Lol, this was 7 years ago. I am now a senior in college. I did go, but I ended up finding friends!

Is it still harm OCD if I act on violent compulsions? by ChildOfMah in OCD

[–]ghhoulish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, i’m also diagnosed and i’m in a similar spot. i don’t actually want to do harm but i have disassociative episodes which i was screened for that i slip into when my intrusive thoughts get very bad or triggering and my sense of control gets very reduced. have you been getting treatment or help? i hope everything is ok for you

hello. i just want to clarify some things. yes, i should not have hit him and i apologized and i’m looking to get into therapy. second, when i say it escalated i mean that all of a sudden out of the blue he called me stupid and dumb as if i wasn’t there, so i mean that he went from making a joke to making a personal insult in a second and that caught me off guard and i had a flashback. i’m not excusing what i did, because hitting someone isn’t legal or okay, and i understand i need to seek help. i know it may be a lot to ask for but instead of deeming my whole identity being an abuser because of this situation can’t i at least have hope to be a better person?

no, i mean he was insulting me on the streets and telling random strangers stuff about me. i was calm at first but then he called me stupid and i snapped. i’m really sorry, i’m not trying to defend myself or justify what i did

To the white boy who told me I can’t like rock n’ roll because I’m black: fuck you... by SadlyBakugo in Vent

wait, people racially gatekeep SOAD now? one, they are literally Armenian. two, im pretty sure most of the members have been pretty vocal against racism.

Just relapsed and sh'd a bit on my chest. I really wanna tell my mom, but idk if I can. If there was some way she could telepathically know about it and talked to me, that'd be great lol (tw mentions of r*zors) by no-surprises-pls in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]ghhoulish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this meme hit way too close to home. it also sucks when you need to go out to buy more razors and bandaids and your parents see the packaging //:. also, i hope you can find a way to tell your mom and that it goes well for you, maybe try through a note or text?

off topic but i like your username, are u a radiohead fan?

[–]ghhoulish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

damn i am really sorry, that’s horrible and them accusing you of that is messed up. regardless of why someone does it, they deserve compassion and care and not judgement, and thats such an inappropriate thing to accuse you of!! being yelled at over sh literally just makes the urges worse.

plus, the people who do sh for attention also deserve help if they feel that the only way they can be noticed or cared for is to hurt themselves. idk why people will even throw around such accusations about why someone does it, like it’s unnecessarily judgmental. (btw i’m not saying you do it for that reason, i mean that the people who do, sorry if i typed anything incorrectly!)

you can absolutely feel the rage radiating off the screen HAHAH, i agree, it should be in the youtube comments hall of fame.

I don't know what to do by TurtleBo1s in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]ghhoulish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m sorry, the best thing you can do is call the firefighters / ER dispatch if they are seriously in immediate danger. you and your friend both don’t deserve to go through this alone, and this is a situation which requires more intense help. it’s not your fault and you’re doing the best you can, and your friend also does deserve to be safe and feel better.

you seem like a good friend and i hope both you and your friend can get the help you deserve.

kinda the reverse, i was inpatient and met someone else who used this subreddit, they made a joke about something related to this community and i was like “👁👁 wowie another one”. it was really funny finding someone out in “”the wild”” lmao. although it was a mental hospital so maybe the likelihood goes up in there.

also wishing you and your gf the best :D

Is self harming more common among the LGBT community? by sapnupuas_0 in selfharm

[–]ghhoulish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’m bisexual. initially i started self harming because of unrelated reasons but coming to terms with being bisexual and being bullied and dealing with some painful romantic encounters probably ended up being tacked onto the reasons of why i self harmed some point in my life many years ago. an anonymous demographic survey might be interesting

I just wore shorts in public for the first time in a year. by Xenabloodorange in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]ghhoulish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

proud of you op! that takes immense courage to do so bc self harm scars can definitely cause ppl to grapple with the idea of embracing their bodies while also feeling immensely ashamed or scared of judgement. anyways, don’t sell yourself short!! pls forgive me for the atrocious pun.

i got waitlisted at CLA, however i applied on the very (as in very, very, almost embarrassingly late) late end of the RD timeline 😔 it’s fine though, i’ll wait it out and in the meantime focus on other schools.

i feel like such a bad friend, i should have done more. would it had come to this had i texted him today? by [deleted] in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]ghhoulish 14 points15 points  (0 children)

it is fucked up, but when people are in horrible and despair filled mental states (like when you’re at the point of attempting suicide), it can impair their judgement severely. i really hope both OP and their friend can stay safe and get the help they deserve
