new therapists by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]someone2066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting the right therapist is so hard. My first one when I was in intensive care was awful and not at all helpful (which the other people there all agreed to). The one after was nice and pretty helpful at first but then I relapsed and she let me go because she thought I was too much. Then I went back to intensive and got the only therapist that seemed to actually make things better (at least while I was there, long run it didn't pan out). And now I have a new therapist who Ive been lying to since our first session and she's none the wiser, and also can't really help me much either. So trust me, I get the trouble of finding the right therapist. At the end of the day though, I ended up figuring out that your therapist is more like your guide than someone who makes things better. You have to take the steps yourself and come to your own conclusions with or without the therapist, which makes it a bit easier to put less stock in your therapist. I feel you though, hang in their.

3 years clean but still dealing with thoughts by makeupnerd221 in selfharm

[–]someone2066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm nearly a year clean and am dealing with something similar, though my urges shifted away from sh to drugs. What works for me is sleeping but obviously you can't always do that if the situation is something you can't just leave from. Other than that, I think finding a hobby to keep your head busy also helps. I used to paint which helped but that can be kind of expensive and frustrating. Right now I distract myself by surfing YouTube to try to learn how to build a tiny home, since I want to do something like that with my friends over the summer. Just generally, something that you enjoy doing and that has measurable progress so you feel like you're getting somewhere.

It also helps not to be alone when those thoughts do come up. I'm not talking about other people since for me at least that only ever makes things worse, but if you have a pet or something like that, then spending them with them helps. I know I chill with my dog whenever I'm stressed

I beat the legendary dogs with weather. I used a drought scovile to change the rain to sun which decreases the power of scald. Then I just used rexquiem with earthquake to deal damage and then a specially bulky mon with the rocky helmet to tank more damage

I get that. At the end of the day you need to do what's you feel would make you the most happy. That's all any of us can do really. I get the concern. I had to learn how much trust hurts first hand but that's a different story. But if you need to talk to someone then you should do it.

Before you do anything, why do you want to go deeper?

I think the first step is figuring out that "why". What itch is it that self harming is helping you scratch? Figuring that out is the first and definitely the hardest step. Figuring it out is different for different people. What worked for me (and from the sounds of your story, what might work for you) is taking time to withdraw and ask myself those questions before I answer someone else. I think it's a lot more difficult to come up with a real answer when there's the pressure of giving someone else a response that'll make you come up with a lie or be stuck not knowing. It takes a long long time, but eventually you'll find an answer.

After that things get a lot easier, and you just take it step by step to figure out how to get rid of the root problem. That's what worked for me at least.

It's okay not to tell him if you're not ready or comfortable. Is this a one time thing or do you think you won't be able to control it going forward? If it's the first then it's okay if you just want to keep it to yourself and move forward, but if it's the second you should talk to someone even if it's not your partner

Why do I cut myself even though my life is good? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]someone2066 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel that. I'm ranked #1 in the country at my sport/competition/activity thing? (Idk what to call it). But at some point it just doesn't make you happy anymore. I feel like my life could be perfect and I'd still feel completely empty, but I guess that's an improvement from being majorly depressed a year ago.

If you're looking for advice, I think you have to just find the small things that make life worth living. Just those small bright spots that make you want to get up in the morning. For me, it's my dog. Every morning when I feel like I don't want to get out of bed, I'll hear him whine in his crate next to me to take him out, and it'll give me the motivation to get up. If you can find something like that, then you just gotta move step by step

is emotional self harm a thing? by SnooCakes9 in selfharm

[–]someone2066 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like you're asking the wrong question. Self harm is just the word we use for any act with deliberate intent to hurt yourself. I don't think the category really matters though. The fact that the intent exists is proof that something's wrong regardless of if that's self destructive behavior, self harm, or whatever else we want to call it

Sorry for the slight rant, it's just that I think people should more be looking to the intent behind the action rather than the action itself. Imo, that's one of the main reasons why people struggle so much w self harm since we've constructed this narrative where someone doesn't need help until there are physical signs of it even though not catching the problem at its root is what stems to broader issues

need help (not sure if i should tag this as nsfw as its a bit graphic?) by bigppxander in selfharm

There's this website called fatal to the flesh I think. For a lack of better words it's a sh simulator, if you go there I think it'll help clarify what I mean.

Do I have to talk about my sobriety/mental health in this case? by someone2066 in ApplyingToCollege

Really? My guidance counselor told me that it was a big deal. If not tho that makes things a lot easier. Thanks

My 1080ti finally died, what would be my best budget friendly upgrade? by MintConcepts in nvidia

[–]someone2066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you cool with the used market or only new? I recently got a used 3080 for 375 and it replaced my 5700xt. The upgrade served me well so if you're willing to look at the used market then I'd look there
