Elastic band replacing self harm?
I've recently had a bf who changed my life. When i told him i SH- he was so loving and caring. For the first time a bf listened to my probs n helped me. my SH stopped, i grew confident n i felt much happier about life.
alas, the boy dumped me over myspace suddenly 1 morning. this, after everything i'd been through with him, sent me downwards n i slashed my wrist with the thought- 'this is for thinking that anyone really cared that you did this'. stupid n somewhat childish/emo i know.
my point is, i've recently thought. right. he helped me get this far. we're still mates, even though he broke my heart and i wanna prove to him i can get over it!
ive resorted to snapping elastic bands on my arm now. but now i have big purple bruises.
this normal? if so when will theY fade? theyre not directly on the wrist but the lower arm near elbow. Hiding it is really hard; i thought they'd fade in an hour or so!
or am i just overdoin it and need to tone it down a bit?
Thanks in advance :] <3
Elastic band replacing self harm?I'm a therapist and I agree with all the folks here who speak from personal experience that you need to speak with a professional that can help you explore healthier alternatives. The longer you wait, the harder it gets, so please seek some assistance. Cutting really only works for a while and eventually it'll lose its charm and you may find yourself cutting deeper and more often in order to achieve the same effect.
