I feel you.I self-harm when my emotions overwhelm me. I have managed to almost completely stop self-harming after watching some helpful videos on YouTube: one is “talk nicely to yourself (paul gilbert)” about the importance of self-compassion; the other is about the importance of living in the present moment, taking one mindful breath at a time (Thich Nhat Hanh).
I’m sorry your friends reacted unkindly. They don’t understand the anxiety- not that they mean to hurt you. Find someone who understands. A therapist will help.
Maybe get a headspace app.....no very unlikely that you done serious injury not if you can still string a sentence together.....try not to do it again or use something less expensive maybe .
Thank u ,i won't hurt myself next time if i survive this time...wow i cant beleive ,every single person thinks i am mad .my parents ,sister ,friends ...it is 2 am here and i am still awake
I get it, whenever I do something stupid I punch myself, or I used squirt hair conditioner in my eye, my friends laugh at me too. But don't kill yourself
