My SH then and now
Hi,
TW // self harm different ways mentioned.
I’m just feeling the need to share my story till now, and experience.
I learned recently that self harm is very wide and many things go under it. I still started with cutting, i guess, by copying it because this was what others did. It never had meaning or relief to me so i stopped. Maybe i was stressed out and was trying to find coping ways my copyng others. Also because self harm is romanticized and it was kind of cool(don’t blame me, it’s stupid) and i think i did seek for attention with it, what everyone always says it for sure is not for.
Well then i thought i was clean. But turns out i can be doing it in so many ways. So yeah, i’m still doing it. Now with emotional or mental things, or mostly banging my head when things get much. Or eating less for reasons.
These forms of SH feel like less serious. Atleast to me. Like they are taken less seriously. Like maybe they’re just habits or whatever…? Right? (For me i do hurt myself with it. But i feel like it is taken and i myself take it easier than hurting skin in any way).
Yeah. I just wanted to write it out. Discuss it with me and maybe with someone else out there who reads it.
💗🫂🦔u got this. It’s okay.

Thank you for sharing.
Its important we talk.
Things are not hidden or secret.
So people don't feel isolated.
Alone.
Or that the behaviour is helping them.
Anything that one does that causes potential harm or pain, is something that only creates instant gratuftabd not long term gain.
Healthier coping mechanisms need to be put in place.
This takes an honest conversation with oneself.
Daily work.
Knowledge.
Acceptance of help.
Sending you my genuine best wishes, recovery comes one step at a time 💜💕
