(Posted this on Tumblr and figured might as well post it here too)
1. I will just do it until things get better./I can stop any time I want.
NO. It is an addiction. Yeah, some people may scoff at that, but it literally is. Stopping is much easier said than done. Just the same as smoking or drugs, except here there can be an extreme emotional attachment. Don’t you think inhaling smoke from a stick looks stupid to the outsider looking in too??

2. I will only do it in this one spot.
This one’s a big one for me. I told myself that too, but that is really hard. You run out if space and you move it. Before you know it, it’s from your wrist to your shoulder and from your hip to your ankle.

3. Nobody will ever find out.
I thought this, but the odds are somebody IS going to find out eventually. You’re going to have scars for the rest of your life. Telling somebody can help though. Hiding it is very very hard, especially when it’s bad. Nobody found out for over a year for me, nobody had a clue. I lied my ass off to everyone, including myself. I didn’t think anyone would ever know.

4. I will never let it get that bad.
You know what, I can promise you that pretty much anyone has told themself this. Anyone who got to the point where they do it every day. Everyone who has covered themself. Anyone who had cut too deep. Anyone who has carved words into themself. They had never thought they’d go that far, but then it’s put if their control.

5. What I’m doing doesn’t count.
When I started, I thought it didn’t count because I was using scissors and it didn’t always break the skin and because of the fact I thought it was a “one time thing” or that I “could stop whenever” (as mentioned above). But, if you’re hurting yourself deliberately, it is self harm. Doesn’t matter how or how severe. Doesn’t matter if it’s cutting, burning, bruising, picking. It is self harm and telling yourself it’s ok or that it doesn’t matter is very dangerous.

6. I’m just doing it for attention, I must be, I have no reason.
I know there is a stigma of self harm “emo” or “attention seeking” or “a trend”, but in all honesty, are there not easier way to get attention? If you’re going as far as mutilating yourself for attention, then there IS a problem. There IS something wrong. Plus, a lot if people who tell themself this out of guilt, they hide it. Almost everyone hides it! I know I am never without a hoodie. So HOW IN THE DAMN HELL are you attention seeking? Why would you go through all that shit, just for some attention, that is likely to be negative on the first place!? You wouldn’t. There is obviously something wrong!

If anyone has anything to add, please do. If anyone has any questions or an idea on another similar topic I could do, feel free to ask. And if anyone ever needs to talk, I’m here (though I’m not sure how much help I am), but feel free to talk to me. Keep fighting everyone</p>

Ok soooo updates:

I got two rats! I got a 7 (now 8) month old named Treble and a 3 (now 4) month old named Indie. Treble is a ruby eyed dove bareback dumbo and Indie is a pink eyed white.

I got an Axolotl! She is a white albino and her name is Crimson.

I might be getting a new kitten! She is a mixed breed, black, 4 months old, and her name is Jappeta (I will name her Sterling though). We have submitted an adoption application.

I'm finally using my Tumblr, so FOLLOW ME GUYS. It's called FuzzyThePunkCat of course. I am using it for three things. One is to talk about animals. Everything from my pets to dog training to my views on things etc. Two is to share my art, since it takes me forever to upload it here. And three is to talk mental illness. From depression to anxiety to self harm to suicide to eating and sleep disorders to bipolar to OCD etc. Share my experiences, offer support and pro-recovery, and proooobably rant.

I decided not to get rats from that lady because she was selling them at 2 weeks, and that's too young.

Sooooo, my friend helped me find a rat that needed to be adopted! His foster mom is going to pull another rat from the rescue for me too! They will be coming home in 1-2 weeks!

He is white with ruby eyes and his name is Indie :)

I'm getting two baby rats guys! One will be "technically" my little sister's, but I'm sure I will end up doing all the work lol. They will be named Indie (mine) and Treble (her's, also named by me). We are getting them from some woman who works at a pet store and took in a rat for someone and it had babies. Don't know when exactly we are getting them though. They are cream and white mismarked capped/hooded. I am so excited! We should be getting them in 3-7 days!
