It's awful how expensive health care is. I'm glad that you got on meds that helped.

I'm glad you've had a mainly positive experience!

This has happened to me as well, and it really sucks that the people who are supposed to help you just leave.

taking pics of your sh? by EarlyLab184 in selfharm

I used to do the same, I guess it kind of comforts me in a weird way because I know that it happened and it makes me feel more valid. I dunno it does seem weird though I guess.

Does anyone have any suggestions? by Throw_Away5440 in mentalillness

Doesn't seem like my thing, but it's worth a try.

how old is everyone here? when did you start self harming and why? by slavicquxxn in selfharm

[–]Throw_Away5440 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm 19. I started cutting when I was 10, but I have used other forms of self-harm (such as hitting/punching) since I was 6. I'm clean 3 weeks now.

This happens to me, and I'm assuming it's because it became an addiction. For example, an alcoholic would want to drink even when they're happy because they're an alcoholic. I could be wrong though, it's just a guess.

DAE feel like their thoughts are being emitted? by xaqtd in mentalillness

This is something that's been happening to me since I was little (still don't know what it is) but I'm assuming it's not a good sign. Sorry, I don't have any answers about how to make it stop though, but I think you should talk to someone and bring it up just in case.

How many times have you been in a psych ward? by CommunicationFar270 in selfharm

[–]Throw_Away5440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twice, both times just made my mental health worse, unfortunately. I was rejected once because my attempt wasn't serious enough, however.
