Losing your identity to self harm - what should I do? | Selfharmerproblems

[@astridx7485]

I self harmed two days ago after being one year clean. I feel terrible. I know relapses happen tho, I'm working on it in therapy. Thank you for your videos!

[@Ozisl]

Talking about this really helps me not feel so lonely, isolated, and hopelessly broken. Thank you. Self harm makes me feel so... pathetic.

[@MisterLewa]

Your videos are saving my life

[@Brandon-bh7pj]

I hate that some people think you cut yourself so you must be emo or want attention. That's pisses me off.

[@bibisnape]

Ugh i feel this...I haven't self harmed in 1 year and 4 months and i have no idea who i am anymore. I started self harming 10 years ago when i was 13 and all these years i only saw myself as "the girl who self harms". And now i feel like an empty shell, but my anxiety keeps me from trying new stuff so i'm just sitting around, doing nothing all day long :/

[@rukaiyajohar218]

Owww i feel you!! Its okay..you will find yourself soon. And your struggle has been so long. But since you are clean for a good time now. I am so proud of you💛💛💛

[@cj-ow3fb]

Wowowow I didn’t realize I was also struggling with this. I think about it, talk about it to myself, how I associate things, linking anything with self harm, every day. It’s just such a big part of my life, even if the actual sh is few and far between. As per usual you made me feel accepted and understood ❤️

[@petrajocic8898]

Hey, i just want to say that your videos helped me a lot with self harm. I've been trying to stop self harming since a year ago and i've been clean since june. Thank you!

[@spilledink849]

This video is amazing, especially option 3. Stepping outside myself although difficult, was an enormous stepping stone in my current recovery. Your channel is such a wonderful resource, keep changing the world!💗💞💖💕

[@auryxx_22]

You are so underrated. you talk about very important topics and you don't even have 10,000 subscribers! You barely have comments and this is sad- I am subscribed. Love your videos ✨

[@lilren8825]

Love your channel and content, its really helped

[@oneavx]

Hi, self harm used to be a huge part of my life. It probably at one point heavily intertwined with how I identified. I've been coming to terms with my scars and why I self harmed and your videos have really helped. I'm nearly a year clean from it now.

she became my comfortable person so quickly

[@lululalalululalala]

Hello I love you so much. You help me go trough this.Ur channel makes me so safe and not alone.thank you for being there for me

[@YouthPotential]

Number 3 and 5 are my fav. 5 really resonates with my recovery philosophy. A lot of people who self harm end up with a BPD diagnosis (or others) and not knowing who you are is a common symptom, as well as self-harm. From my experience; in my younger years I was so obsessed with self harm that I forgot who I was. Then again at 27. Today I’m not sure, but I’m not trying to figure it out. I’m more interested in what I do with my time❤️

[@soundcode0246]

More lockdown videos plss!!!

[@peacemaker6929]

Relapsed from 8 month self harm free this last week

[@user-fs2zv2lb2i]

Sometimes I feel like I'm not even doing a bad thing. I don't do it to hurt myself it's more of an impulse/addiction. I know it's not a good coping strategy but I don't think I do it in a bad way so it makes it confusing if and why I should stop

[@AnimeFan-xb7yn]

"Omg lol what is that on your arm what do you cutt your self" and proceeded ti laugh in my face

[@fabia7180]

Is it possible that you could make a video about how to “hide” self harm scars or if there’s a way to not het scars? I don’t feel “ready” to show anyone my scars so it would be extremely helpful.

[@Selfharmerproblems]

Hi! No, I would never make a video on tips for hiding scars. I feel there's just too big of a potential for it to promote self harm instead of recovery

[@fabia7180]

Alright then that’s fine I understand. Thanks a lot for doing these videos :)

[@madmaddy102]

Happy self harm awareness day (1/3/21)

[@AnimeFan-xb7yn]

So i lied and said i got it from gardening and he proceeded to tuant me about it and making fun of me

[@noelleuwu1776]

I don’t feel like I have any mental health issues but for some reason I still cut- also what if I don’t like the things I use to do? Lately my hobby has been sitting in my room just going on my phone/laptop, crying, and stress eating

[@greyv9107]

i asked my close friends what the associated with me and they said emo 🙃🙃

[@georgiahowe9184]
