Support can make a huge difference when someone is hitting a rough patch. Why wait until then to let your friends know you'll be there? Take a stand for Mental Health Awareness and tag someone you care about to let them know you have their back. ‪

You didn’t exactly feel sad, but you weren’t exactly happy either. It was that small space in between… Numbness some would say. The weighed on your shoulders like a brick, you promised Lyney you wouldn’t do it again not after last time. The cuts on your thighs were a sign that you didn't listen. You couldn’t help but think how mad he would be, his face all angry. It had been so long since you’d seen it like that, he always scared you when he was in a mood like that.
The cuts felt like they were throbbing you could barely focus on anything else. Not that there was much else to focus on. Tears welled up in your eyes as you held yourself tightly, begging for any form of comfort that you could get. When you heard the front door open.
“Hey sweetie I’m home.”
Shit shit shit. You tried to hide all the evidence that you had been crying and what you had done to yourself. Panic filled your insides, you weren’t sure how he was gonna react. Maybe he would hate you? Would he yell? What would happen? You got so lost in thought that you didn’t see Lyney walk into the room.
“Hey, Hon- H-honey what's wrong.” You could tell without seeing him his eyes were widening.
“Can I come closer or is that a no-go right now?” You nodded.
He quickly rushed over being right by your side almost like a golden retriever. His arms wrapped around you warming your entire body quickly. “What happened?”
“I… I don't know… I just..” Your voice cracked and you fell your body shaking
. “That's fine… That's completely fine.”
“No, it's not!”
“Yes… Yes, it is… You're allowed to feel horrible. Just, honey… You need to tell me when you feel like hurting yourself. You know it's not good for you.”
You felt like you had betrayed him... The hurt in his eyes and voice was visible. More tears pricked your eyes… You couldn’t stop crying, the tears were a waterfall. He kept trying to comfort you, telling you that everything was okay and that nothing could hurt you.
“Are you angry at me?”
“Why would I be angry?”
“Because I…”
“You know I wouldn’t be angry at you for that…”
“You're not?”
“No sweetie, I could never be made at you.”

Whump Prompt 131
Write something inspired by this scene:
As caretaker rushes into the lab, the sight of whumpee laid out on the table stops them cold.
A large scalpel hovers over whumpee's chest, held in his own shaking hands.
"How--how did you get out of your cell?"
"I picked the lock." The tip of the scalpel lowers slightly, almost scraping his skin.
"You picked the... " caretaker repeats, disbelieving.
The blade lowers further, touching whumpee's bare chest. He leans his head back against the metal surface, face etched with desperation. A bead of blood grows and trickles down his ribs.
"I have to do this. Whumper won't want to experiment on me if I'm ruined."

PENITENCE REF
I'm tossing this character reference under a read more AND a trigger warning because it is pretty rough. Dead dove do not eat rough.
TW: suicide mention, self harm, graphic injury (I drew it pretty close to what it actually should look like)
Tumblr media
[FOR UPDATE] Soul pre-ROE / Penitence Post-Apathy (you're here!) / Penitence post-recovery
Babygirl I'm sorry but I yeeted your fashion sense and colour scheme out the WINDOW. Similar to Mind/Perseverance, hold up the two refs side by side he's changed SO MUCH in vibe it is insane.
Unlike Perseverance (who got peeled), Penitence covers up instead.
Pain fact! Because calling it a fun fact is still demented! Despite a clear preference for short-sleeves, Penitence stops wearing short sleeves entirely. He thinks that if he keeps his self-harm wounds out of sight it might burden Perseverance less. It doesn't particularly matter, because Perseverance is the one to bandage him up every time.
Follow up pain fact, but his arms do become shaky and weak over time from blood loss and injury. But its just his arms. He does not attack his legs (yet? deciding on that, but atm he only attacks his arms), and post-recovery they do regain most of their strength!
(Also artist pain fact! But don't search up hanging wounds! I almost vomited in my mouth looking at those but I wanted the scars around his neck to be more accurate. They are, in fact, that red and raw irl, especially because his suicide attempt happens on day 10 post-Apathy so it literally just happened in this character ref.) -> his neck wound WILL scar over in time btw, its raw here because his suicide attempt was literally that day
...he's only wearing the skirt because I realized that I ENTIRELY stripped him of the colour red. But also let him keep his gnc clothes come onnnnnnnn. Give him skirt rights blease.

If you struggle with substance abuse but not addiction, you still deserve support. If you struggle with suicidality/self harm urges but don't act on it, you still deserve support. If you struggle with psychosis and paranoia but have insight, you still deserve support. If you struggle with anything but are "coping with it," you still deserve support.
You dont need to be in imminent crisis to get help - safety planning, harm reduction, resources, and accommodations. You're still struggling. You're still suffering, You're still at risk/in danger. You deserve better - you need better. Your health and wellbeing matters.

Self harm doesn’t always happen when a blade touches skin.
It’s skipping meals because you don’t feel like you deserve to eat today. It’s drinking recklessly because you might have the ‘courage’ do something stupid. It’s smoking - not because you need the nicotine - because you know it’s bad for you. It’s banging your head against a wall when you’re angry. It’s crossing the road without looking because you lowkey hope a car might hit you. It’s thinking about all the ways you could break a bone and make it look like an accident. It’s not taking painkillers because you want to suffer. It’s taking painkillers in excess because you know it’s dangerous. It’s walking home the more dangerous way because you’re kind of half hoping you’ll get attacked or raped or stabbed. It’s going for long walks at night and getting chilled to the bone and hoping that you get lost so that you can’t find your way back. It’s seeking out triggering material. It’s all the stupid little ways you punish yourself for existing.
Sometimes self harm happens when you put effort into depriving yourself of things you like or need, and sometimes it happens when you don’t put any effort into doing the things you like or need.
It’s a pattern of self-destructive behaviour, and it doesn’t only happen in one way.
This sort of behavior is classified as “para-suicidal” It’s putting yourself in a situation of danger or destruction with the intention of risking your safety rather than a direct attempt on your life. Kind of, leaving it all to chance? Also doing things to harm yourself or your self worth because you feel you deserve to feel the outcome of those actions.
