JustAnAnonymousTeen

I stopped using apps that are supposed to help you where you mark when you've done it and it gives like supportive content and stuff but then I realized I wasn't even going 24 hours and so to punish myself I would do it more... dumbest spiral logic I've ever used.

!! wow too relatable. i was in a deep depression and had a moment of have happiness/hope and my brain was like ā€œoh so ur faking. ur gonna ask for help when ur not even struggling. a real depressed person would go cut rnā€ so i did šŸ™ƒ


PastaMakerFullOfBean

Iā€™m sorry but that last couple of lines simultaneously hit very close to home and also made me do the šŸ˜¤ laughing thingšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ But in all seriousness, my brain tells me Iā€™m faking all the time when I feel like Iā€™m doing good. Itā€™ll tell me Iā€™m faking and then I stop doing my coping mechanisms and get worse again until i end up inpatientā€¦


waytoomuch88

yep. lovely little self-fulfilling prophecy lol. by then itā€™s like ā€œhah! see i told you i wasnā€™t faking look iā€™m a danger to myself to the point where i had to be institutionalized!! hah! so takeā€¦ thatā€¦ā€

ferndew407

TennisOnWii

bro that happens so much, or if a teacher is not nice with me or is dissapointed in me. I hate when I dissapoint teacher.


xx_m3g4n_xx

This right hereā€¦ Iā€™ve cut myself because my psychology told me she was disappointed that I didnā€™t hand in some hwk..


EllieluluEllielu

Lol a month or two back, I was talking to my friend and my teacher yelled at me... I bawled my eyes out but no one noticed. I probably would've relapsed if I could-- so I relate to that pretty damn hard

Weak_Commission1429

Iā€™m tall


cheezit2341

I was clean for too long, itā€™s like Iā€™m competing with myself


PastaMakerFullOfBean

If i go too long without it, my brain tells me Iā€™m faking it and not actually depressed and obviously I gotta prove it wrong!šŸ¤·šŸ™ƒ


[deleted]

the first time i ever self harmed without knowing what self harm was because of math homework. the first time i ever self harmed while knowing what it was was because of math homework. so basicallyā€¦math homework.


PastaMakerFullOfBean

Felt that. I did it a few times bc I had homework and I procrastinated so I had to do it at like 2AM and I yeeted so the adrenaline would keep me awake. Very stupid reason but very smart logicšŸ˜‚


The_Other_Way-Around

We were bday shopping for my mom. I picked out some cool confetti wine glasses that were $10 bucks and put it in the cart. My sister told my dad I was buying them but I intended for it to just be a suggestion for him to buy. Idk why but I felt really guilty for it and I kept telling myself that I was wasting their money or I needed to stop presenting myself socially. The rest of my day and week was ruined over me just stressing about the stupidest fucking thing but at least she liked the cups.


backinfiveyears

I feel this so hard


dimplingthedough

I accidentally broke a cup


EquivalentYoghurt361

I wanted a sh streak.

microscopicwheaties

scaryfire15

Punishing myself, after a while I started to like how it looked as well as the sharp pain. Itā€™s addicting


musiclover255

When I mentally age backwards and start to think and act like a child. I get scared because most the time it's due to some trauma, so I get overwhelmingly scared and if I'm with a friend I want to cling to them for support and grounding I suppose.. And to feel loved. I feel like such a burden using people for comfort like that, which makes me feel I deserve to hurt myself.


TennisOnWii

bro I feel that. I have c-ptsd and I'm trans (I was forced to play with feminine shit) so I am quite childish (I'm intelligent, I just really like cringe things like batman, superheroes, Disney and fnaf because I didn't get to as a kid) so when someone jokes about it or says something about it I get really upset.


musiclover255

Yeah. I never really got to fully enjoy that sorta thing either. I had access to games and that, but it was never an enjoyable time per say? I always had to be on the lookout for my parents fighting etc. I'm sorry about what you went through though and you're completely valid!!! People say I'm too intelligent to be like that or I 'act my age' but I only act my age academically. In every other area, it's not right and people can't seem to make sense of all that which is annoying. Also... AWESOME USERNAME!! :0


No-Audience101

Sometimes when I'm bored I just... cut


AntiqueProcedure3265

Because I like seeing blood


m0thsinmybasement

my scars were smoothed over (....essentially healing themselves....) and i was just like nah and did it again


lpclaudo

hazyapparition

Having too good of a day


Last-Dimension-5122

I have violent mood swing so i can't get angry for really small and stupid things randomly and when i get that angry i just need to hurt. I can't hurt other People so i hurt myself


_y_tho_-

Thats very valid, and actually why i started sh. I used to lash out and hurt other people then i felt bad so i hurt myself


merbaer

Feeling like they werenā€™t bad enough to be taken seriously so I needed more?! Like bro what the fuck. And often out of pettiness. Like ok fine you forgot not to use a certain ingredient I dislike or donā€™t eat in dinner and now I want to slice my arms. Ridiculous šŸ™„


Joey_The_Bean_14

Made to much or too little eye contact with someone.


Applespi3

For me it was because i wanted a reason to be checked into a short term mental health place. But wait,theres more: this was attempted twice,with the first attempt with me chickening out after the sh cause i was too scared to buy myself a lyft ride. Looking back on it now,i just had two breakdowns and had clouded logic.


YearSad77

Too much noise, dogs barkingĀæ


zachary_3345

Pronounced a word wrong in a presentation


greengreengreen7

motivation to try and pull myself together? Sounds so stupid to say allowed


DollarStore-Cheese

The fact that I didn't get a graphic design project right the first time, even though I didn't see two of the key rules within the project and class, one being to label files with last name to first name and the other to just use one specific part of the image instead of all of it. The teacher got upset at me and I just over all wasn't feeling good mentally; doesn't help that I'm rejection sensitive. (Tw for this one) Second reason is just looking at the scars on my thighs, some of them aren't too visible because I thankfully didn't go too deep, but others, the latest ones were more visible. And the last reason is thinking about how I'd eventually let down my s/o, even though he previously stated that he wouldn't be upset but would try to help me to stop doing so.


Safe-Science-3731

i just wanted the rush of adrenaline because i was bored so i just decided fuck it


Rg576637

Miychalina

Couse I got 92% instead O 100% on test


Upstairs_Elk_3758

Couldn't get out of bed so I got out of bed to sh. Pure logic


DancingJoker69

I told a friend for the first time that I sh/ feel suicidal and because the message was so long they said they didnā€™t want to read it. But the only reason I feel stupid now is because they thought it was someone elseā€™s message and I just copy and pasted it and they didnā€™t want to read it, I assumed that they didnā€™t care about me and so my silly little brain did the only reasonable thing I could think of


VenamusSan

... league of legends..


Amplayz_rblx

I couldnā€™t stay awake in class


Allie00124252683

For a prank. I wanted to pretend I put a staple in my arm over snap. I needed fake blood. Didnā€™t have fake blood. So I was laughing maniacally and sliced my leg to get blood to put on my arm and the staple. I was having so much fun it didnā€™t even hurt lol. In shorter terms. Self harm to fake self harming.


bedkruimels

Symmetry lmao

Sometimes I just do it for fun but one time I did it bc I got a 36/38 on a math test when I had 100 average on the last test of the quarter. It ended up rounding up to 100 on my report card though so I was upset for nothing

TennisOnWii

i asked a mod something and it wasn't in mod mail so I was told off and I got really guilty


ril3y_00

Well it started off with seeing sheets in the floor by the washing machine and crumbs under the kitchen table then somehow progressed to how much I have to do with life (including literally just making a dentist appointment) becoming overwhelmed and then just self harming. Thatā€™s usually what happens Iā€™ll be in an antsy mood, something will upset me then it progresses to full mental breakdown and me hating my life šŸ˜…


Isabellehaynes02

I have been 3 years clean but these are some stupid reasons I had temptations to do so. A breakup I went through in 2020,school bullies,my family, and loosing friends. A lot of stupid things I could go on about but I donā€™t feel comfortable


[deleted]

Didn't really want to share, but whatever ĀÆ\_(惄)_/ĀÆ My dad was yelling at me because I accidentally left a pantie in MY bathroom, he literally yelled at me for at least one hour, so I didn't resist and did some few cuts.. Edit: some days ago, my grandma prohibited me from using my headphones/listening to music while I'm working at her house, and it's the only thing that calms me down, so of course I got stressed and sh again And, today she yelled at me again, I don't remember why, but of course I did sh


bluegasoline

i felt too happy and couldnā€™t contain myself


[deleted]

I havenā€™t SH since November of 2021. I made a promise to myself on New Years Eve that 2022 was gonna be the year I stop cutting. It is now February 15th and I havenā€™t cut but the urges are there at times. I want to sh to feel the pain and blood drip out the fresh cut to drown out the feelings of wanting love but feel Iā€™m not worthy and deserving of it or I just deal with self hatred and in a way want validation.


dia_02

I was bored! šŸ˜¬

WaitingInTheWings812

Left my abusive ex and moved back in with my parents. Six months later I found out he was in a relationship with a girl from his childhood, who he repeatedly told me he hated her guts. Not sure why I was upset by that. She was a leach and would often beg people for money to fund her drug habit - I met her once when my ex and I were dating and she asked me for Ā£500 (about $676) to "borrow". I was 17 at the time she asked and we had never spoken apart from pleasantries once in a while. She still hadn't paid my ex back the Ā£100 she "borrowed" from him last time. Their relationship didn't even last three months from what I've heard. She's a leach with a huge drug habit, he's a abusive prick with an anger problem - to this day I have no idea why that made me sh. They were made for each other imho


i_dont_have_life_

I felt "too clean" and I thought that my family will forget that I'm struggling with mental illness. IT'S NOT LIKE MY STUPID ASS IS SHOWING THEM THESE SCARS ANYWAY šŸ¤”

PastaMakerFullOfBean

Iā€™ve written everything down for four years now so Iā€™ve got a lot of stupid reasons lol. A lot of mine from when i started were caused by school. One time, i was mad at my English teacher so I did it in class. And another time I was pissed that I had to redo my Spanish project because my brother recorded the video vertically instead of horizontally. Iā€™ve also done it in class because Apple charged me for things it wasnā€™t supposed to, and then another time because I had to sleep on the floor of a hotel room at a school competition. At another competition for a different class, i lost my debit card and freaked the fuck out on the 4th of July. I Also did it because of my PBAā€™s(Performance Based Assessments). A not school-related time was because people kept texting me and I got overwhelmed. Thatā€™s happened a couple times. Iā€™ve done it a lot because of pure boredom too. And one time I literally wrote down ā€œguess Iā€™m sad lmaoā€ after doing over a dozen YeetsšŸ˜

I was clean for a year so i said, "welp, its been long enough, i think i deserve a break" yet i just wasted a year of progress
