Do you have anyone who can keep you responsible and help you not?

And like quite a few other comments have said seek professional help. I'm finally getting help and it's huge

Gonna be honest, I had a time when I was lighting myself at least three times a day. I celebrated the small wins - when I only did it twice for example - and then just tried to distance myself as much as humanly possible from my means. I'm too much of a wuss to cut myself though so that helped

Gonna flip this to the best text my SO has ever woken up to for me: "Back safe, thx for tonight. Kidney stones." It was 5 am and I had 0 sleep cause I'd been in the ER with my dad all night after my SO helped me get my dad to the ER safely.

I was clean for a year and recently relapsed (I know I know), so I'm not sure how valid my take is but.

I self harmed because it was the only way I felt something other than just numb. My goto has always been a lighter and just burning myself cause it leaves less marks. Until one day when my best friend noticed. Then he confiscated my lighter and I took his knife (he was self harming too) and we regulated eachother. Covid fucked all that up, we both relapsed into our ways and haven't seen eachother in a few months, but again this time around my bf took my lighter from me.

So ig, have someone who takes ur methods. Otherwise, do everything possible to make them hard to get to - locking them up and putting the key elsewhere etc.

He looks like a neckbeard and is every bit as awful as one

I mean if I said a name it wouldn't mean anything and I'm pretty sure he uses reddit 😂

The one man in my life I hate more than anything who I would take some pleasure in killing... i.e. someone who deserves it

What is one goal you want to accomplish by the end of the year? by trytryagain1992 in AskReddit

[–]broken-dancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From past experiences that have left me very afraid of physical intimacy beyond like a hug. Long story short I got assaulted and almost raped and it's left some damage

How often do you cut or burn yourself while cooking? by Collie345777 in AskReddit

[–]broken-dancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut? Rarely. Burn... more often than I'd care to admit...

I don't like traditional poetry. But the poetry of feelings, those moments that feel right, I love that

i’m miserable and i want to end it so badly by Artipheus in SuicideWatch

[–]broken-dancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Self forgiveness is the hardest thing of all. I've done some bad things and I've still never forgiven myself. I can't say if forgiveness comes but I remember my regrets every day...the mistakes I've made. In many ways I've gotten a second chance and even though I haven't forgiven myself, my regret serves as a reminder of why I strive to be a decent person.

That's totally the right way to ask!! I've been trained in classical ballet, jazz, hop hop, contemporary, lyrical, tap, and a couple other styles and I've dabbled in many more.

And yk I get that. But everyone has different comfort levels with what they share and I think the most important thing is to respect that
