Random weird thoughts

I randomly remembered the fact that sometimes before if I was super angry or super depressed for whatever reason I would use my nails to scratch my arms, hard. It doesn't happen as often now and only when I've gotten furious at a game or something. I think it is still a form of self harm but not to the extent of cutting, I'm way too afraid to do that. But my brain doesn't really register scratching as self harm I think. I can say "oh yeah it's self harm" but my brain will be like "No no, self harm is way worse than that, stop faking this shit. There's nothing wrong with you, you're fine."

Anxiety has gotten a bit better, but I feel like that's temporary. You know it's bad when of all things the web-series 'Salad Fingers' has comforted me :/ I'd like to not shut down at the beginning of my last year in highschool? That'd be nice. Kinda need to do good this year and get into an art college I like...I am not gonna survive the real world :) my graduation will be the true beginning of the end

(edit)
a little more I just thought of..none of this makes sense btw
I'm basically stuck in this pit/cycle of noticing something wrong, worrying about it, calming down and feeling normal again. Nothing is wrong yet everything is wrong at the same time. I don't know if I can even be "fixed", I think I was too far gone long ago. I've passed the point of no return years ago. I don't even have a reason for feeling the way I do, that just makes me even more ridiculous and selfish. I go to a great private school, I have a stable household, not homeless, not going hungry, have a wonderful boyfriend I don't deserve, I have almost everything I could need. Yet I still feel terrible. Just because my brain is acting weird doesn't mean it's an excuse to be the way I am, but I just don't know what to do.....this is just a rant about nothing again

I can relate. Just had another five or six weeks of what I have come to call "the horrors", where 24/7 during the day I dread the night, and during the night dread the day. And what am I worried about, or what have I to worry about? Nothing. Great family, loving family, no financial woes. Sometimes catching the News and seeing scenes that could break the hardest heart.

You are not ranting about nothing. As I have been told, again and again, IT'S GOOD TO TALK. So I talk - or tap on my Kindle - trying to be positive, just sharing.

On the up again, but wary of the "horrors" returning.

Sincerely, stay strong. The light is there, which is always our own - yet can be shared with others.

All the best

I do the exact thing but my brain takes it as the knife takes too long use your fingers so it is slower. I have scars all over my fingers and arms from this and I gotta say it is self harm and I am sorry you are went through that I still do that.

it's possible that's how your brain chemistry works

it could be caused by anything

usually it's easier to fix the chemistry

My 18 year old sister does that when she's trying to calm her rage. I perceive it as self-harm.
