Struggling with Self Harm Addiction

I have the same feeling and it makes me feel like some sort of monster that I want to see myself bleed

I crave it everyday. Whenever I’m stressed my arms and legs start to sting like a fresh cut. I try to just scratch with my fingers or rub harshly without leaving a mark. It’s really hard I understand.

I’m only a little over a month clean, but I can definitely relate! Something I’ve tried is painting red lines where you want to self harm, and then after letting it dry, either peel or rinse it off. It works pretty well for me.

Hey, it’s really hard to overcome that addiction. It took me years, and I still crave it. If you ever wanna talk or anything, feel free to hit me up. You’re not alone. ❤️
