Started harming myself
Hi, I resenttly got into the bad habit of biting myself to the point of bleeding or using nails to dig the top layer of my skin till it bleed.
I noticed this and started checking what triggers it and I realise most of the time it happens when I am with my mum. She says so many things sometimes that hurt and the only way I feel like it would hurt less in my heart is by inflicting harm on myself.
I don’t know what to do and I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this.

My heart genuinely goes out to you.
I'm sorry that your mother makes you feel like this.
You don't deserve it.
You deserve to be happy and safe.
You matter!
When it's impossible to limit your interactions with your mother, perhaps you could place an elastic band on your wrist and flick it each time she insults you.
Take a deep breath and tell yourself in that moment , her words are not true, she has no control over how I feel.
This will pass.
I am safe.
Anything that stops you painting yourself in this awful way!
💕💜
