Things that can be considered SH #mentalhealth #help

It really gets to me when people say “that’s not real self harm, your not cutting yourself it’s not real self harm”

The day I realized I was self harming in more ways than one... Thank you for opening my eyes.

[AlpineCanHowl]

thank you so much for this!! ive been told my sh wasnt 'real' because i wasnt c-tt!ng myself. its really great that awareness is being spread.

I used to do all of these in school and nobody noticed. They were too busy talking to their other friends while I was just sitting there alone. I finally found peace last November. Thank you Cat Lynn

[RoseD-ob]

I'm so glad you said this because people forget that this is a way of SH.

[Ace-Of_Hearts.]

I myself, am prone to SH. But your vids helps me to get better. I will really be very happy if you reply to this comment. I love your vids.

This is a great way to show people that not all self harm is done with a sharp object. Sometimes it’s done more discreetly or without realising you’re doing it because it can become a terrible habit. I myself do a lot of these and this helped me be more aware of what I was doing. So my thanks to you Cat Lyn. (Apologies if I spelt that wrong). I hope this helps many people.

I do the first 2 just as a habit, but I’m glad someone FINALLY said that SH can be shown in different ways!! (I’ve been clean for 168 days as of writing this! ^^)

I used to scar myself from scratching at my hand due to anxiety, and i never knew it was a considered SH as well until my therapist caught me doing it.

[Horror_obsessed_nerd]

I’ve done all sorts of self harm for many years including cutting, skin picking, degrading myself with mean words and I’m finally 3 months clean! I’m happy that awareness about these things is being shared

[MochiLvr]

I didn’t know that. I scratch, bite, and smacking myself as ways to “deal” with my anxiety, and I never knew that they were considered SH. Thank you for this information!!!

Thank you for bringing attention to the lesser talked about forms of SH
I hope more people see this and realize SH isn't only cutting yourself and support their friends/family more

[SheniyahHayes]

I sat here crying after i saw this. Ive been doing sh in ways it wouldn't be noticeable. Thank you Cat lynn.

[IdentityCRISISswag]

Thank you for saying this. This brought to my attention that I have been doing all this stuff and I wasn’t sure what to refer to it as, I feel much more valid after seeing this.

I pinch, hit, and bit myself a lot. It’s usually when I get upset and am trying to hold in feelings. This really opened up my eyes. Thank you <3

[Nutella_Wolf]

Thank you for this... I do most of these and I didn't think it was actual SH, but this helped me understand that harming yourself doesn't always include knives ❤️

[Turtle_lover.]

Thank you for this, people really need to know that cutting is not the only SH method

[sipstea_sharklover]

I have a health condition called POTS and i have to do certain things to make sure my blood pressure stays normal... but sometimes i dont, because i feel like i deserver to suffer.

Selfharm can be in so many different forms. It isnt just cutting.

[Kai_in_the_woods]

I was on autopilot and biting my finger until I saw this, honestly we need more people like you here ❤

[MonniZ]

I feel so messed up. I never even considered all this SH. I thought it had to be cutting to be valid. I literally do these all the time, scratch my arms too hard they go red, bang my head into the wall or smack it with my hands, pick at my face, rip out my hair and nails so it bleeds, binge eat till it hurts, bite my hands and fingers to leave indentations, literally yell at myself and talk doen on myself, plus cutting on rare occasion if i get super triggered i want to unalive that i havent done in a long while and trying to stop, off and on for years... I'm trying so hard to be better for me. Its so hard. I feel like a failure and dont do anything right. So much i hate myself... but you make me feel seen and heard Catlynn, i really appreciate your kindness and caring for all of us. I never had someone in my life who truly understands what i go through the way that you do. Thank you ❤ you're an angel 😊
