competitive SH urges
hi I’m Danni uhm so i’m reaching out because i found out that my mother started to self harm as well… it’s a really long story but we have a very bad relationship. i started to distance myself the last two months but now that i now how strongly she struggles i feel like i have to take care of her again.. i feel like i’m the mother
yeah well but ever since i saw her SH my brain invalidates me so much i feel like i’m just doing this for attention and that i’m copying her (even tho j think i did it before she started) and that i’m just faking all this
also it’s like my SH has to be worse than hers cause otherwise i feel weak? god this sounds stupid…

Hey Danni,
I'm sorry to hear that both you and her are struggling with self harm. I'm sorry to hear about your bad relationship. I understand because of her self harm you feel like you have to take care of her again. I understand you brain feeling like your doing for attention even though you're not. Have you tried any alternative coping skills? If so did they work? Please know you're not alone and 7 cups is beside you during this time. Please take care of yourself and your mental health. I hope this message finds you in a better place soon. Stay safe and healthy. 💗
