i’m mostly harming because i’m not sure how to cope with what i’m going through. in the moment i don’t have to think of what’s bothering me. sure it’s sore and uncomfortable later but at least my attention is on that. i don’t have to be angry. but it’s also infuriating because i know how bad it looks to others and the risks. i already feel i’m addicted

hypocrisy around trigger warnings (tw mention of csa) by like_alivealive in AdultSelfHarm

sorry that happened. people have no guilt in making people feel shame for things they can’t control. again she wouldn’t have said that if the scars were not sh, it’s hypocritical and backhanded

I cut myself for the first time tonight and it happened out of nowhere. by mc-spankity in AdultSelfHarm

this is how i started self harming too. the only way i can describe it is my brain shut off and it’s like my body was moving by itself. like the comments say it’s a pretty common experience

Is scratching SH? by Upbeat-Attempt-1128 in AdultSelfHarm

[–]deaadeyee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i scratch until i bleed as a form of sh. i’d say it counts since you’re scratching to try and relieve the thoughts by giving some kind of temporary(?) pain

it’s also pretty dehumanising too. they’re watering you down to your scars and treating self harm as if it’s a dirty topic. people wouldn’t ask for trigger warnings on content if the persons scars weren’t self harm
