I'm nearly a year of clean. but I've been popping pimples, plucking hair and verbally still hurting myself. i don't know how to stop. how to stop seeing myself as a disgrace and i feel like I'm hurting people who actually love me too
i always try to ignore my depression because the only way I'm when I'm depressed is so upsetting to me. and a near while ago one of my best friends lost a close loved one. i am a good person to cheer you up usually but her pain is so big. i can't help her at all. and onto that I'm trying to cheer myself up. i feel guilt. and my partner is her best friend. he wouldn't want to talk with me. of course he wouldn't. but I'm not help especially when she would talk about self harm (which she had thought of but refused to) i want to help her. but she's stronger than me. yet. i really hope my partner doesn't hate me. because in silly little excuses i kept on cutting and he suffered for me. and now i try to help but i make it so i feel like an imposter. like i want to not have that conversation. and that makes me feel like the horriblest person. i have a lot of triggers. i really wanna be help but in the end all i do is talk about myself. make it all about myself and call it a day. i know he cares so much about me. but he even avoids talking about his own problems when i mention myself. i should focus on him shouldn't i? yeah. i really hope my toxicity doesn't go through him

To all the people who have felt so down and consumed by the dark, thoughts to the point of cutting to punish yourself or forget the pain or whatever, I just want to tell you that you can make it. You can make it and be clean. It became almost an addictive habit for me. I'd just cut without thinking, just to feel the pain. I'd end up in a trance like state I guess but a hard talk from my parent made me realize how it's not good. Your body is the temple of God.
It's hard to stop and stay clean initially but you can do it. I'm still struggling but when I think of how long I've been clean and the progress, it makes me feel better and want to stay clean longer.
I'm sorry for whatever anybody may be going through and I'm proud of you and care for you even though I don't know you.

I remember I told my friend I self-harmed once, and they said they also did. I comforted the best I could and I was always there for them. Sometimes when I was down I would call or ask for help on what to do, but they would always say I dont know and hang up. They later admitted they never did in the first place and were doing it for attention. I shared this to say, please never fake self harm when it can just hurt others who deal with it or not.

Although I dont use blades or anything than will leave a easy to see mark. But I use toothpicks and broken plastic to cut my arm to the point where it hurts and I feel pain but not sharp enough to concern my family or friends. But its getting worse I get so tempted to grab a knife a hurt myself. Im scared of it getting worse. but their words hurt. I hate feeling fat and ugly everyday. I dont feel myself and it hurts.

It's kind of difficult to go for a walk when its 3am. I do push ups/ sit ups instead. I keep telling myself to do one more till eventually I go down and can't find the energy to go back up. Then I just lie there thinking screw what people say, I managed to not self harm and that is all that matters It was difficult at first tho cos I suck at push ups lol

I dont have any mental illness, Ive self-harmed for the last 6 years, I usually say that Im not gonna do it again, at the begging I used to do it every day and for the last 3 years I stay clean for 4-8 months and then something happens and back to the blade I go, its terrible and I dont know if I really want to do something about it

I cut myself ONCE with a piece of glass. I literally have no idea why i did it, (maybe because i had a dream about it) but now i got addicted to the thought of hurting myself on my wrists. I've thrown the piece of glass away, but that didn't stop me. Now I'm just scratching myself with my nails. im only 12. this sucks.

It's not that easy tho - i self harm because I hate myself and fell guilty not because of these reasons at all. And the only way I can stop my self from screaming and breaking out into tears in public is by remembering my scars and how later I can do it again.

I harm myself emotionally. I get mad at myself for anything that goes wrong even if it is small and not that important. These 20 tips can give me new ideas to calm down. My brain is working better now. I am able to think differently now. Thank you immensely.

I'm at the point where I don't know if I can exercise because I'm afraid I'll worsen the injury (in a way that the cut rips open) well, there's the struggle. But I love exercising, just don't know if I'm kinda doing it for self-harming resons

Recently, accidentally did a little too deep and actually freaked me out. I can stop whenever I want and have stopped for long periods of time, but the fact that this is an option I can choose to take still remains

My biggest Problem is I DON'T KNOW, WHY I FEEL THIS WAY. I wasn't abused, I wasn't raped, I didn't Lose a loved one, my parents Support me. Nothing ever happened in my life that could cause those Feelings.

The thing is, Ive tried most of these. They only last for so long. And I cant do any of them in class, because of teachers who have had depression, we are no longer allowed to draw on our wrists.

Asking SOMONE about their self harm scars is like asking an orphan where their parents are, dont do it, Im just saying because I feel embarrassed when someone points out my cuts.
