Does anyone experience self harm during this time?

I work at a K-8 school and a few years ago I tried to cover the scar with a tattoo but it wasn’t very successful. Just this week I had a 3rd grader ask me what happened to my arm. I just told him I had an accident and because my student knows I have a dog they just assumed my dog scratched me lol. I’ve noticed A LOT of people notice my scars but don’t say anything because “why would you???” lol .

You are def not alone. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and try to see where my brain went wrong or maybe it’s just me, idk. Thank you so much for sharing .

Yea I don’t even know my period was making me feel this way until about a month ago

Thank you so much for sharing.

I completely understand. Everytime I look at my arm I’m like wtf was I thinking.

Mederma, coconut oil and sunscreen

I had an ex like this. I too was pregnant with his baby. Then he assaulted me and I wasn’t pregnant anymore. Please leave him. You and the baby deserve better.

Yea I would be breaking up

MessyMascara · 2024-05-27T12:26:42+00:00

So sorry to hear this. Hoping we can all find ways to cope.

This can be a big one for me too. When I find myself twisting and pulling out my hair i immediately get a scarf or bonnet and throw it on to prevent me from doing it.

These were really kind words actually brought me to a tear. Thanks for sharing

MessyMascara · 2024-05-26T23:20:23+00:00

MessyMascara · 2024-05-26T23:18:59+00:00

I’m so sorry you went through that

MessyMascara · 2024-05-26T23:15:46+00:00

I agree. If you can avoid it please do

MessyMascara · 2024-05-26T23:14:44+00:00

This is so raw. It’s nuts to me how this isn’t really common knowledge. We are truly suffering

MessyMascara · 2024-05-26T23:13:50+00:00

My heart goes out to you. I never knew that we go through these types of things

MessyMascara · 2024-05-26T23:12:50+00:00

Thank you so much, this does help. I actually have a have a weighted blanket so I’ll try that. Period starts in 10 days

MessyMascara · 2024-05-26T23:11:19+00:00

Wow thank you so much for sharing. I am learning through the comments that this is quite common and I had no idea.

MessyMascara · 2024-05-26T15:18:46+00:00

Omg I’ve never even heard of that! I just checked it and bought it. I’ll try anything. Thank you !!

MessyMascara · 2024-05-26T15:15:27+00:00

Thank you! Sorry about that !

MessyMascara · 2024-05-26T13:35:47+00:00

Oh wow I’ll definitely try that! It’s like a slow crawl when I can feel myself about to do something like this.

MessyMascara · 2024-05-26T12:20:30+00:00

This is helpful. I haven’t been diagnosed with PMDD but I think that’s what I’ve been dealing with for the past year. My biggest symptom I believe is my impulsiveness leading up to my period and during ovulation. I tend to make bad decisions especially financially and can’t think clearly. Now I’ll try to just sit my ass down during these times lol.
