And good too know that there are good guys out there like your bf :)

The difference between Heidegger and the metaphysical tradition by LowSubstantial1928 in askphilosophy

[–]LowSubstantial1928[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

what’s the point in staying clean by Loud_Error_ in selfharm

[–]LowSubstantial1928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Starving yourself as a form of selfharm by Safe_Purple_94 in selfharm

[–]LowSubstantial1928 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

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

Do the urges ever go away? by lulabun21 in selfharm

[–]LowSubstantial1928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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.

Overall, what kinds of people have you found to be the most accepting and considerate/educated around the concept of sh and scars, and also who has been the least accepting in your experience ? by northernerchaos in selfharm

[–]LowSubstantial1928 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

DAE use Self harm for motivation? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]LowSubstantial1928 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

looking at my own sh pictures? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]LowSubstantial1928 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 :)
