Self Harm & Dark Thoughts
If you are hurting yourself or having thoughts of not wanting to be here, you are not alone and you deserve support. These feelings can be very hard to talk about, and reaching out is a brave first step.
What this might look like for you
- Using physical pain as a lightning rod to distract from emotional chaos.
- Intrusive, exhausting thoughts about just completely opting out.
- Feeling convinced you are a heavy burden to everyone around you.
- Hiding your darkest feelings to ensure you do not scare anyone off.
