Let's add some positivity.
Self-harm isn't a positive thing, and we are all here because we know that and want help.
I know a long of people, including myself, are really struggling with positivity right now, so let's help eachother.
I'll go first: I am proudly 94 days clean. This is the longest I have ever been since I started 4 years ago. That's a huge thing for me.
Your turn: what's something positive in your life, something you did good? Something to be proud of? Just anything. It could be your 2 year long streak, or even that you got out of bed today and just sat in the shower. It doesn't matter how big or small, even just a little doodle you think is kinda good is a big thing.
We are all here to support and help eachother, so let's do that.
Hey.. I came across this thread in the self harm support category and this post rlly got me thinking. I am 13 years old, young, i know, but i have been struggling with self harm since I was 9. I havent cut myself in months, the last time was like, August or September and i still have the scars. Im proud of myself for not cutting but at the same time I feel nothing. Absolutely no emotion. Its like self harm has become a normal thing too me and I might be crazy, idk. I dont get triggered anymore, and when other people I know are self harming it doesnt affect me. Ive always been the therapist friend and of course I support them and be there for them but its just like a numb feeling and I hate it. I wish that the thought of it made me hate myself. I wish that self harm was a horrible, disgusting thought that erked my nerves but its not. I just wanna say, thank you for this post and Im proud of you for being 94 days clean. Thats a big accomplishment after everything youve been through ( i kinda stalked ur page a little.) but uhm, thanks, a lot. stay strong!<3
Being numb... it's no fun at all. Like everything is just going without reason. On and on.. I'm really sorry you feel that way, but I'm proud of you for being clean that long. That's amazing. We will find ways to replace it, but for now, I wish you the absolute best and let's keep going!
