Help :S *might be triggering to some*

Tayy · 17-08-2009, 10:26 AM

so to start this off if
1) your easily triggered please don't read on :(

2) i am not sure what catogory this is going into :S (not too good with this stuff ) so if you could help me in figering out how to get it where it is supposed to be would apreciate it greatly

so i recently noticed that no words trigger me such as cutting ,slipping up anything like that except one word "mutilating", mutilated" ..

:( self*mutilating* the word just makes my stomach flip and makes me feel sick to my stomach!. i am not sure what to do ! i want to get over it cause every time i think of the word i feel super sick an i am not sure how to easy my way into it so i can get over it . :S

a family member i have is against piercings an when ever he see's them he said " oww (she or he ) is mutilating them selves"
an it just reminds me of when i do ...(mutilate my self

)

any help would be great ! thanks x o x o

Hey,
I don't have anything useful to say, apart from I can relate to it. I think it's just a horrible word. I'm sorry I don't have anything more productive to say,
Take care

umm... I agree that its a horrible word. Does the person know that you SI, cause then maybe you could explain that you dislike the phrase and would prefer he say something different around you.

sorry that that is the only advice I've got

*hugs*

tell them you dont like that word and stop commenting on what you decide to do as it is doing no harm to them if you have piercings

Yeah, I'm not too fond of that word, either...It just sounds so awful....I'm sorry, though, that's it's triggering for you...I wish there was something I could say to help...But I guess all you can do is what Shelz said. Tell em you don't like the word. Just say it's offensive or makes you sick...Explain without telling them EXACTLY why.

I hate that word with a passion too. My mum used in in reference to me the other day and I just felt horrible. I was talking to her about getting my new tattoo, over my scars once all my scars have faded and are not raised and stuff, (might never be able to happen I know, but I can dream) and she went:
