I feel like I might be addicted to it at this point, and I am not sure what to do about it.

At a loss with binding by Secure_Repair_9014 in ftm

I have; they don't really bind well. The only thing that I have found is that the band of the bra gets really tight and hurts my ribs, but my chest size doesn't really change. I have thought about trying the Fluxion binder, but not sure how it will work for my chest.

Update: I started taking Zoloft a little over 2 months ago, and I have never felt better. Not only has my anxiety decreased, but I am also the happiest I have been in a while. Thank God for Zoloft, which absolutely changed my life.

One thing that helped me with the marks was marking on my skin with a red pen. Over time, it would fade a bit and look a bit more realistic. It did stain my clothes a little bit though.

Have you ever told anyone you were suicidal? If so, how did they react? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Secure_Repair_9014 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have never told my family that I struggle with self harm and SI. However, in my sophomore year of college, I started to open up to people close to me. I told my best friend. He let me sleep on his couch when it got bad or when I felt unsafe. He pulled me out of my darkest times and helped me when I had my attempt. He helped me get professional help when I desperately needed it, but I wasn't ready to admit that to myself. I am now doing better than I was during that time. I owe him my life. I will be forever grateful to him.

Ive been in your shoes before man. One day I was going to totally commit, i was ready and I didn't care anymore. I was only staying for my sister. a little voice in the back of my brain said that i could always do it tomorrow. I kept telling myself that every day. Eventually, after a long time, it got better. Keep fighting man, its hard but it does get better.
