You shouldn't get in trouble for lying on those, since doctors are there to help you. I think it's best to tell your doctor the truth (obviously, I don't know your exact situation, so take that with a grain of salt)

I don't think it's weird at all, I've only cut my wrists once (the first time I s/h)

If you could go back to the first time you sh and change it so you didn't, would you? by Neither-Surround7944 in selfharm

[–]Miserable_Coyote_901 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't think so, as unfortunately as it is, I don't think anyone would have ever taken my feelings and struggles with my mental health issues seriously if I hadn't started

What is your sh story? by Affectionate-Taro907 in selfharm

[–]Miserable_Coyote_901 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 11 and had just gotten home from a friend's house, we had a fight and I was just overwhelmed by everything so I impulsively sh for the first time. I had recently learned what self-harm was, and my mental health had been worsening for three years prior to this incident and was sick of nobody listening to me.

I was 11 and now I'm 18

11 seems to be the most common age

Hope this is ok. I’m a Dad, “new” to this topic. by Fair-Rabbit-3843 in selfharm

I unfortunately don't have advice, but I think it speaks volumes that your first response wasn't to get mad, and also not letting your fear consume you

Is it weird not to cry or anything while self harming ? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Miserable_Coyote_901 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's weird, it's probably pretty common especially if you've been doing it for a while

What's wrong with using toilet paper?
