i cant stop fantasising about killing myself.

When does this suffering end?

I'm so tired...I can't take much more.

[hoeshisl-t]

honestly i wish i never reached out for help in the first place bc now i can’t even cut or starve in peace. i feel like an idiot

[floweryaya]

i thought i was free

of cuts and bleeds

but then it felt like

the dark times came again

and i could not restrain

and i cut myself again

i killed the pain

with another kind of pain

oh how i loved to see

the blood coming out

the red sea of my own life

directed by a silver blade

whether there was nothing i felt

or there was too much feelings

when something was overwhelming

it was my only escape

my only friend

the only one who listened and helped

the only one who could save me in matters of this temporary life

I have a distinct memory of laying in my bed as a kid and wishing with all my heart that I would get hurt. That I would get into a bad car crash or I'd disappear. So my parents would cry and realize they didn't cherish me enough.

I find it sad that younger me thought she had to get hurt to feel loved.

I hate it when someone says ‘what you’re feeling is all in your head’ yeah, if you went through some of the shit that I went through, you wouldn’t be saying that.

[borderlineangel222]

why should i voice my pain to my parents when i can just stab myself in the heart for the same result

Self harm doesn’t always happen when a blade touches skin.

It’s skipping meals because you don’t feel like you deserve to eat today. It’s drinking recklessly because you might have the ‘courage’ do something stupid. It’s smoking - not because you need the nicotine - because you know it’s bad for you. It’s banging your head against a wall when you’re angry. It’s crossing the road without looking because you lowkey hope a car might hit you. It’s thinking about all the ways you could break a bone and make it look like an accident. It’s not taking painkillers because you want to suffer. It’s taking painkillers in excess because you know it’s dangerous. It’s walking home the more dangerous way because you’re kind of half hoping you’ll get attacked or raped or stabbed. It’s going for long walks at night and getting chilled to the bone and hoping that you get lost so that you can’t find your way back. It’s seeking out triggering material. It’s all the stupid little ways you punish yourself for existing.

Sometimes self harm happens when you put effort into depriving yourself of things you like or need, and sometimes it happens when you don’t put any effort into doing the things you like or need.

It’s a pattern of self-destructive behaviour, and it doesn’t only happen in one way.

This sort of behavior is classified as “para-suicidal” It’s putting yourself in a situation of danger or destruction with the intention of risking your safety rather than a direct attempt on your life. Kind of, leaving it all to chance? Also doing things to harm yourself or your self worth because you feel you deserve to feel the outcome of those actions.

Hold back the tears is a horrible thing: the throat burns, the nose too, you breathe badly and you repeat yourself "not here".
