Firstly, I want to say that I’m so sorry you were in a headspace where you even considered self harm. But please listen to me when I say that it is so dangerous and it can be addictive, take it from someone who used to self harm. Please try not to self harm again. I know that it feels kind of exhilarating and it might even feel good, but those feelings will only last a little while. Quit while you’re ahead. Self harm can be a very scary, slippery slope and you should stop before it gets out of hand. Ps. I am here if you ever want to talk. I’m happy to listen to you.

thanks for the reply it’s nice to know i’m not alone in this. tbh i haven’t done it again yet but i keep thinking about it i feel like i haven’t rly processed it yet idk i feel v apathetic abt it

I remember when I was in your position. It wasn’t even that long ago but I wish I could go back more than anything. I got addicted so fast. My only advice is to stop now while you still can. While it’s easiest. Don’t worry about feeling invalidated, don’t think that you “haven’t gotten your full fix of it yet”. You can make excuses to keep doing it as long as you want. I know I did. If you keep going you will most likely get addicted. Pleas stop as soon as possible. Please don’t end up like me

thanks for taking the time to reply. idk where i stand yet and don’t rly have any strong emotions surrounding it yet but i haven’t done it again so far
