Also I don't consider "self harm" to be immoral and I don't think shaming and punishing people and denying them basic autonomy because they cope in ways you consider to be "harmful" is helpful or motivating, I think that's abusive actually

something i see infrequently discussed is that light canonically self-harms as his main weapon -- like the thing he always has in his back pocket is his ability to physically injure himself and kill people with his own blood. & it's not just the act itself but his degree of nonchalance. it is of no interest to him. he does not hesitate. the preservation of his body is of no interest whatsoever to him.

& that's not even getting into the more abstract nightmare scenario he threw himself into during the yotsuba ac. he is a person with this fundamental disconnect between his body and himself except insomuch as it can be a useful tool to him.

Things you should do when a mentally ill person is in crisis instead of calling the cops on them:

Stay with them for a while or have someone else stay with them

Remove potential self harm tools like knives, razors, big quantities of pills, etc if necessary

Try to encourage them to sleep and eat regularly and to remember basic self care/encourage a stabilizing routine

Remind them that you're there and that you care and that you're not going anywhere

Try not to panic/get visibly upset

Offer distractions

Help them look into their options according therapy, support groups and medication. Help them make phone calls and escort them to their appointments if necessary

Remind them of the coping methods they usually benefit from. Help them practice them

National news outlets in New Zealand reported that the 18-year-old trans masc individual was taken to an emergency department early after attempting a “partial left mastectomy at home.” The incident was described as an “act of desperation” over the “unmet need” of masculinising chest surgeries. The New Zealand Medical Journal reported that a combination of being unable to afford a private consultation and the “significant psychological stress” of gender dysphoria pushed the teen to attempt the surgery himself. Several hours later he sought medical attention, fearing nerve damage. Practitioners noted his improved mood and self-esteem during a post-op assessment a month later. “He reported improvement in self-esteem and self-confidence and his ability to complete school work, and was looking forward to enrolling at university,” the report revealed.

TL;DR he's only sorry he got caught

[compassionatereminders]

"Self harming is bad, so we need to prevent people from doing it by all means possible" is an ideology that completely ignores that shaming and punishing people by denying them autonomy because you don't approve of how they cope is ALSO bad and is very unlikely to actually help someone develop better coping skills

Do you see how nice it is not to have to worry or fight? Just to let yourself be looked after?

I watched all the Saw films for the first time in october and I haven't been able to stop thinking about chainshipping (and Saw in general) since then. Thank you sawtism, I owe you my life!!! 🙏🪚♾️

These last weeks I'm having yuri chainshipping brainworms and I'm so happy for all the art/fanfics/etc, you all are amazing! 🥺😭💖

Designs inspired by @turnipoddity and @thesunpapaya, and Lawrence's name idea by @adam-stanheights-right-hip-bone 🫂💖💖💖

Saw rapidly became SO dear to me and helped my longass artblock, so I hope I can continue making more art of it! (I already have more sketches but I'm too slow 😭💔)

something to recognize that choosing recovery again and again is difficult work, and you are not weak for faltering
