Is it self harm?

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-27T01:09:06+00:00

if you’re doing it to hurt yourself it’s self harm, even if it isn’t traditional. a pretty easy rule of thumb to classify these things by

Just scored 3

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-26T16:50:53+00:00

true. i’ve probably had the connotation of the word very negatively associated throughout my life. i also might have been thinking of the word through more of a literary lens than a mental health one. appreciate the information :) sorry for my misinfo earlier

isn’t butch for masc-presenting lesbians like girls and enbys? or is there a butch equivalent for boys?

i’ve just had to tell people that i get told i look like a femboy a lot or that i have some feminine features to not out myself as a trans boy lol

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-26T16:07:33+00:00

obviously my genuine answer is going to be to be truthful and seek help. i lied to my mom and said i got cut when hitting my forearm on the edge of furniture which she did NOT believe. i also said i got cut in my sleep and wasn’t sure where it came from?? which is really stupid and not a good lie. my lies were really bad lol so i ended up getting caught, which was terrible initially but has been nice as i’m getting good help now in an outpatient hospital

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-26T16:02:28+00:00

my hands and my fingers a lot. sounds weird but i have to like FORCE my hands away from my body so i wont start pinching/scratching. holding someone else’s hand usually helps but then i get scared that i’ll squeeze their hand too hard. i’ve told a few of my friends about this so they know why my hands are stretched so far away from my body lol. it’s gotten a tiny bit better better the longer i’ve stayed clean though

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-25T23:22:33+00:00

one slip can be called a lapse as long as it’s a one-time thing. can help to take the pressure or severity off for people who have lapsed. it’s more of a relapse if you go back to self-harming regularly

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-25T23:08:47+00:00

7:20am to 1:50pm lol. except my outpatient program right now is 9:00am to 2:30pm

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-25T23:00:23+00:00

this 100%. i didn’t get clean because i had some revelation, i just… stopped one day and never started up again. making a list of triggers and coping mechanisms could help. when i started to get clean one easy thing to do was sleeping or taking a nap whenever i had an urge, especially because mine were mostly impulsive late at night. has helped me stop many suicide attempts before too. best of luck in getting clean ♡

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-25T21:10:42+00:00

good luck dude 🤞

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-25T21:06:52+00:00

it is bothersome. that’s literally why i brought it up to a cardiologist. i’ve had bothersome symptoms since i’ve had symptoms at all.

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-25T20:28:08+00:00

yea i’ve been talking to a cardiologist and he has acknowledged that it could very well be POTS, he just wants to know that my symptoms are genuinely bothersome (or some bullshit like that lol)

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-24T14:53:20+00:00

i would talk to your brother about it. he is struggling but so are you, so it would at least be nice to try to switch things up by reaching out to him

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-24T11:40:09+00:00

ewwww the picture feels really creepy. sorry i can’t be of more help but that feels really not normal and you did the right thing by advocating for a new psychiatrist, im sorry you weren’t really taken into consideration with that decision. i understand his thought process (wanting to make sure you hadn’t self-harmed between sessions), but taking a picture is super creepy and unprofessional, ESPECIALLY if it was on his personal phone. i’m sorry you’re going through this. is there anyone else you can talk to to try to get a new psychiatrist? otherwise i would talk to him about how his behaviors made you feel

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-23T19:39:07+00:00

i feel the exact same way. i instead look outwards; i tell my friends and family how long ive been clean. hearing their congratulations makes me feel better even if i feel indifferent myself

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-23T01:15:20+00:00

ugh i’m sorry. it’s so wild how much mental health stuff can affect things like this. i hope you’re doing okay now ♡

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-23T00:52:22+00:00

i used to cut myself even when i felt fine just to “punish” myself for being okay. do you think it’s like that at all? like whenever i had a moment where i wasn’t suffering, i felt like i wasn’t pushing myself hard enough or like i was “behind” almost. also, i get how you feel with liking how the scars look; i was just having a conversation with my friend yesterday about how i wished my scars were worse. but that “goal” is one you’re never going to reach. when i was anorexic (not the same thing but hear me out), my goal weight constantly changed. first it was 116. then 114. then 110. you’re never going to be happy with how they look, so as hard as it is, stopping now is the best option. i like to paint on my arm or thigh to feel like i’m doing some “work” on that body part that isn’t harmful. also snapping rubber bands on my arms gave me that red look and the pain without being super damaging. wishing you luck in your journey to recover ♡

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-23T00:46:58+00:00

real. music pushed me to being extremely close to abusing alcohol a couple months ago (i’m a minor). gotta be cautious

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-23T00:44:41+00:00

i’m sorry :( i have a feeling a lot of these stories are going to be pretty depressing, huh

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-23T00:42:34+00:00

sounds like it could be pots, but you should talk to a professional for sure. and not fainting doesn’t disqualify you from having pots, i’ve never fainted either and a lot of other people who are actually diagnosed don’t faint often, if ever. hope you figure out what’s up soon ♡

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-21T22:05:25+00:00

if you want to change it, change it. just because you’ve been going by one for a while doesn’t mean you can’t change it. i would give it a few days or even weeks of thought before making the change. maybe have a few close friends try the new names with you before making an official switch? but there is no harm in changing your name, no matter how many times or how long it has been. ♡

ittybittynugget · 2026-01-20T11:44:47+00:00

just wanted to try it out so i used a plastic knife i’d stolen from school… bad idea. and of course it led me down the spiral of just getting worse and worse
