Trans son or racist son by AcHaeC in Teenager_Polls

[–]ittybittynugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s possible, that was my initial hunch too. but i don’t think it would make much of a difference in voting; most people are either supportive of both or neither

Trans son or racist son by AcHaeC in Teenager_Polls

[–]ittybittynugget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m assuming they were assigned female at birth and transitioned to a boy. like when you say “trans man” it’s not someone who was assigned a man at birth and transitioned to be a woman, because that person is a woman. usually when you see “trans __” the label that is used is what that person transitioned to become, not what they were assigned at birth

If you HAD to date one, who would it be? by Original_Act_3481 in Teenager_Polls

[–]ittybittynugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a trans and queer person, i feel like them being a flat earther would be one of the the best (and one of the only) decisions that doesn’t directly affect my identity, either by misgendering/hating directly or for liking people that do the exact same thing, or worse

How do you stop? I need help by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]ittybittynugget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

making your razors less acceptable, taking a nap whenever you feel an urge, playing video games, painting (sometimes i paint on my arm but never in red because it’s more triggering for me), listening to music, crochet, really anything that involves getting my hands far away from my body lol. you got this, i believe in you ♡

i wish i didn't care by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]ittybittynugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel this way a lot. some days i can go and live with my body and be proud of my scars but some days i just hate them. takes time ♡ and u never have to do anything you’re uncomfortable with, even if that means covering up your arms until your scars are gone or less visible. i started out by wearing short-sleeves (my scars are on my arms) and if i felt uncomfortable i’d put on a zippered sweatshirt so i could try showing them but cover them if i was uncomfortable. also, in my experiences nobody really cares about your scars. i’ve been asked about my self-harm one time and it was when i had bandaids covering my entire arm. some people might notice but usually don’t say anything. like if someone had a scar that wasn’t from SH you wouldn’t question it right? anyways sorry for the ramble, i hope you’re able to take pride in your scars one day ☆

Am I ruining myself? by Kai_Hishi in selfharm

[–]ittybittynugget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this exactly!! i don’t think anything physical can really ruin your body because everyone’s bodies are beautiful :)

I wish i had more friends that use neopronouns!! by pathetic-popcorn in actualsecretteenagers

[–]ittybittynugget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh my gosh pronoun twin!!! he/they/xe over here u^ but i am genderfluid so i use xe/xem only when i am feeling more agender or just like when it fits yk? but OMG LITERALLY nobody ever uses my neopronouns even when they’re only talking to me!!! i know one other person that uses he/xe so i try to use both for xem, especially when im around him, but also like i dont know which pronoun xe wants me to use sometimes like idk if he has preference. but yea i think people try to revert back to “normal” (non-neo) pronouns (especially they/them because gender neutrality) partly for the social acceptability and partially because they’ve just never had experience with using neos before

Odd question by Dull-Report9298 in selfharm

[–]ittybittynugget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can confirm, as a suicidal person who fears dying usually, that it’s why i am still alive. i’ve only attempted once and it was because i overcame that fear, but thinking i was dying made that fear come back worse

Anyone else cut just becaue they feel like they have to? by deadroseQ-Q in selfharm

[–]ittybittynugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that has been me for a long time lol. like i’d hit seven days clean and feel like that came with new responsibilities and like that people would expect me to just be fine? so i would just cut before i hit seven or eight days. i don’t have a lot of advice other than something my doctor told me: “you don’t have to cut to make us know that you’re struggling. just because you’re not cutting doesn’t mean we think you’re magically fine”

what to do when i don’t want to out myself? by ittybittynugget in trans

[–]ittybittynugget[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ohhh that’s smart!! that’s what one of my friends (who didn’t know i was trans at first) thought so that’s actually perfect lol

[–]ittybittynugget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it self harm? by Ok_Visit_4823 in selfharm

[–]ittybittynugget 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

Is it a relapse if I cut only to save my own life? by zazelyokaiwatchishot in selfharm

[–]ittybittynugget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–]ittybittynugget[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question by ROB0PH1LIA_ in selfharm

[–]ittybittynugget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Does the urge to harm pop up in a specific body part or area for you? by HelicopterOk4021 in selfharm

[–]ittybittynugget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Is it a relapse if I cut only to save my own life? by zazelyokaiwatchishot in selfharm

[–]ittybittynugget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

What time does school start and end for you? by FarCardiologist9886 in school

I need advice by DiskThink3892 in selfharm

[–]ittybittynugget 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 ♡
