The self-harm Project

nialltimelowx:

I heard that you’ve been,
Self-medicating in the quiet of your room,
Your sweet, suburban tomb,
But if you need a friend,
I’ll help you stitch up your wounds,
I heard that you’ve been,
Having some trouble finding your place in the world,
I know how much that hurts,
And if you need a friend,
Then please just say the word…

You’ve come this far,
You’re all cleaned up,
You made a mess again,
There’s no more trying,
Time to sort yourself out…

Hold on tight,
This ride is a wild one,
Make no mistake,
The day will come when you can’t cover up what you’ve done,
Now don’t lose your fight, kid,
It only takes a little push to pull on through,
With so much left to do;
You’ll be missing out, and we’ll be missing you,

Grit your teeth, and pull your hair,
Paint the walls black and scream, “Fuck the world,
‘Cause it’s my life, I’m gonna take it back, ”
And never for a second blame yourself,

Hold on tight,
This ride is a wild one,
Make no mistake,
The day will come when you can’t cover up what you’ve done,

Borderline Maladaptive Coping Styles

whatthefisbpd:

• Feels misunderstood, mistreated, or victimized.

• Blames her own failures or shortcomings on other people or circumstances; attributes her difficulties to external factors rather than accepting responsibility for her own conduct or choices.

• Gets into power struggles.

• When upset, has trouble perceiving both positive and negative qualities in the same person at the same time (e.g. may see others in black or white terms, shift suddenly from seeing someone as an angel to seeing her as a devil).

• Becomes irrational when strong emotions are stirred up; may show a significant decline from customary level of functioning.

• Has little psychological insight into her own motives, behavior, etc.

• Is unable to soothe or comfort herself without the help of another person (i.e. has difficulty regulating her own emotions).

• Tends to “catastrophize”; is prone to see her problems as disastrous, unsolvable, etc.

• Tends to hold grudges; may dwell on insults or slights for long periods.

• When distressed, tends to revert to earlier, less mature ways of coping (e.g. clinging, whining, having tantrums).

• Relationships tend to be unstable, chaotic, and rapidly changing.

Relax and Breathe

onlinecounsellingcollege:

If you want to enjoy your life today …
1. Make peace with the past and decide to let it go.
2. Choose to be present and to focus on this moment.
3. Smile and laugh often; enjoy the little things.
4. Be positive and grateful; remember ALL life’s blessings.
5. Don’t allow other people to affect your happiness.
6. Don’t listen to, or ruminate on, empty lies and gossip.
7. Be patient in your struggles - and know that trials end.

The Self-Harm Project

“ Mental Health is the most overlooked health, yet one of the most common. 1 in every 4 adults and 1 in ever 5 children have mental health problems. Even with these high statistics, most people have no idea how to respond to it. If your leg is broken you go to the hospital and get a cast. If you have panic attacks, anger issues, suicidal ideations, and hurt yourself, most people do not know how to respond. Many respond with anger or disappointment and that is one of the worst ways you could respond to someone who is struggling with their mental health. Some people jump to medication or hospitalization at first sign of mental illness. The first thing most people need is someone to be there for them and support and love them. The Self-Harm project is dedicated to not only teaching others how to be there for those in need, but by being there for those in need.

Alongside teaching others how to help those who struggle with their mental health, The Self-Harm Project is meant to help those who struggle with mental health learned to better care for themselves. It is really difficult to know what you need to make your mental health better. You are constantly stuck between what is right and wrong; and what will help and what will make things worse. While The Self-Harm Project isn’t able to provide the solution to all of your problems and cannot tell you exactly what to do, it is here to make suggestions that could benefit you.
Even if neither you or anyone you know struggles with their mental health, The Self-Harm Project is a good resource to have and to share with others. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States (and the 3rd leading cause of death for those aged between 15 and 24.) It is important to raise awareness and help as much as possible to make the numbers go down. ”
