Physical pain is much better than mental..

I used to struggle with self-harm, but since joining the gym, I haven't felt the urge to hurt myself. The gym has become my safe space, providing a healthy outlet for my emotions and a boost to my self-esteem. The physical activity, supportive community, and focus on self-improvement have made a huge difference in my mental health. If you're going through something similar, I encourage you to find a positive activity that can help you ...

Anyone ever had this odd sensation? Is it an urge?

Hey,

I used to carve when I went through a very bad depression. After therapy a decade ago, I managed to stop that particular kind of self-harm.

However, now whenever I'm low on energy, I sort of 'feel' it on my arm? Like a light touch... It feels the way it used to when I was hesitant at those times, only now I'm not doing anything.

Is this my mind trying to tempt me to ...

I had an idea last month

First of all, I don't know if this is the right place to post this so take my apologies in advance if it isn't.


Last month I had a thought similar to the "call of the void" or "high place phenomenon". Which is when you take a step towards the edge of a bridge or a cliff wondering how would it feel to jump. Or when you drive down and consider swerving into the opposite ...

Strong urges

I have been fighting strong urges to self harm for over 3 weeks now. I'm even dreaming about it now. There is a small part of me that doesn't want to, but I fear the bigger part will win. With my therapist out of the office for almost 1 month now, I really don't have anyone to talk to about it.

For I have ...

Hi

Hi Everyone,

It has been a long time but I just wanted to pop in and say hello. I also wanted to say for those of you who are struggling that things can get better. I was in such a dark and self harming place but I have managed to heal. I still have scars but my partner loves me despite all of that and, whilst I don’t love them, I think I can live ...
