Does this even count? -

This thread has been labeled as triggering by the original poster or by a Moderator. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.
Yes i have read the 'Is this self harm' sticky but i still don't think it applies to me. maybe its just denial. I don't know. Lately, everything has fallen appart. I have lost a best friend who was supposed to help me through this and i have fallen deeper than before. A month ago i made attempt two, and failed miserably. I feel like such and utter failure right now. So what do i do? I hurt myself. Alright i do not think this should count but you tell me. You know those things you get off a new shaving razor? Well, if you scrap that across your skin, it digs in pretty well. It only leaves little dots of blood and feels *to me* almost as good as cutting. I don't really think it counts as self harm but i don't know. All the pressure around me is pushing me to it. My parents are pressuring me to get good grades, stay a good kid, be a good example, ect. My friends are pressuring me to eat and to stop hanging out with the kids that do drugs, stop letting people give me bruises, ect. I just don't even know what to do anymore. I really hate all of this but i figured out i don't even know if i can stop anymore...
"My ship went down In a sea of sound When I woke up alone I had everything A hand full of moments I wished I could change and a tounge like a nightmare That cut like a blade In a city of fools I was careful and cool but they tore me apart like a hurricane A hand full of moments I wished I could change but I was carried away Give me therapy I'm a walking travesty But I'm smiling on everything Therapy you were never a friend to me and you can keep all your misery" |

that def sounds like ligit self harm. anything that you do on purpose that hurts yourself is self harm. check out the alternatives thread. espically if its just stress that triggers you those might help some. if you ever need to talk or vent or anything at all, shoot me a pm

Any harm you cause yourself on purpose (such as for the release of stress) I would consider self harm. It's an unhealthy way of coping with life and I assume you do these things because you're stressed or upset. I also count letting others hurt you as self-harm also, just a way of tricking yourself into thinking it's not. Sometimes it's even emotional or mental instead of just physical.
It's never an easy thing to admit to anyone, even yourself, that you've fallen into the habits of self-harm. It's definitely not a healthy way to cope with things and is a bad thing to get into. Just know that we'll all be here to help you through this and to help you recover once you're willing to go through that too. Try some of the alternatives to see if those help and let us know if there's anything you need to talk about. We're here to help if you need us.

If you are attempting to self harm, and you're feeling depressed.
In school we learnt about teen depression. We got told that if we or others were suffering depression to get help from a psychiatric or go to your doctor for help, and they will tell you where to go from there. Apparently, depression IS an illness and should be treated, try and browse for websites to tell you where to go. Quote:
