Appreciate not doing it

its terrible doing. You think its only one scratch, one cut, but it always becomes more. Then after you look at your arm, and you think '****' its so hard to stop.

@YTH - I dont think SH is specific to cutting. Personally I'd consider what you do as self harm. Don't mean for that to sound insulting or anything, just pointing it out.

When I'm really depressed I just don't eat. Like I literally eat nothing. I'm never hungry either, I think the stress suppresses my appetite. For example today I have eaten one bag of snax.

I'm surprised my body's still going - the amount of poor nutrition it's received. Really aiming to go and buy some good food tomorrow.

Do you eat every meal?

No, for the last week I haven't eaten any meals, just like one thing a day. Yesterday I ate a bowl of microwave rice in the evening, that's all I had for the day, and the day before I think I just ate a bar of chocolate all day.

I'm at my worst though, I look really sick, and I'm sick of looking so awful, I do go through phases of eating healthily, if I could just get the motivation to go down to the shop and buy some healthy food

The weird thing is I wouldn't call myself anorexic, I don't want to be thin, Im just so depressed I cant eat.

This is definitely my version of self harming I guess.

I'm the opposite - I comfort eat. Before I use to binge and throw it up then but I somehow overcame that.

cloud493 · 27-02-2012, 21:01

I eat like, every other day. I have a lot of trouble eating, I try to swallow something, and I be sick, so in the end I don't/

It's okay, I understand what you mean. I guess I just don't think it's as big a deal as cutting I suppose as you can't really see the damage. Well, not really. I don't know.

Good luck with the hospital btw

I'm the exact same, but I tend to spin between phases of doing that and overeating to a huge extent. Been in a binging phase for quite a while now actually. It's tough to get out of doing it, isn't it? Especially when it's been like that for ages (I haven't had a normal eating pattern in about ten years tbh). If you ever need to vent about it, I'm here.

Yeah I'm seeing a really great counsellor at the minute actually. She has helped so much with getting me to accept myself! I'm lucky to have found her.

How have you been cloud?

cloud493 · 27-02-2012, 21:26

That sounds great, I'm really pleased for you

hope it works out like. Good counsellors are hard to find and all that. I'm still here. I was in A&E last week, but there we are.

**Seren_** · 27-02-2012, 21:37

Thanks

And you are still here, that's great. Doesn't matter how many times you end up in A&E as long as you come out of it eventually. That's what I was always told anyway when I used to end up there a lot.

cloud493 · 27-02-2012, 21:39

I guess so

Always get back up you know.
