Pregnancy and Self harm

I don't know how much more I can handle . im trying to stay strong for this little guy but it'd hard. I find myself thinking more and more about suicide and more so about the things I can use to cut.

Re: Pregnancy and Self harm

Hey there!

Welcome to TeenHelp!

I know how difficult pregnancy can be, I have a challenging one myself. Adding the urge to self harm on top of that must be really difficult for you and I am so sorry to hear that you are struggling. I am glad to hear that you are trying to stay strong for your little one, that is after all the essence of motherhood; protecting your child. Is there anything in particular that you are struggling with right now that we can try to help you out with?

There are plenty of fellow mommas on this site that have been where you are, and even more members who have struggled with self harm. This is a safe place to talk about how you are doing.

Hey there,

Like Lizzie said, there are a lot of mommys here that can relate to you, and so many people who can relate to self harming tendencies. Is there anything specific going on that makes you feel urges to harm yourself? It's great that you are trying to stay strong for your little guy. So. What can we do for you?

Take care,
Britt.
