I was just wondering if drinking effects anyone elses self harm. Even when I just drink a bit and get maybe a little tipsy I get really triggered and the more I drink the worse it gets. I woke up one morning with blood all over me and my room and didn't even remember self harming. After that I stopped drinking alone but still have trouble when I'm drinking with other people. I know the solution is obviously to stop drinking all together if I can't keep myself under reasonable control. I just really hate being the only completely sober person at a party, everyone else is drinking and enjoying themselves because the worst thing thats going to happen to them is a hangover the next morning. Me and my friends just turned 18 a few months ago so they always want to meet up at clubs and bars which doesn't help.
So, if drinking does effect your self harm, how do you deal with it? Did you stop drinking or did you find ways around it?
"Some people get by, with a little understanding. Some people get by, with a whole lot more."
alcohol is a depressant, therefore, itll take effect on your mood, if youre suffering from depression, itll worsen it, & youre more likely to self harm.
My cpn also told me to be very careful if i was going to drink ( due to the fact i was very implusive and had a history of od-ing ) along with severe depression so drinking wasn't great for me. Because things could easily go wrong, with me anyway,
