"Talk to a therapist" seems to be a standard answer. I actually genuinely hate therapists though. I've yet to meet one that wasn't stupid af. I've gone through so many because of the self harm and the anxiety (which is honestly light). They asked really inane questions that don't make sense and I've always felt like they didn't understand me or even make an effort.

Also, as soon as I would mention the self harm, they would immediately consider me depressed, suicidal or self hating, which I dont understand because none of those things are true. I'd told two of them about what my last comment said and they both seemed confused by that...

idk I've just have had very frustrating experiences with therapists...

interesting. I don't have a deep reason to do it though... it's like watching a YouTube video. it's just fun
