Reasons and Experience ?
Tw: self harm, depression.
Hope everyone is having a blessed day, anyway i used to harm myself for the reason of i rather feel physical pain than emotional.. that would be my way to release all the bottled up emotions that would overwhelm me.. however it cost me my most important and significant relationship with the father of my son because he thought i was manipulating him into staying with me.. that wasn’t it at all.. it was just a way for me to cope with the overwhelming feelings of anxiety and depression and desperation and sadness.. why is it so hard to find someone who gives support and doesn’t treat you like you’re crazy or belonging in an asylum? Did it ever cost you anything?
@FrozenRosesz I'm really sorry to hear that you've been through such a challenging and painful journey. It takes a lot of courage to open up about your experiences, and I appreciate you sharing them here.
Self-harm can be a way some individuals cope with overwhelming emotions, but it's important to remember that there are healthier alternatives to deal with these feelings. It's also unfortunate that your coping mechanism had unintended consequences on your relationship. It's clear that you were trying to find a way to manage your anxiety, depression, and sadness.
Finding someone who understands and supports you during tough times can be a daunting task, but they do exist. People who genuinely care about your well-being and are willing to provide support without judgment are out there. It might take time to find them, but they are worth the search.
It's essential to prioritize your mental and emotional well-being. Seeking therapy or counselling can be incredibly beneficial in helping you navigate these challenges and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Remember, you're not alone in your struggles, and there are people who want to see you thrive and find happiness. Take care 💜
Thanks so much, beautiful words❤️
