      Hey there! I just want you to know that you're loved! If not by anybody else in your life, which I highly doubt considering how incredible you are, then you're loved by me. You're beautiful in every single way and you don't have to hurt yourself for things you cant control or lies that you've been told or intrusive emotions. I know it's hard, but don't let this control you. I'm out two and a half years. I started when I was eleven and I'm now a fairly content fourteen year old. Nothing is easy and the trauma will come back from time to time and you will get overwhelmed, but those feelings are temporary and the joy I feel when I'm around the good friends that I've found along the way, the joy I feel when I block out the lies of the devil, the pure and udder bliss I feel when I get to deactivate my braces(haha) is so much greater than the seemingly endless sadness and anxiety that I felt back then or that I feel from time to time. If you ever wanna talk, I can give you my discord tag and I'll always be here for you. I love ya, just keep swimming!

    I was shamed and called disgusting when I self harmed which just made me feel like nobody cared at all, I admit part of the reason was a cry for help and part was that I wanted to punish myself. The way I got out of my depression was by helping others and animals. I became a “listener “ in prison which is a job were other inmates can request to see a listener 24/7 and basically just listen and talk to them, a lot of people are depressed in prison. It was very rewarding. Helping others gives you a good feeling inside and helps you to actually like yourself and realise you are a good person

He could have tried a different approach...he could have not said anything until he was calm and he should have thought about why and what made you feel the way your feeling. Ik for parent to see their child hurting themselves is hard but their was so many others things he could have done than make you feel even more alone.

    Exactly! No one understands my pain, no one gets it, they wouldn't believe me if I said I tried my best, they wouldn't. They would think I took it all lightly and carelessly and was just relaxing and lazing about while I am in my room having mental breakdowns, panic attacks in tutions and anxiety, symptoms of dperession, extreme loneliness, self doubt, self hatred, tearful, empty and the fact that they don't see my real self and only see that I laugh sometimes and don't realise I am just showing that 'okay' side to them but actually i am totally hopeless and getting worse day by day, it just makes me feel lonelier.

    its also important to note that most of the time they wont tell you. they wont say anything until they physically cant help thenselves or hntil yoj notice somethin and ask. its an uncomfortable subject but its important to note that they wont walk atoun, flashing their scars (cuts, butns, bruises, etc) they will try to hide it.

    So I'm a bit stuck right now so I'm hoping for some advise.
    My friend is self harming and it is all over their arms. I'm so worried and I don't know how to support them. Yes, I have asked them that they can talk to me but they are uncomfortable doing so, saying they feel ashamed for it but they also told me that they have given up on trying to stop self harming. I know there is only so much I can do but I really feel useless seeing my friend like that. On top of that, every time I see their arms, I want to point them out so he can tell me what's wrong but it doesn't work. I also heard you shouldn't point them out but if I don't point them out.... Do I ignore them and act as if my friend is okay and get on with my day like nothing happened? I'm confused, I would be thankful for somebody's perspective on this.

      It is a really difficult situation since some people might be defensive if they aren’t ready to talk about it , but if you get closer and build more trust with without bringing up the subject completely they might open up a bit more . Like maybe asking them how they are or letting them know you are there for them . As someone who has been through it , I promise you people can build trust over time , but the best thing to do is not force them to stop, and don’t make them feel bad about it since Sometimes people can do that if they feel like they have no options to help. But you can try and distract them by doing fun things , maybe spending more time with them . Personally if someone brought it up with me I’d be very uncomfortable and depending on the person defensive , but I’d be happy still knowing that they’d care .
      Sorry if this comment is a bit long but hope it can help a bit

      Best advice I can give you, is to be there for them. That's all I needed when I was struggling. All we want to know is that we're wanted in this world. If they're comfortable with hugs, randomly give them one. Find their love language and just do random things for them to let them know that you really care about them. When you know that you're loved, you don't feel the need to hurt yourself as much. This is what would have helped me, just learn their boundaries and, again, be there for them.

    I used to cut because it would distract me from the emotional pain I felt. All i needed was someone to hug me and tell me it was going to be okay. That is literally the only thing I wanted, but any time I'd tell someone, theyd just shrug it off. Sometimes we dont need a big speach or long letters of how important we are, sometimes your actions are enough to let us know that we're still wanted in this world. God gave me another day, but sometimes i cant find any value in it on my own. Just give us a long, unexpected hug every once in a while.

  • @gabadaba5436

    If I remember correctly, pain induces the release of various "happy chemicals" and adrenaline, which can temporarily reduce that emotional pain and focus your mind in the moment. Hurting yourself isn't good, but considering the effects can be somewhat similar to drugs, I see it as a better of two evils.

    I also want to say that when you are planning to confront a friend or family member about their scars, and really anything potentially emotionally-sensitive, don't assume anything, and you MOST ESPECIALLY don't assume you understand anything, because you don't. Ask them about how they are feeling, why did they do what they do, what could be some of the reasons on as to why they do that, how can you help, and so on. Asking questions about them, diving deep on the conversation (Via the Socratic Method), providing reassurance, and not talking about yourself are important things to do when someone is experiencing emotional turmoil or when discussing that is potentially sensitive.
    Of course, there are other things to do as well, but these are the basic, general tips that I personally recommend as someone who used to frequently harm themselves, been diagnosed with depression, and experienced an over decade-long toxic relationship.

      I know the feeling. Both me and my best friend were depressed and using each other as a crutch. She was a worse case than I, so I worried much more for her. I also have OCD so I always thought that if I didn't text her "I love you," each day, she'd do the unimaginable. Just do the best you can, be there for her, and if she decides to do something drastic, it was never your fault. Talk about these things with her. Communication is key to a healthy relationship no matter how difficult the conversation is.
