I often have urges to harm myself very frequently. I also research ways to kill myself and think about it once a day. Are either of these things normal?
I get you man, I have urges too, I’ve cut myself plenty of times, but, it’s all not worth it, it doesn’t help you at all.
Don’t do it
it's not normal at all. talk to someone about it. try to have someone hide any harmful objects from you. (knifes, scissors, maybe pencils, etc.)
Common but not normal. That's something you should definitely seek help for. I'm recovering from self harm, myself. It's hard but worth it.
Unfortunately, it isn’t uncommon. It’s not normal though either. You shouldnt feel ashamed, but you should definitely get some help.
No, these things are not normal. You may have depression - please seek out professional help... and please never self-harm or kill yourself! It's never worth it.
It is normal, as long as you are not doing it for attention or because you want to commit suicide. Most people do it for relief, at least for me anyway. I usually do it when everything in my life seems out of my control, which is most of the time.
My best friend went through this stuff. It’s really scary and she was getting better but recently got really bad. She got help and is on medication and has a therapist. It’s really hard for some people to go and get the help because they think they’re okay and that they can handle their problems by keeping them to themselves. Just know that it’s okay to get help; it doesn’t make you weak or look crazy. If you really need it, it’s what you need to do to be happy
