TW: Self Harm Today is Self Harm and Self Injury Awareness Day. People always seem surprised when I talk about self harming, especially when I mention that I’ve never cut etc. I self harmed by; - showering/washing/shaving until my skin bled and blistered - not eating, drinking, showering, or even taking my meds - isolating myself from loved ones And these are just a few of the harmful behaviours I’ve engaged in to cope with my OCD, PTSD, Anxiety and Depression. There are so many behaviours that are self harm, and I think it’s super important we talk about all of them, why people engage in these behaviours, and how we can reach recovery despite them. #selfharmawarenessday #selfinjuryawarenessday https://www.instagram.com/p/B9MVUXzBd_R/?igshid=18zzp2c60klec

Put your hand over your heart. Feel that? That hammer-like rhythm, those lively little drum beats? That's your purpose. You are here for a reason, so you go live and fulfill it. 🌻 Today is #selfharmawarenessday 🦋 I'm posting as part of the challenge to encourage every soul out there to cling to the hope that, YES it will be better. Surely, there's no forgetting the times when we grapple with our inner monsters (and lost repeatedly). That times we felt like tears are the only thing left in us and we still spill them out until we feel hollow. The hours that drag on like eternities when we feel sadness curling up next to us like a second person. The moments we thought we lost the ability to laugh again. But, there's also no forgetting the time we realized, hope is not trying to play some sick game of hide-and-seek with us; that it's inside us all along and we just need to let it out. That happiness can be a choice, and as for me it can just be one pen, one good book, one right song or one warm hug away if I let it. That Big Guy upstairs is always there to help us. We can let sadness cozy up beside us as long as we do not let it permanently soak our spirit. There's no life hack wherein you'll never get the blues again, but what you can guarantee is that there's an unlimited amount of joy and sunlight out there that you can feed your soul. Choose to bathe yourself in them. Choose to live. If anyone out there feels so down and empty, do not hesitate to reach out. Reach out and talk; sometimes your voice is your only weapon against depression. #selfinjuryawarenessday #mentalhealthmatters #youareenough #youarewanted #loveyourself #;
