ive cut myself on and off ever since i was like 12 and i havent for a really long time now but recently i keep rhinking about it, even when im not feeling overwhelmed or anything. it just comes to mind and i feel like i need to do it. i know i need someone to talk to about it but i dont want to talk to the people that already know

It won’t bring you anything but more obsession to do it. Find something to distract you and go outside for a walk whenever those thoughts come and think of it as just your mind tricking you. You’re a beautiful soul and things will get better with time. Don’t be afraid to talk to your friends about your feelings because releasing them will make you feel better. It doesn’t matter what they think. It’s more important to get things off your chest. If anything, go get a therapist and that will be like talking to a stranger and you will be glad you did
if I was rich enough for a therapist I’d already have one ?? but thabk you for the advice :))
kneaded erasers help do the trick when i want to self-harm. iām very fidgety, and i used to scratch my arms because i have long nails. so, jabbing a nail in a kneaded eraser or just simply just messing around with it helps more than drawing on your skin or something in my experience!
thank you!! I do the same thing quite a bit too so this was helpful š
