Uh a lot of stuff. Causing your body pain or damage, as those things don’t always go together. Also mental SH like anxiety and guilt are things, or hyperfixating on depression is def SH

‘Self harm’ 

literally in the name

Not self harm? Seek out a therapist or other professional? Forgive or accept yourself, knowing you have flaws that you can and should pursue overcoming, but don’t have to literally harm yourself for failing to overcome?!?

Seriously, what keeps you from seeking out a professional? I don’t mean to guilt you, but it really scares me when you say stuff like this.

I think you yourself could answer the question better, but i would say 

no,

yes.

[Honors Spectral Image She/her]

Or hitting yourself repeatedly with a stick until it bruises and bleeds a little?

Geez guys every time i think i have it bad yall say something like this and i realize im really not that depressed at all

I’m here for you, just to reiterate, please, please, don’t hurt yourself. I struggle with it and it’s useless, and could land you thousands of dollars in hospital bills

i just really don't want to

never have

 

Spoiler

It just.. scares me. I remember sitting in the waiting room once at the Dr's, and i saw posters/signs for like... idk mental health or something, and I was scared there was something wrong with me, cuz I was... not necessarily in the best place, per se? But like I REALLY didn't want them to find out. It's a bit complicated and I'm not gonna explain. But I've always been reluctant talking with someone (especially, like, IRL people or family or doctors/therapists) about when I think I might have a serious issue. I can't explain it but I just don't want to see anyone for these things. Whenever they ask the screening questions about "ate you suicidal?" "are you a danger to yourself or others?" etc. etc. I just say no and how my voice doesn't quiver. cuz usually "no" is the accurate answer... I think.

So if I go to a therapist and say "hey, uh, I've been having some issues with self-harm and suicidal thoughts I think." I CAN'T DO THAT!!! There can't be anything wrong with me that other people know too. If something's wrong with me, it's gotta be known to only me and maybe some strangers on the internet.

I’m not doing anything that could cost me hospital bills if my parents see bruises I fell, if they see scratches they’ll just figure I did something stupid again and I’m not doing anything that could leave scars or anything permanent or just deliberately doing things in ways that I know will hurt like walking through forests with no sleeves so I get scratches that sting for a while

Well, to fair, there’s nothing wrong with you. Look how many other people struggle with stuff like this, it’s not a good thing, but you’re not broken. Plus, therapists are sworn to secrecy, will listen to you even when you interrupt, will never judge you and are in my opinion too kind.

like, do you want it to go away? You don’t have to he ashamed, it’s a fact of life. Imma storming die one day, and that sucks. 

There is stuff i tell my therapist that I don’t tell yall

[Honors Spectral Image She/her]

It always confuses me a little when people are scared of death, I don’t welcome my death but there is a bit of morbid curiosity in me that can’t wait to see which of any religion is right and all that

Death doesn’t really scare me either. Either I’m right, and I *probably* go to heaven, or I’m wrong, and I get to sleep forever. Which is one of my ideal afterlives.

No they won’t 

literally asked my therapist about that

they will only call the cops (or actually EMS) if you show them that you have attempted suicide and legitimately need medical attention to be alive. So if you talk about being suicidal but not talking about committing suicide, or SH, you are fine. And you can lie to your therapist.
