I did something stupid.SH trigger warning

[Fuckedupinmyhead]

I cut myself. Up to now I have resisted it and caused other wounds instead...I didn't resist today. Not sure what to do. I don't think it needs stitches. Just feel weird. Numb. I won't tell dp. I can conceal it. I feel too filled with shame. I have a dr appointment friday and I am honest in those appointments. That's it really. I needed to tell someone who I don't know in rl

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.
We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources.
You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.
Wishing you the very best 💐

@Fuckedupinmyhead
I acknowledge you. I also popped in to my GP yesterday to speak to the nurse and made an appointment (unfortunately it’s not for another month) as I just need someone professional to hear me, recognise the truth and acknowledge my situation & it sounds like you are in the same position.

Have you spoken to www.thecalmzone.net? Stumbled across them recently.

Whilst you feel you’re fucked up, we’ve been made to feel like this through no fault of our own 💐

Sending hugs to you.

I’m glad you have an appointment to discuss this, I hope you are able to get the support you need

Tape it up with medical tape, but make sure you do it really carefully and look after it if you're not gonna go to A&E! I did this years ago and really should've got stitches but never did, and it left a huge horrible scar.

Really sorry to hear you're feeling like this though. I've no advice, but just to say you're not alone and well done for resisting as much as you have done so far!

Other forms of impulsive actions are safer than others, if you're really struggling, eg. Buying a present for yourself online, eating a bunch of sugary treats, chucking away a load of clothes you don't want, or even slapping yourself in the face! Cutting is a really shit way to self harm and you deserve to treat yourself better so promise you won't do it to yourself again, throw in the bin whatever blade you used and go treat yourself to something nice xxx

Be kind to yourself OP

Ah OP I feel for you as I have the same issue. I hope your appointment goes well

Shouldn't this be in the MH section rather than chat , you may get some advice from someone else going through the same

Thank you for the support everyone.
I checked out calmzone but i think it is for people who are suicidal. I am not suicidal. I checked out battle scars self harm and there are virtual groups which may be useful so thanks
Hattie43 I chose to put this in chat and not mental health. If someone had experienced this and come out the other side they probably won't be on the mental health board and I wanted their thoughts too
