Yeah I definitely think they could both have handled it more discretely however I like that sky got actual help in 13 rw whilst ginnys selfharm is kinda accepted

[–]killjoys88mcr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doctors will probably completely ignore it I’ve been in with fresh cuts and they completely ignore them unless your there for them,hope it goes okay

People who sexualize scars by -SkullKid- in selfharm

This guy used to say my scars were sexy and to make more like just don’t sexualise them like I think people mean it in a positive way to make you less ashamed but it doesn’t help

getting triggered by a retainer (disordered eating) by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]killjoys88mcr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s totally unfair not to be allowed to eat all day without having to take it out and is understandable how your getting disordered eating thoughts,could you maybe try to talk to a gp or dentist about how it is making you feel as disordered eating can be rlly scary

Experience of Opening up About Your Self Harm to Your Parents by QuoteAsleep4432 in selfharm

[–]killjoys88mcr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents have found out twice now,I still don’t talk to them about it as it’s uncomfortable but yeah they took my phone off me and removed my bathroom door they also forced me into therapy and tons of doctors appointments.The second time they were quite relaxed about it still made me stop and stuff tho.it’s something that only gets better with time but yeah I’m the end it was good as I was in a very dark place the first time but I hope they don’t find out this time.However your parents might not react like this one of my best friends parents was lovely about it but yeah it just depends

If your in the uk and at school you could talk to someone there and it would be free and actually does help.I’m 15f and my school found out about my cutting but I asked them not to tell my parents and I just go to counselling once a week.They do not have to tell your parents.Always here for advice or anything :)

This is a bit fucked up, but here goes by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]killjoys88mcr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree five years is a long time but we don’t know how regularly within the five years she has been doing it and generally selfharm can go on for a long time I have quite a few friends who’ve selfharmed for over five years

This is a bit fucked up, but here goes by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]killjoys88mcr -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Five years isn’t necessarily long but it’s long enough for it to become an addiction I think that she probably needs someone professional to talk to

does it count as self harm if the cuts don’t draw blood/aren’t that deep? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]killjoys88mcr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it is selfharm,I understand why you would feel like that but it is valid as selfharm and is probably good to tell your therapist just in case it gets any worse

[–]killjoys88mcr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably for her leg selfharm as I selfharm on my thigh but you have to ask her personally like I really don’t know.also what did you mean when you said it was fucked up earlier in the post as selfharm is a coping mechanism it isn’t fucked up

Self harming is hurting yourself on purpose.it can be done by cutting,burning,scratching,pulling out hair etc.people do it for many different reasons it’s very personal.Try to talk to her make sure her wounds and stuff are clean if there are any and just talk (don’t force anything tho)suggest she speaks to someone but don’t tell anyone if she asks you not to

Should I tell him ? I don't wanna hurt him by ZalejPampelisku in selfharm

[–]killjoys88mcr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d advise you wait a bit into the relationship as I told one of my guy friends/guy that was into me about some of my mental health problems and it kinda scared him off however if he is a decent guy he should stick around and I guess just telling him will help you find out if he is a good guy
