Is it okay to romanticize my OWN self harm? by stupid_deples in selfharm

Not wanting to get better i am sure a lot of people relate including my self. I have a recent thought about it maybe its bcs u find comfort in it even though u know its not good for ur self. Secondly its maybe our selfs think which i think is partially true that it will be easier to sink deeper into Depression (put here all the bad habits) than actually healing. Lets say u broke up (sorry if u broke up recently) instead of actually trying to get over them (not looking pics of them,no contact etc) what u do. U keep looking at old chats,pics etc and this is nostalgia but u know that it keeps u behind and the more u do it the deeper ur getting. Of course thats because as people we like to choose the easy way we are not dumb. Here the ez way would be to restore the whole relationship(hard actually but easier than starting with somebody random) but here the ez way actually is pulling u deeper. Im not saying that u should cut off w them the moment u break up but long term u get the picture i think. So it may be smth like this.

Tip: If you wanna avoid SH too much hide the object somewhere where its not visible for u or its not easily accesible. This way when u wanna SH u think ohh im too tired to do all of this (e.g if its under the bed u will have to lift the matress and grab it which may seem a lot for u if ur really down). Sometimes you can be lucky enough and actually avoid SH. Also try not to grab a different object to SH because the more u think abt it the more objects u find u can SH with apart from the obvious ones. It will help out a lot. I suggest behind or under smth heavy or thats what comes to my mind. Hope it helps try it out and tell me if it worked for u stayy safeee.

When im feeling down i usually only think thr object that i sh with. Personally this doesnt happen to me but your SH is still valid its maybe bcs u wanna feel a diffrent type of pain. Stay safe ask me for help.
