Self-harm - When you’re an Adult 

I have pretty much the same issue.

I'm 29 now, I've been self-harming on and off since the age of 16. I never really wanted to quit. Sometimes I don't feel the need to do it for 6 months, sometimes I cut myself daily. I kinda just see it as a symptom of my illness at this point.

🥰Thank you for sharing some love❤️And thank you for watching

Thank you for sharing this. I’m 37 and in recent months I’ve relapsed. Including tonight. I felt so stupid yet so relieved by it. Actually seeing someone my age is also in this cycle has helped me realise I’m not immature and idiotic for doing it. I needed to see your comment tonight, so thank you so much. Know you’ve helped someone lay down the blade tonight and stop them doing more harm.

@@ManchesterVicky big hugs your worth it, your comment has also helped me toox

Glad someone else found it hilarious 😂

Thank you for watching ☺️ You’re absolutely right, it’s very hard to stop

But hey, I'm not at all afraid of blood like some of my coworkers are and I am awesome at first aid. I don't shame the kids if they manage to have a relapse while under our care. I just take them to the nurses station and patch them up (and tell the on-call therapist obviously)

I’m not a super serious person; I take mental health seriously but better to feel at ease when discussing it. I’m glad it made you chuckle; and thank you for recommending; the message has reached many 🖤

😢😔 I’m sorry to hear this

@@YouthPotentiali am gonna try, i won’t give up. ❤️

@@RandiCuteAngel Good luck friend, you have our support and love

Same age as me. I hope this video was relatable 🙏 And thank you for watching 🖤

Did you spend 15 years without self harming?

That’s quite common; and I appreciate you for being open about it. I hope this video is relatable

Thanks for voting and watching. Knowing is half the battle; remembering is another big chunk. I’m glad this video acted as a reminder 🖤

Same age as me then. It’s hard not to feel the shame, especially when children can see it. I have two children and cover everything when I go and see them. But with the shame it will fade away when the time is right, but I’m sure you already know this. Keep up the fight, I know it’s tough though. I appreciate you taking the time to comment, share your experience and watching the video

Thank you for your kind words. I am nervous to usually leave even a small comment in many very good and interesting videos . Because I get worried if I might be viewed differently by others in the Digital World lol aka RU-vid since I may get confused about how I am trying to type out my thoughts . I really appreciate all your videos. I also had a sad painful 😣 💔 past experience which included with my nieces who were young back 10 years which might seem long ago yet children are extremely smart and 2 younger my nieces both noticed and one ran to her legitimate toy first aid toy say to me to come sit down on the couch " Auntie Mar please sit down you need you get clean , as the 1st niece who is youngest had already been trying to grab my wrist which I had a scars which I did not realize it still healing it had started little bleed which made me crying while I heading home . Because of how I might have made nieces view things since I do worry about their happiness at times due to loss of the head of home and family was my father .who I have not talked to after my biological brother and his baby momma had stopped any family at all after my father lost his fight with stage 4 lung cancer and bladder cancer . It has been difficult many times with my father's loss in March 2017 .

I hope you have been able to get help.
