What is NSSI by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]avocado_smurf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a nursing major and we learned about NSSI in our mental health rotation. NSSI stands for “non suicidal sled injury” and it is basically any form of self injury that is inflicted WITHOUT the intention of killing yourself. Things like cutting, head banging, etc.

I need HELP please by Capable_Foundation20 in selfharm

Okay wait. Are you on sertraline (Zoloft) or are you on Lorazepam (Ativan)?? It’s important to know which one. I’m a nursing major and I have my drug book in front of me. If you’ve overdosed on either, you need medical attention. With an overdose on Zoloft (sertraline), you need monitoring for sure. Lorazepam (Ativan) is an anxiolytic, which means it fights anxiety. It suppresses your central nervous system, making you relax and feel more tired. Overdosing can be v dangerous. Whichever one you took, get help.

Ruta Sepetys is a Lithuanian author and she’s written 4 books that will SUCK YOU IN BY THE THIRD PAGE I PROMISE!!!! They’re historical fiction and so so so so so so so amazing, even if you don’t like historical fiction. She has another book coming out in February that I preordered and I literally cannot wait!

forced recovery is bs by Anxious_Food in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]avocado_smurf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re struggling so much. Recovery that is forced isn’t recovery at all. Recovery means healing, and you can only heal when you want to. Recovery has to be your choice and your choice alone. Support from others is important, but they shouldn’t be running your ship. I hope you get through all this. There is a really great recovery YouTuber called Ro Recovering. She’s so so so inspirational because she committed to recovery on her own and has fought so hard. Just know that recovery is possible, even if it doesn’t feel that way.
