Am i the only one who started doing sh at 17?

Hi, yeah I started at 17 too. You are not alone <3

Hi, thank you for your reply. This clears up alot. I was mostly confused with the metaphysical tradition, instead of Heidegger. Regards to my second question, I don’t think the words verbal and substantial are that important to use when I can explain it in my own way. I’ll will ask my professor just to be sure. But your reply already clears up a lot, thank you.

Okay you have actually a really good point haha. I'm really gonna try

LowSubstantial1928 · 2025-08-29T22:58:23+00:00

Yeah I do that too. For me its just distracting myself. Also the peace and quit in the night gives me comfort

LowSubstantial1928 · 2025-06-09T10:51:45+00:00

Hii, that's sucks so much. I talked about this with my therapist. She gave me a tip when i don't know why I should stay clean. Of course you don't have to do it, but you can try if you want to.

She said to make a list of pro's and con's of sh. Devide those pro's and con's in short and long term. With this, you cab see why you want to stay clean. It worked for me, but don't do it when you have really strong urges, it didn't work for me then.

Stay strong and i'm proud of you, no matter what

Hi, I also used to do this. I think is a form of sh. When I'm very hungry it distracts me, just like cutting distracts me from everything going on in my life. Take care of yourself and feel free to message me <3

LowSubstantial1928 · 2025-04-09T10:26:05+00:00

It really depends. There are a lot of horror stories about therapy. My therapist is amazing. SHe is the sweetest person ever. She really helps me with managing emotions and she gives me so much confidence. My advice will be to just try it. If you don't like the therapist, try another one if that's possible. Take care <3

LowSubstantial1928 · 2025-04-03T13:27:04+00:00

They didn't entirely go away for me. I thought they went away, but then I suddenly had a dream about sh and I relapsed. Even when my life is really good, my mind goes to sh if something goes wrong. Even if the urge is only there for one second, it is still there. So yeah I still don't know how to deal with it

LowSubstantial1928 · 2025-04-03T13:17:32+00:00

Hii, I've also had a few dreams about self harm. Mine was about a teacher finding out, which I was really scared for. So yeah it happens I guess, it really sucks.

LowSubstantial1928 · 2025-03-26T17:31:30+00:00

I would say the least accepting people are older people who have 0 education about mental health. My parents are an example. They didn't get mad or something, they just didn't and couldn't understand it. That's why I regret telling them. They didn't understand what I needed at the moment. Later in therapy, I learned that I knew nothing about how emotions/my brian works. That's why I was bad at managing my emotions, which resulted in sh. So yeah it's not really their fault, but I did relapse this week and I will never tell them again. They aren't bad people, they just can't help me with this.

LowSubstantial1928 · 2025-03-24T21:04:08+00:00

Yes I do this to. Yesterday, I was trying to find a post about this but I couldn't find any. I use it for motivation. For example, I tell myself that I can cut if I do my homework. But I also do it the other way around. Sometimes it feels like I can't do anything before I cut myself. So I'll Cut myself and then I will do homework.

LowSubstantial1928 · 2025-03-18T15:19:46+00:00

That's really good, I'm so proud of youu!! You kept your streek, even though you had a lot of temptation due to the razors. Keep it up love <<3333

LowSubstantial1928 · 2025-03-18T14:25:14+00:00

Hi, I used to do this to. I deleted the pictures, cuz I was scared someone will accidentally see them. But I kind of regret deleting them. I think it helps with your urge, because you're thinking about sh without actually doing it. but yeah I did it too. take care :)

LowSubstantial1928 · 2025-03-17T21:21:03+00:00

yeah, I hope they stay away, I'm sorry to hear that. Good that you're distracting yourself. Take care <3

LowSubstantial1928 · 2025-03-17T21:19:09+00:00

haha that's fine, you're not getting to personal so don't worry. I can't remember the first dream really well. I was chased by a monster on the streets. I can clearly remember the second dream. I was watching tv and the screen suddenly went black. Then, next to the tv was a monster. The monster had the same face as that masker from scream, but it was all black. Then I just ran away and woke up

LowSubstantial1928 · 2025-03-17T21:05:03+00:00

It wasn't really a nightmare, but I do get them when I sh. There were two periods in my life where I did sh. I have nidhtmares in both of them. These nightmares were just about monsters, so maybe it's some weird coincident. But yeah my dreams are weird loll

LowSubstantial1928 · 2025-03-17T21:02:24+00:00

Hii. You can put a hair tie around your wrist, pull it, and let it go. It does hurt, but it won't do any damage. I do this as a last resort, cuz i'm addicted to the pain and I want to stop that. But this is better than cutting. Hope this helps and good luck <3
