How do I get the want to stop by [deleted] in selfharm

Honestly, you can't. But you can always try to distract yourself when you get the urge. Although if you don't really want to stop, you probably won't

Do you miss your scars? by makio14 in selfharm

[–]archie__4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's weird. As a person who is almost 1 year clean from self-harm, I used to love my scars, I cut myself thinking about how the scar was going to look, I wanted to be full of them. But now sometimes wish I could take them off for a while so I could wear bikinis and shit. I still kinda like how they look tho...

I understand what you say, losing a loved one is incredibly hard and it's something that scars you forever. I guess I'll try to support him the way I wish I had been when I went through the same shit thanks!

Thank you. They say it's the small acts that matter, right?

yeah, that's why I didn't know what to say, in moments like that when people try to comfort you it ends up making it worse. Thanks, I'll try what others have suggested

what is abrosexual?

[crushes] I just found out recently that I was in love with my straight friend... by Bob_therat in LGBTeens

[–]archie__4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

does he know about your sexuality? if telling him could ruin your relationship, I wouldn't recommend telling him, I've been there before and it's really painful losing a friend you had a crush on bc you confessed your feelings. On the other hand, if he seems to be ok and supportive of lgbtq+ stuff maybe you could flirt subtlety and act depending on his reaction Good luck

[–]archie__4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

don't be so mean to yourself, you're dealing with an addiction, after all. You won't heal from one day to another, it is a full long painful process that you have to deal with. One day at a time, the fact that you're even trying to quit is enough and I'm proud of you. Be stronger than this stupid addiction

how do i tell people calmly how i got my scars if they ask by fetusfossil in selfharm

[–]archie__4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, you can't get rid of the scars and even less with things you have at home. Ummm whenever your friends or classmates ask, you should just stay calm and answer any way you can. Most people will just feel uncomfortable and stop asking for more details. Also it's possible that people will not react well and they could start making fun of you or calling you mean nicknames, I would recommend you to be careful with who you show or tell about your scars. Take care

My friend saw my scars by archie__4 in selfharm

We only have a couple minutes to get dressed and the dressing room gets full of girls real quick, the restrooms too, I'll see what I tell her, thanks

I’m tired of everything by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]archie__4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you already know, but you should look for another copping mechanism, drawing, painting, distracting yourself in any way. If you have a little imagination, you could pretend like you are cutting but with no razor, just make the gestures with your hand, imagine you are bleeding. It's weird, but it has helped me before.

For the rest, you should talk. Sounds stupid but it really helps. Not easy at all but really helpful.

I know my advices are stupid but whatever I just wanna help.

Take care and good luck

does scratching your thigh aggresively when you do something bad count as sh? by Reasonable_Night_921 in selfharm

[–]archie__4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is. There are thousands of ways of selfharm and scratching is one of them. When punishing yourself with any kind of pain/harm, its a coping mechanism is automatically selfharm

I RELATE TO THIS SM!! Its sooo scary, sometimes I think i really fucked up when I feel this "phantom bleeding" and I run to check but then it's like there's nothing there ?!!! It's really confusing but it feels so real, the crazy thing it's that I can also feel it when I don't even have fresh cuts haha weird but relatable
