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

    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. 🧸
