Hi, uh, if this is too personal or you just don’t want to talk about it, that’s totally fine, but if you’re ok with it, what is emotional self harm? I’ve never heard of that before, but it kinda sounds like something I would accidentally do. It’s totally ok if you don’t want to answer

it’s not talked about much, but it’s actually pretty common among people with depression, in my experience at least.

basically it’s when you try to hurt yourself, but instead of doing it physically you do it to your mind. for example, reading something even though you know it’s gonna be triggering for you, insult yourself, or try and form unhealthy relationships that you know are bad for you. just examples of course, there are many many forms of emotional self harm

it’s not any less damaging or a serious issue than physical self harm. if you think you are doing it, then you might need to seek help. if therapy isn’t something you can get right now, i’ll recommend the website/app 7 Cups!

take care of yourself, alright? if you have more questions my askbox or pms are always open! ❤
