Hey Lando 🙂 I suffered from self harm for five years of my life, and I’m still suffer from the aftermath (everlasting scars).
You’re a self harmer if you do anything to harm your body, whether it’s even noticeable. It could be cutting, scratching, burning, scraping, hitting, or even over indulging in drugs and alcohol.
And it’s incredibly bad for you. It’s an addiction and the effects are everlasting.
You might think you have control of it now, but that control quickly becomes less and less. It’s an absolute addiction and the worst thing you can do is assume you’re in control, because you never are.
Self harm is always a danger. Even if you’re just picking at your skin; that’s a danger. It shows that you have a lot of deeper psychological issues that need to be dealt with. I can’t begin to emphasise how important it is to get help.
Please talk to someone; a doctor is the best way to go.
I hope you’re doing okay. I care about you.
Hey Sparkle Dolls
Sorry if my english is not so good.
I cut my own, but is not quite through my skin
I’m only a month cutting me, but notice that it is difficult to have a day without cutting.
do you think I need help? or is the feeling go away?
Your English is really good 🙂
I really do think you need help, it’s starting to become an addiction. But if you get help soon, it won’t be hard to stop. You’ll definitely feel a lot better if you see someone, I promise.
Yeah, if it’s turning into an everyday thing, then I’d worry. It’s fine once in a while to bring you down and give you focus, but depending on any coping mechanism that much is a sign of addiction. You start doing it so much that you can’t stop before long. It started to get that way for me and I had to stop. I was like you, generally more surface scratches, but enough to make the skin bleed. I still want to. Oh I still want to. But I know it would be bad if I started up again so I try to control it.
And yes I understand your English well enough. There’s no need to apologize.
I do not know whether much or little, but I have 32 scratch in 2 days
I started scratching and then with scissors now with a not sharp utility knife. it may sound weird but I dare not to say to people around me. I also fear that they are going to see it at school. my scratch in my side. I’m weird
You’re not weird, all sorts of self harm are really common. What’s worrying is that you’ve gone from scratching to using sharp objects. That’s a sign that it’s turning into something more serious, so be brave and tell someone about it, otherwise you will regret it. Be strong. 🙂
I’ve self harmed on and off. The trick to stopping is realising what is triggering it. The hard bit is to remove the triggers. Fucking sucks and you’ll struggle with it from time to time, even when you get better, but yeah lesser the self harming the better
