Inappropriate things to say to someone who self harms
I decided to make this thread as a place where people can get innappropriate things off their chest that people have said to them regarding self harm... Sometimes i think you just need to say what's been said, get it out of your system and say how it affected you and then move on, i know it's happened to me more than once hence the thread...
I'll start us off... These are by a doctor / nurse but this thread is for anyone who says it.
'Why do you do this, you're too pretty to hurt yourself'
I'm not pretty, but even if i was it wouldn't be a reason not to.
'At least this isn't as bad as last time'
I knew i should have made it worse...
'If you'd gone a millimeter deeper you would have hit the radial artery'
uhh thanks... now that's going to be triggering my in my head all night. Target practice.
