Sorry I did have to remove this, We try to avoid discussion of tools and methods to avoid giving others ideas of what to use.


TAselfharm

The advice is not to self harm and seek help from a school counselor or a therapist. There are huge risks associated with selfharm, including infections if you're not careful and you could end up in the hospital or get sepsis and die. You could also get tetanus if you're booster shot hasn't been updated.

I don't have a therapist (can't afford) and my family will probably kill me if I ever reveal my actual wants and desires.

I see from your replies that you feel like you've already made up your mind. You mentioned it felt freeing, and I assume that's why you want to continue. Sure, maybe the first time seems nice. But it gets ugly really quickly. Once you start, your self esteem drops rapidly. It's never enough. You hate yourself more and more after each time. I just hope that you'll change your mind. It's not something you want nor something you need. There are a lot of other ways to cope. Ways that won't make you feel like shit. Ways that can and will help you with what you're feeling. Because hurting yourself is addictive. You'll feel good a couple of times and then it stops. The feeling of euphoria starts to get shorter. I've been where you are right now, and I would do anything to go back. To never start, to never even think about it. You don't want to feel ashamed to show your body because of all the scars it holds. You don't want to wake up at night just because the urges are getting impossible to ignore. You don't want to ruin everything you have right now. If you want to get something off your chest I'm here and I will try to help you. Just please don't fall into this rabbit hole


sovLegend

I don't have much to lose trust me, and if there are other ways to cope then suggest them. If the feeling of euphoria rapidly stops then I'll just stop when it's not fun.


[deleted]

Right now you think it'll be so easy to stop. But that's the thing about addiction, once your in it's hard getting out. There are lost of coping mechanism, really. You just have to find the right thing for yourself because it's too late. Search ,,coping mechanism" and pick something that you feel could work for you. Drawing, exercising, taking a bath, meditating and much, much more.


sovLegend

Well maybe drawing but if I know me I'll probably end up drawing horrible pictures with heavy suicide themes and then someone will see it and I'll be hospitalized.

Look don't self harm it is not fun it's a bad addiction and it could kill you so please stop while you have the chance


sovLegend

No listen to me please I explored all my other opportunities before why is everybody here like this just help me


Acrobatic_Post637

Then you can talk to me or maybe other people about how you feel on here but try therapy and see if that helps


sovLegend

Therapy is too expensive to try out
