I was at sleepaway camp the other day and my only friend at the camp wore short sleeves and he wasn't addressing it but he was very open about the meds he was on and his anxiety. He had purpley old scars up and down his wrist. Nobody confronted him about it but it was obvious. it was hot out. he deserved to not be burning up without being suspected as being attention seeking

Cause it’s much easier to ascribe some sort of blame. If your kid is cutting it’s easier to say “oh they just want attention” cause then the solution is simple. Spend a bit more time with them and they’ll be fine. If you admit there’s another cause you also have to admit that first the self harmer has some serious problems and second that recovery is going to be difficult. Once you admit that you either have to throw in for a rough ride with them or abandon ship. The “it’s just for attention” line is a bandage so they don’t have to face that inevitable choice.

It also tells about mental health but doesn't really give information. We are supposed to choose a subject in that book and prepare a presentation about it. I'll prepare something about mentall health so I can change something at least in my classroom.

When I used to self harm (I'm currently almost 2 months clean) I would hide my tools right under people's noses. They would look in my drawer and not find anything. Self harm has made me so much more secretive, and clever. I would hide things in the backs of my tv remotes. I would tape things to the inside of my guitar. I would hide things inside a tissue box. I would hide things inside my tv. (It was a little portable tv with a built in DVD player and you push the screen and it opened). I hide things in the most clever of places. So another warning sign is if someone gets anxious when someone is near that item, or is really defensive and obsessive over it, that might be a hiding spot.

Lol wow that's actually pretty clever. Personally, (male btw) I own about 11 knives and I have them set up in a collection so as to hide them in plain sight. I actually continue collecting them as I was a big knife fan way before I even thought about self harming and I figure I should keep it up so as not to alert anyone.

We talk every day, and she makes me show my wrists to her to make sure I don't cut. This is an amazing video, I didn't come here to hide that I cut. I came here to help others.

I have an internet friend that used to cut (we are very close and trust each other) and when he started again I made him promise to stop.

I mean disordered eating is a problem but it depends the reason why you are doing it. Sometimes we don't eat because we are depressed or we are having stress in our lives and that wouldn't be considered harmful behavior because you are not doing it with the intent to harm yourself. Either way, not eating is a problem and you should really reach out for help if you are struggling with it in anyway.

I had this sun spot on my hand and it kind of bothered me. I went to sleep one night, then I woke up the next morning and my hand was hurting. So I looked at it. I unconsciously dug out the sun spot on my hand, so currently I have a large hole where it used to be.

I feel like I need to vent a lil (sorry) a little over a year ago my cousin found out I was cutting and made me promise to stop. So I did.(I know 9times out of 10 they don't stop) I did, well for a year. I recently started feeling all of the self hate, feeling unwanted. Honestly I don't love myself and I haven't for a long time. I started cutting again except this time I'm cutting my upper thighs instead of my wrists. No will ever find out, correction no one can ever find out. I can't disappoint my parents anymore I'm already enough of a fuck up. -the girl with the scarlet thighs

I know what it's like on the other end my cousin told me she self harmed and I only saw her a few times a year but when I found out we made a deal and it's kept her clean and alive. Our deal was that whatever she does I can do. She didn't stop for her she stopped to protect me.

Hey I'm glade that it's has helped your cousin stay clean but saying that to some one who self harms even if it sounds like it would be helpful could actually make things worse because if she does slip up and you find out and do it then it could make her feel worse that's she hurting you bye doing that and that builds a lot of guilt and anxiety over this and on the other hand she could start doing it in more secretive places so you won't see maybe start luring to you and that could really hurt your relationship to your cousin now please know I'm not attacking you or anything like that I'm not tell you off or anything I'm just informing you that's all have a great day

Okay so, I used to cut and when my mom found out she broke down and sobbed. I stopped cutting for a year, my mom made jokes about my cutting that made me feel like I was just a play thing to laugh at. I felt pretty uncomfortable and angry every time she made fun of my scars and my "act." She thought that my suicidal and self deprecating thoughts just magically disappeared and always asks me "Why don't you go ask that employee for help?" Like I have the confidence of a plant, mum :,)

I had sports day the other day,and I was covered in cuts,all over me,and someone saw me,I had a panic attack. Everyone was talking and laughing and I thought that if they knew why...they would understand why I feel the way I do. I had to do races,and pictures,videos. I felt ashamed. I wanted to cry. I wanted to try and take my life again. The teachers were staring at my arms and legs. When I turned to look my teacher was continuously staring at my left arm...I'd picked the scab and it was bleeding so out of control.my arm went numb and I felt like I was going to die,I was taken to the medical room,because I passed out. Now,I still cut. I can't stop. I feel worse because on hot days...I can't take off my jacket. Sir explained to me that I didn't have to hide away. But I did because my cuts had multiplied. By then I had no arm skin in sight. I took off my blazer...the teachers saw,and I was taken out of class for a bag check. They found broken glass and razors. And that night when I went home...was the night I tried to kill myself

@LikeKristen9 жыл бұрын
+Gemma Thomson Well obviously it all depends on your mind set. Yes a lot of people pick at their scabs and if they don't admit that they are lying. When someone self injuries themselves they are doing it to either feel something or to punish themselves. It is self harm if you are doing it to punish yourself or to feel something.
@caseyholt18228 жыл бұрын
Often when you pick scabs as self harm, it would be like, you pick the ENTIRE scab off, quickly, so it hurts (often it hurts a lot), and you do it over and over, so it doesn't heal, and when it does heal, it scars badly. This especially applies to self harm injuries. I have some scars on my legs that I picked over and over again before they finally healed, and they are really ugly looking. The ones I never picked are all white and shiny beautiful. Marks of the pain I went through. The other ones, the ones I picked, are red and stick out, they are angry looking. So it would depend on your mindset for sure, but also, how MUCH are you picking?

In all fairness release emotions isn’t the only reason for self harm. Sometimes you go long stretches without feeling anything at all and the pain helps to remind you that there’s still someone in there. That you’re still alive.

So I know this is random. But people think I burn myself purposely. I was born (or somehow have) numb nerves (in a way. I can feel pain, still). When I am in the shower, most water feels cold. So I turn the heat up to full heat and end up burning myself by accident. It makes me sad because I hate it when it happens. People also think I self harm, cutting self harm, because there is bloody toilet paper in a trash can. A few times a month they see it. But that is just me cleaning my female down there area during my period. Because blood makes me dizzy and disgusted, a little. I do self harm. But I barely do it. I watched this to try and help my addiction.
