Self-Injuring Sensory Behaviors | Sensory Awareness Series

[@jackdrizhal3045]

I have to remind myself that spd isn't a weakness same as motion sickness that you're born with. Alcohol huge issue-sober now-overeating forever-cant sleep for more than 5 hrs. straight. These videos really help to see you're not the only one....

please please please keep making videos I honestly believe God brought me to you to help my daughter, you're videos are going to help my daughter immensely

Thank you for your videos. Never heard the term stimming although I have some of the behaviors for years now. Good to have some understanding and not feel so weird about it. Thank you so much!

[@joshuahutchings558]

God I'm clicking on all the videos in this series and immediately liking them so I don't lose them. The interaction between the stimming and psychological reasons for self harm is so interesting. It helps me understand myself.

I'm so glad I was able to help you understand yourself more. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.

Thank you for sharing, been doing this for years

[@illestwhiteboy4375]

Self harming isn't just a way to gate the pain but there is also a sense of being in control of your own pain. Example: if anyone is going to hurt me its gonna be myself.

[@BlaireM]

Yes. There are many possible underlying motivations. I did want to address that issue but figured the gating one would be the most relevant for SPD specifically.

[@illestwhiteboy4375]

@@BlaireM I'm glad people are starting to talk about mental health more. But there is still a long way to go, I know I can't be 100% honest without being put on a 72 hr hold.

Thanks for sharing your experience, even though it was difficult.

I did this many times as a young teen , it was when my feelings were hurt and I was experiencing so much emotional pain it somehow gave me relief to cut myself the scars are still there . I’ve also done the hitting my legs too , the worst part is people then think your crazy , I then moved on to starving myself and bulimia .tfs much 💓🕊🙏
