Self-Harm Addiction
Hey, I'm Ollie
I've struggled with self harm for about 4 going on 5 years and it's gone from everyday to once a month. Within the last week I've reverted to it and like I said it is a monthly thing. It's how I keep myself alive because when I do that it prolongs me from just checking out of life. I also keep track of how many and what the causes are. The past 3 have all been explicitly because I didn't want to be alive. I'm not sure if anyone else understands this but I figured I'd share it to see. Does anyone else have this problem?
Hey there. I know exactly how you feel I'm about 5 years self harm free but back when I did do it I would do it every time I felt like not wanting to live. 2 things helped me stop 1 my now husband made me promise not to do it anymore or he would leave, sounds bad when I type it but there's more to it then that and 2 I got all tattooed up and still get them. When I start feeling depressed I go get another tattoo it's almost like it's a substitute for iself harm for me I guess. The whole process of the tattoo and self harm just almost match. I know this probably doesn't help you much but I thought it might a little.
