IS It bad enough?
Hi, i been doing sh since i was 12 and so. I been quiting and falling again all over the years. What leads to now. Im 17. And I had done sh a few times. Enough to be noticiable in my arm. Yet its not much. Not a lot. Which made me worry, cause i feel that if Im gonna do sh, at least really do It. Its like. I feel if someone see It right now its like a joke. I cut what? A few cuts? Its like a pathetic way to do sh. I feel that Im supposed to just destroy my arms, like, if i start i should finish It. And now Im conflicted. IS It enough a few cuts to be concerning? Does It Matter? Does sh have a Minimum number? I did It much more when i was younger. So It fel like a joke now. Nothing too Serious
@NoahVirel it does matter, and it's not a joke sweetie 🙁 I'm very thankful that it's not that bad, and you should be proud of that fact too 💗 sh has been your way of coping with bad things, it's not your fault, we all have coping mechanisms we are not proud of. So don't be too hard on yourself 💖 gives you a giant tiny hug 💗 it doesn't matter what others think, your not a joke, and your feelings matter💖
Thanks. That actually make me feel better. You are very kind. When i was younger, when my Friends discovered they though It was "cool" and one of them pretty much scratched the cuts, making even more harm. And keeping a scar i still have. So its kinda nice feel its not a joke and be talked seriously
@NoahVirel yeah lots of people won't understand🙁 and their words and actions hurt and I know it's not easy to ignore them, but sweetie we understand and care here, so when ever your feeling low lean on us 💖💖 hugs you tightly 💗

hi there friend 💛 *sits with you if that's ok* i hope you know its a pretty big thing to reach out about this kind of thing, its a brave thing to do. its hard to open up about stuff.
sh and sh urges are really difficult to deal with. :( i promise your not pathetic at all and its not a joke. 💛 it means you've been hurting and that's not your fault. and once we start, its really difficult to stop even though how much/how often we do it fluctuates over time. like Tiny said in the previous post, sh is a coping mechanism. its really hard to not listen to those urges when they're strong, and sometimes the urge stays for a long time, and sometimes it stays for a short time and lessens quicker. its not your fault 💛 i do understand the feeling of "i didn't do enough" though - your not alone in that, and your not pathetic or a joke for feeling this way.
i'm sorry your old friends didn't take it seriously when you were younger. :/ it sucks when people don't try to understand this stuff or they don't take it as seriously as they should. :( sending you big hugs *if ok* and lots of love 💛
