I don’t even remember why
I feel so stupid, why did I do it. I don’t know. I don’t want to do it again. and I don’t want anyone to know.

I appreciate you a lot right now, thank you 
Hey, Flame is right. No need to feel ashamed. I too have harmed myself(acid burning) and felt stupid afterwards. Sometimes, it just happens. It is important to know what triggered it so you can prevent it in the future. Mine were almost always related to some psychotic event in my brain.

when i get ill, i tend to self harm too. I take a knife and cut my arm. I havent done it for a while now though, because my meds are working and I havent felt ill in about two months or three. When i cut I feel released, but then i also have regrets. What if my husband sees it? I think. I feel ashamed too. I try to hide it as much as i can from hubby because it hurts him to see me like that. I found because of him i dont cut so much anymore.
If you self harmed, you will feel ashamed, but thats normal. Dont be too hard on yourself. Just take a new step into a new non-self-harming day. Just put it behind you and try again on the path of recovery. Every day is a new day to try not self harm again.

After the self harm, you do realize you are alive. You need to do something to prevent next self harm. You have mentioned you are talking with your mom. What about the situation?

I’m thinkin I’m on my own with this one, because there’s no way I’m gonna tell her it happened
You are right. You need to let your Mom know your mental illness.

I know… it’ll happen… it’ll happen.
Do you have access to some kind of counselor or therapist? It might help if you had an understanding person to talk to about this. I’ve got a few scars from self harm too. One thing that keeps me from hurting myself now is that if the people in charge where I live found out I did this they would immediately remove me from my apartment. It’s good that you’re talking about self harm on this site. Let us know what is going on with you.

oh i love the forum. I love being able to vent, and I love that I know most you guys without actually knowing you. it makes it easy to talk… And if I feel too embarrassed to say anything I just remind myself that I need to speak up and say how I feel and this is the best place to start 
imo

I feel the same way about this site. It’s a great resource in our lives. We can be very safe talking about our problems on here. In some ways it is better than talking to a counselor in person.

Been there, done it and got the t-shirt.
However, I only did it once because a few days later a nurse noticed the marks on my arm during an unrelated hospital appointment and wanted to know how I got them. I don’t think she was convinced by my explanation that I had caught my arm on something. She knew what I had really done.
Best wishes,
Padster
