I had something happen the other day that embarrassed me and then made me angry. I used to burn. The inside of my left arm is a mass of scars. There are also some cut scars on each arm. There’s no way to cover them. Long sleeves when it’s 90+ out are not an option. I’ve never had anyone ask me to my face what was on my arm. The other day while sitting with other people this woman asked what was on my arm!!!!! I quickly hid it and mumbled a non answer. Now I’m furious. Has anyone else… read more
My daughter has very serious, keloid scarring, where she has self harmed herself. As a mother, to see them, promotes the most saddest feelings, I can feel. Out of curiosity, I asked her if she would… read more
Covering up a self-injury to a accident caused by another
factor .
Sounds like a breakdown with suicidal tendencies to go wild without thinking. For instance, the feeling can stem from dui, and crashes into another car. You may conflate pain and pleasure, but what… read more

So sorry to tell you this but meds are the only things that have kept me alive. My therapist told me at one of my sessions that did I think that my insurance would pay for me to go to her if it wasn’t… read more
Hard to describe this but I mean like does anyone feel numb at times but just carries on with daily life. Like as if you don't want to do anything. You feel nothing but no point explaining to anyone knowing they won't understand as they haven't been through depression and that?
From my experience though, all feelings change. The same one might come back time and time again, but it doesn't stay constant forever! It just feels like it is that way! I look at the tough feelings… read more
I struggle immensely with self-criticism and self-bullying which is obviously doing more harm than good. My internal critic has taken control of my daily thoughts which is something I really need to curb. My question is: How can I incorporate self-compassionate practices into my daily routine when I don't believe I am worthy of my own love and compassion? I know it sounds strange but I don't believe that I deserve my own love and compassion, much less other people's. When people treat me with… read more

However, I believe, even as a self hater, we can find at least one thing we like about ourselves. I… read more
At times I turn to all self harming behaviors and not sure how to cope without doing these self harms. They're not huge behaviors
All very good advice here!
Sort of a two part question.. What to say when someone asks about it (when they ask "what happened/what are those from?" it seems like common knowledge to already know the answer so I don't understand why they would ask that in the first place). But also what to say when people make rude comments/fun of it. I just don't know what the right response would be. And the people asking about it or making fun would either be like older teens/adults so it's not like a little kid.. I feel like they… read more
I had a few on my arm that I covered with a tattoo but the ones on my thighs are initials that I put there. Most people don't say anything because they are obvious self inflicted, but if they do, my… read more
