Hate myself ~ {Self Harm}

Everything hidden in a spoiler is probably triggering and is related to self harm


I did my first counselling session today and the lady was so nice but I completely shut down and kept
scratching my hands
it’s not a new thing for me I’ve done it in the past when I did counselling elsewhere but it was never picked up on but the lady saw it and pointed it out and wrote it down…

After the session I did it again in the toilets and I went to find Janis but she wasn’t in so now waiting for Emma :(

I feel so stupid I just get so stressed out and can never regulate myself :(

Edit: I spoke to Emma and she had a look at it so my new SH is okay and has also been seen by a first aider
Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

    It’s not stupid. You were worried about the counselling but you went and did it!! I know it didn’t exactly go well but I’m proud of you for going.

    Also, random but I used to sh just like that. I thought it was just me.

    proud of you rose always am <3
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸
