Do you struggle with acts and/or impulses of self harm?

No need to get into specifics of what kinds, the chart is for point of reference for those that aren't entirely sure. Some lines are a little fuzzy. But if you do want to share I won't stop you, sometimes talking about a problem to anyone can help and I know the value of that.

I, personally, do. It's a constant these days, pretty much. I used to act on them more often than I do but while the frequency of acts has gone down the severity of impulses has gone up exponentially.

I fixate a lot on how easy it would be to kill myself through any one of my various medical devices. The only thing really stopping me in desperate moments is how unpleasant of a death those would probably be.

@SwampFlower That's more relatable than you may realize. 😅 I struggle with that a lot with all the medication I have.

@UndeadPrivateer It can get pretty ridiculous sometimes.

@SwampFlower More than a little ridiculous, yeah. I don't want to get deep into my self-maiming impulses in public and freak people out but they do get very extreme too. It's awful to mentally deal with.

@UndeadPrivateer I feel you. 🤗
