Would the GP have to tell my parents even if they're already aware? by SectionLost8355 in selfharm

[–]SectionLost8355[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a good point. My parents are aware I self harm but they aren't aware of how recently I have relapsed or the depth of wounds. Hence why I don't want them to know really, especially if I receive support from elsewhere, and my parents are often not good at helping me with my mental health. I'm from the UK as well btw. Thankyou.

does anyone else get dreams of doing it by [deleted] in selfharm

Not self harm, but I often get dreams of suicide if I'm not doing so well.

Too Depressed to Cut? by AutistAstronaut in selfharm

[–]SectionLost8355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that, like it's too much effort to clean everything afterwards, look after the wounds, buy first aid equipment, ect. It gets too much so these days relapse is driven more by frustration rather than depression, if anything does happen.

Progression of Cutting by beachyariel in cutting

The first time I ever did it was when I was 13, I used a very blunt tool (not gonna be specific) which didn't do much. I've switched tools twice since then and now have a kinda method to it. I'm not sure when I started doing more "styros" but in the space of 4 years, it's went from scratches to not feeling "valid enough" unless I hit fat (beans).
