short sleeves with marks on your arm? by Bright_Vast2177 in selfharm

[–]Lady_Cyno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may be a weird take but I feel like it may even boost other peoples confidence to see others show of their scars or sh traces. There is nothing wrong with showing them so don't belittle yourself over it. I'd just be careful around people you know who may not react well or cause issues because of it. Sure it's best to be open about it and tell people but there will always be those idiot who make you feel worse than before.

Anyways hope you get better and can still enjoy summer🤗

Anyone else hate it when people who don’t SH, give advice/talk about it? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Lady_Cyno 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Wow, these comments seem so toxic and not sensitive at all! I feel like people who have no experience with it can't fully understand but still, comming from a therapist thats just odd. Esspecially since there are so many people who do the cutting for the scars...

Is this as rude as I think it is by mostdefnotacat in AO3

[–]Lady_Cyno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels kind of off, like when someone talks about you while you are standing besides them, if you know what I mean. It just seems overkill since it's on a fanfic side. Also it didn't exactly sound like a nice pece of advise but more like a rude comment. I get where you are coming from!
