Them: “Are you ok?”

Me: “Not really no. I’m struggling with my mental health”

Them: “Why? What’s wrong?”

Me: “I don’t know. I honestly don’t know”.

“Who are you?” They asked.

But the who bounced off all my bones and came back without an answer. I couldn’t tell you who I am. but please don’t ask me what I am because I would have so many answers for you

I don't usually do this but I'm struggling. Im so utterly lonely and I just need someone to talk to. Im on the verge of giving up and I guess I just need a friend.

I would like to clarify to my newer followers that I am not an ED page, and I've actually recovered from anorexia in the past year. and although I have no issue with ED blogs, I will be blocking anyone who posts pro-ED content or rubs me the wrong way. we're here for pretty pictures and silly posts, and although we sometimes vent about heavy shit, this is not the space for promoting disordered behavior, girlies. let's promote healthy behaviors whenever we can, 'kay?

Me: damn it was harsh of the Batch to leave Crosshair on the platform without even his weapon to hunt for food

Me: … maybe it was a good thing he didn’t have his weapon after a month of isolation and starvation 😨

immediately I have made a Mistake

Self-harm is not fun.

Stop romantizing self harm. It's not some edgy aesthetic.

Having your family immediately suspect you when any of the knives or scissors go missing is not fun.

Your family checking your body and arms is not fun.

People asking about your scars is not fun.

Making up lies to keep yourself from pity is not fun.

Self-harm. Is. Not. Fun.

Your family going "what the fuck?" When just seeing your healed scars is not fun.

Having a limp from your cuts is not fun.

People not being convinced your healing/okay bc of your old scars is not fun.

These marks will never go away. Anyone who decides to love me is gonna have to be pretty fucking progressive.

Self-harm is not fun.

im a mutual sending this bc i saw you getting hate on that post again but im shy - honestly as a person who used to self-harm when i was younger and still does on infrequent occasions your post was deeply validating.

when i was in intensive care a lot of the time self-harming behavior was automatically conflated with suicidality, when that was never the case for me: i never cut deep enough or in locations where i could have hurt myself in a life-threatening way. cutting was a release valve for extreme stress or feelings of guilt and shame too big to deal with in a "healthy" way at the time because of the circumstances i was in.

ive had to lie to numerous professionals about my self-harming (either the details or that i do it at all) because they assume that i am in need of intensive care and sometimes attempt to institutionalize me instead of listening to me when i say that it's not a risk to my physical health and that there are other far more important factors putting my mental health at risk than the action of self-harm ("poverty" and "being abused", for starters).

also note on my second lil paragraph: although it wasn't the case for me, i feel it necessary to note that i believe people who self-harm due to suicidal ideation or are self-harming in a life-threatening way are also entitled to that agency over their behavior. something that was actually very important for me in dealing with my own suicidality was acknowledging the reality of it. rather than shying away from the question and the idea with "suicide isn't an option" type language, what helped me was framing it as just another choice that i was free to make or not make. it became less taboo and less scary, and therefore easier to deal with because there wasn't as much shame and fear in the mix. what made me stop wanting to kill myself as much as i had before was acknowledging that suicide WAS an option, it just wasn't my BEST option. a similar thing has begun to happen to me with self-harm, now that I've moved out of the abusive situation i grew up in - self-harm is still an option i have in my back pocket for emergencies to deal with feelings, and im allowed to do it, it's just not my best option now that i have more space and time to be myself.
