Hi everyone,

I was curious about NSSI (non-suicidal self injury) and it’s connecting to autism. I found a source that talks about it in more detail. Here’s an excerpt:

Recent studies have examined non-suicidal self-injury in community and clinical samples, but there is no published research on non-suicidal self-injury in individuals with autism spectrum disorder. This lack of research is surprising, since individuals with autism spectrum disorder have high rates of risk factors for non-suicidal self-injury, including depression and poor emotion regulation skills. Using an online survey, we examined non-suicidal self-injury methods, frequency, severity, functions, and initial motivations in adults with autism spectrum disorder (n = 42). We also compared their non-suicidal self-injury characteristics to those of a gender-matched group of adults without autism spectrum disorder (n = 42). Of the participants with autism spectrum disorder, 50% reported a history of non-suicidal self-injury. This proportion is higher than non-suicidal self-injury rates previously reported for college students, adult community samples, and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder, which suggests that adults with autism spectrum disorder have increased risk for engaging in non-suicidal self-injury. Women with autism spectrum disorder were significantly more likely to endorse non-suicidal self-injury, relative to men with autism spectrum disorder. A history of non-suicidal self-injury was not related to current depression or emotion dysregulation for the participants with autism spectrum disorder. Non-suicidal self-injury characteristics among the adults with autism spectrum disorder were similar to non-suicidal self-injury in adults without autism spectrum disorder. These preliminary findings highlight the need for increased awareness and further research about non-suicidal self-injury within autism spectrum disorder.

I hope many of you find this helpful and informative.

$h is such a slippery slope, and it's scary at times.

I went from doing cat scratches to cvts going through f4t in just a few years. And now even those don't satisfy the need for pain sometimes. I'm constantly chasing the unreachable goal of causing enough damage to myself, but it will never be enough. Ever.

I doubt this will make it around to the side of tumblr I need, but I am trying to reach the self-harm community. I am needing some input/ideas/opinions/experiences to help me process ideas for an upcoming therapy session.

I am a full-grown adult (31yo) who self injured for over 15 years on a regular basis. I have been sh free for the last 6 years minus a few relapses. That being said, I am trying to work on the shame aspect of self harm and how it affects self-image, modesty, connection to others. Generally, how withholding my history of self harm and hiding my scars affects a lot of things in daily life. Like activities I might participate in or what I wear (ie. avoiding swimming, dressing modestly, etc).

I’m just looking for everyone’s personal thoughts and experiences with this. Whether you feel shame, or are more open about it. Whether it impacts you or not. Any insight you may have to help me think about my relationship to self harm would be very helpful. Thank you in advance! (And please be kind, I know this is a a sensitive topic for many people 🤍)

[She was whispering now, her eyes open as she stared down at the water. The chain's color shifted to pink- a familiar pink... a fleshy pink... it tightened around her throat, tight enough to choke, its ONLY inhibition from pulling her head clean off being Mikey's scritches grounding her just enough to keep her from being dragged down too much further. She dug her nails in deeper, little trickles of blood running down her head around her fingertips. That could be worried about later- when her breathing didn't come in short gasps, when she could hear, when she wasn't being actively tormented. She'd have to wait it out to get treatment.]

Tw/Sh

I kinda have permission to cut rn from the only people who can do anything about it

When I was a senior, I was caught with razors in my bathroom.

My mom told me that if I waited until I graduated then she didn't care whether I chose to SH after. So I stopped for the rest of the year.

Now

My husband let's me because he wants me to get better. So I am allowed to SH tonight as bad as I want, but I have to be clean for a few months after.

It's kinda bittersweet

obviously tw ed, but also tw sh

i'm fucked. my mom, and my dad have been suspicious of my weight loss for at least two, maybe three weeks now. (although they haven't said anything recently). but now they're suspicious about two bandaids on my arm that they have known about for around one or two weeks. my mom has been asking a lot of questions the past couple of days because I told her a little over a week ago that it was cat scratches and i still have the bandaids on. she asked about the bandaids for what feels like the millionth time about twenty minutes ago, and i finally said i'd tell her what it was tomorrow night. she and my dad pretty much know it isn't cat scratches, but don't know what it actually is. although she said she was worried about cu77ing. i'm scared

i'm am going to try my hardest to keep my eating and weight loss out of the conversation tomorrow night. i'm not willing to lose 4na yet

but i've been clean from sh for almost six days now, and i've been wanting to stay clean

i was planning on telling them about it, just not so soon

Reasons I don’t feel valid:

-I’ve never been hospitalized

-I don’t have enough courage to use a bl@de, only shards of glass

-My cut$ almost never scar

-People have way deeper cut$

-I’ve never been diagnosed with anything other than anxiety and depression

Why aren’t I good enough?

heya there

Interesting topic to ask about! For me, I only feel shame around my family. I was raised in a conservative Christian household, where the immediate question was “why would you do this to yourself?” The thing is, if you haven’t been there, it’s very hard to understand. I feel shame because they shame me for it, or else I wouldn’t. Everyone in my family takes their anger out on everyone around them except me. My scars aren’t very visible but I did that BECAUSE I would be shamed for it. There’s a lot of shame and anger, mostly directed at them, but that’s more than enough for me. When I’m around my friends though, weirdly enough, i don’t feel shame. I kind of like the fact that the scars contrast with my bubbly personality and it serves to tell people that I’m GOOD at hiding my feelings and there’s more to me than meets the eye. I’m worried about encountering problems at the doctors office or the working world because I feel like they’ll see them as a weakness. Which is soooo stupid.

You bring up some great points!! I’m happy to hear you can show your scars around friends and feel safe, that’s a sign of good friends.

I also feel shame about my family knowing, though mine don’t overtly know (it’s never been discussed but I’m sure they’ve noticed). It’s like the elephant in the room and I’m not sure they’d ever understand or not look at my scars and feel disgusted/sad/afraid or like a failure themselves. It’s also so frustrating to think they might make it about them if I brought it up; as if it’s their fault because they weren’t there or I couldn’t trust them to ask for help.

You also bring up wonderful points about the medical care systems!!! Have you encountered issues with care or concern for your safety etc. from doctors? My scars are quite obvious and pronounced and my doctors usually just look wide eyed and try to stay professional then ask the required questions of “are you safe?” “Are you still engaging in self harm?” “Would you like medical/psychological support?”.

For work, it’s a hard area to navigate. I wear modest clothing most of the time to avoid any conversations about scars, tattoos, etc. People can be so quick to assume incompetency when they see those things, or ask intrusive or very odd questions. Have you had any issues in work spaces?
