hi..
ive been doing sh for a number of years now because its the only way im keeping myself alive. my parents just found out and instead of comforting me or anything they threatened me to stop and hit me. my dad forcefully grabbed my arm to see and the next day there was a big bruise of where he grabbed me. theyve always not liked me but i thought maybe this once they would care a bit. now i cant sh anywhere that would usually be visible which is hard cause its really the only way i cope.
I’m so sorry to hear that you went through that. I’ve also went through something similar like that and it wasn’t a very pleasant experience. I promise you there is more ways to cope. It can be as little as listening to music, talking with friends, watching videos, texting online, etc. if you ever feel like you want to sh again please text the 741741 for free, confidential support. It’s a number meant for people who want to self harm. Trying new hobbies or something to distract you from doing sh is a huge accomplishment. I may not know who you are but I promise you one thing, I am supporting you and rooting for your success and growth. If your parents are showing more and more abuse towards you, you can call the run away line to help. I just wanted to say that I truly believe in you and I hope for your success.
