When I get frustrated or highly upset I basically end up using my vape as a freaking weapon and hitting myself in the head with it (side note: Ik it’s bad please don’t mention it) anyways tho it always leave these gash like marks and I end up being embarrassed about it so I just tell people I feel or something At this point it’s happened so many times idk what to o anymore and I’m scared to get professional help becuase I know something like a mental hospital isn’t gonna help

      Hey, im new to this app so im not sure what we're allowed to say or do but I can 110% understand this and sadly i do the same, i had to switch out my chonky mod for a lil puff bar because it was getting bad. What personally helped me was kind of replacing that with something softer, still not good to be taking out our stuggles on ourselves, but honestly i started hitting myself or screaming into pillows and then shifted that energy over to my art and channeled everything i was angry at and how i wanted to express such anger in my drawings or stories and then either burnt it (we had a wood stove at the time so it was easy/not dangerous) or shred it up and trash it and told myself that once it's gone, it's gone, no reason to focus on it anymore, and then lately I've been journaling to myself, apologizing for hurting my body because it's not deserving of that, and neither is yours ❤️ i hope your journey is a healthy battle, it's not always a winning one, but i do pray and hope it's a healthy one where you grow beautifully into the soul you've always been destined to be

      are you able to change what you use? maybe instead of your vape, you could use a bottle of mascara? just the idea of using something different could closely help you take back control in the situation. really proud of you for reaching out 💗
