lilyliveredlittlerichboy:

the diet cult is a solution to a nonexistent problem.

which is great, capitalism loves a solution without a problem. Or rather, selling you a solution to a problem they tell you you absolutely have.

so they make everyone believe that losing weight is super desirable for some reason.

it can only really be accomplished by disordered eating and/or exercise habits. (there have been so many studies showing that long term weight loss is not possible for most people, unless they develop disordered eating or exercise habits.)

the problem? people get hungry cus their bodies need food!

the solution? try this pill, that shake, such-and-such supplement. join this group with like minded diet cultists people who want to lose weight! you have to pay a membership fee and it’ll try to dictate every bite you put in your mouth and sell you special recipes and ingredients and build an entire economy based on your low self-esteem, cus society tells you anything above stick-thin is too fat.

it’s a cult aimed at controlling your entire life, where you shop, what you buy, what you eat. it’s super good at it?? to the point where like. the majority of women in western countries seem to be falling for it?? (can’t speak for other places but i imagine it’s big elsewhere too)

to the point where many fat people believe they don’t have worth unless they lose weight,

and many thin people believe that the worst thing that could happen to them is to gain weight,

when in reality, weight is morally neutral. being fat protects you from some diseases, actually. socio-economic status is a better predictor of health than weight. etc. etc.

fat ppl and fat liberation activists have been talking about this for so fucking long. i really don’t know what it will take to get people to listen.

abuse victims attracting abusers is a myth, abusers target victims, and it’s 100% abusers fault no matter who they abuse. you are not responsible for “making sure you don’t act in a way that could make someone want to abuse you” or for “making sure you don’t attract abusive people”, it’s on them to not fucking target and take advantage of the first person who has trouble standing up to them and saying no, who is scared of confrontation, who was groomed into pleasing and putting others first, who is still trying to find themselves and put themselves together, who doesn’t know how to demand and ask other than to offer all of their affection and support while asking nothing in return and being happy with whatever they get. these people just need proper family! someone who would protect them and allow them to build boundaries and learn they never need to offer more than they get and that they’re safe and valued and wanted and accepted just the way they are, taking advantage of someone so fragile and scared and wounded and hurting them even more in order to gain power and satisfaction is cruel and vile and abusers should go to hell for it, and whoever thought that victims should take responsibility for “attracting abusers” can also go to hell, blame fucking abusers, shame abusers for taking advantage, let them know they need to pay for what they’ve done and change their ways if they wish to keep existing, leave victims in peace

what should you do if you think someone is self harming? Not asking cause I know anyone who does it, but because I recall once almost getting caught and the thing I used to harm myself was taken away even if they didn't know I was hurting myself (it wasn't mine so I had to put it back on a bookcase every time I was done instead of hiding it). Yet when they took it away I just became stealthier and more secretive about it and learned how to hide it better, taking it didn't help me at all.

- Anonymous

one-abuse-survivor:

I also have a bunch of stories of my own of people trying to help me stop self-harming and doing the opposite of actually helping, so I’m very glad to answer this question. Please bear in mind my answer is going to be based only on my personal experience being on both sides of this situation, though. It’s okay to have a different experience or point of view than mine, and if anyone wants to share theirs, you’re more that welcome to.

Dos and don'ts of helping someone who’s self-harming:

If the person just self-harmed:

  • Don’t immediately take their self-harm tool away from them unless they ask you to. Chances are having it in their hand makes them feel control over the situation, and you could escalate it by trying to grab it from them. Work on calming them down first, then gently ask them to hand it to you.
  • Don’t raise your voice or do any suddent movements. Move slowly, talk calmly.
  • Don’t touch them without permission when you reassure them.
  • Don’t ask why they did it or tell them it was selfish or stupid to do it. They’re probably already judging themselves, and the last thing they need is for you to reinforce their negative self-talk. Remember self-harm isn’t something you choose to do—it’s more often than not a survival mechanism to cope with levels of pain greater than we can hold inside.
  • Do take a moment to breathe deeply before helping them, because you won’t be able to help deescalate the situation if you yourself are panicking.
  • Do reassure them it’s okay, that you’re right there for them and you’re not mad at them.
  • Do help them tend to their wounds if they’re okay with that. Help them clean, disinfect, patch up or soothe them. If you don’t have the right materials for that, even just offering a clean tissue to control the bleeding is better than nothing.
  • Do ask them if there’s anything they need right now, like going to a quiet place or drinking some water. Focus on their needs in the moment, not on bigger-picture things like seeking help.
  • Do model soothing behaviours for them if they need it. For example, breathe in and out deeply and slowly, encouraging them to follow your lead.

In the long run:

  • Don’t take away the person’s self-harm tool without their consent. It’s natural to want to do it: you care about this person and want to protect them from harm. But taking away the tool doesn’t address the root problem and won’t stop the self-harm from happening. On the contrary, it creates shame and distress, which might cause them to self-harm more and/or to not come to you the next time the self-harms happens.
  • Don’t shame them, make jokes about their self-harm (unless they’ve told you they’re okay with that) or throw it in their faces when you’re upset. Remember self-harm isn’t a personal flaw or a sign of weakness; it’s morally neutral and something anyone could do. Always keep that in mind and remind the person of it when they’re being hard on themself.
  • Don’t treat relapse as a failure, or like it negates all the hours/days/months/years they didn’t self-harm. Remind them their goal doesn’t need to be to never self-harm again; their goal can be to space out their self-harm episodes as much as possible. This can help get through many bad moments without self-harming, because they’ll feel more in control of the situation if they know the option will still be there later if they really need it. “I’ll self-harm in 5/10/15 minutes if I’m still feeling like this” can be much more helpful in getting through a bad moment without actually self-harming than “I really want to do it, but I can’t, because if I do I’ll be a failure and it’ll all have been for nothing”.
  • Don’t tell them they’re attention-seekers. This phrase has a very negative connotation and implies that they’re bad, stupid, weak, annoying or selfish for reaching out to you for help. A generally preferred term for it (from what I’ve seen) is “a cry for help”. People who self-harm when others will see or know about it are desperately trying to communicate they need help. There’s nothing wrong with needing help.
  • Do reassure the person you’ll love and support them if they self-harm again. Let them know they can come to you when they do it, and meet them with reassurance when they do (see the previous list).
  • Do discuss the possibility of them handing their self-harm tools to you when they’re ready for that. If you take the tools from them, it needs to be a decision you come to together. Be prepared for this to be too big a step initially, and even if you do come to this agreement, you need to be open to the possibility they might do it again through other means.
  • Do discuss safe self-harm with them, if they’re open to it. Safe self-harm includes, but isn’t limited to, using clean tools and keeping the wounds superficial (for example, by avoiding excessively sharp tools). It also includes finding safer methods to feel pain, like holding an ice cube or pouring a drop of spicy sauce on your tongue. (But don’t forget that these methods are also self-harm and should also be avoided when possible).
  • Do discuss ways they can demonstrate and express their distress without self-harming, if they’re open to it. Some examples of this are: rubbing their arms to redden them or pouring mud or red food colouring over their skin to mimick blood, painting on their skin, running, jumping, screaming, stomping their feet, etc.
  • Do help them address the root problem(s) when they’re ready for that: it can be mental illness, trauma, undiagnosed health issues, poverty, abuse, incarceration, addiction, and a very long etc. This is when you might want to help them find therapy, if it’s available to them and they’re open to the idea.

Lastly, remember that it is not your responsibility to stop another person from self-harming. Your own safety and well-being should always be your priority. Helping someone who’s self-harming should always be your decision, and not something you do out of guilt, obligation or fear.

If you’re in a situation where someone is threatening self-harm unless you do what they say, that is emotional blackmail, and you deserve to take any steps you can to protect yourself from it. If you fear anyone’s life, including yours, might be in danger, call your country’s emergency number. If your boundaries aren’t being respected, you deserve to cut out this person whether they follow through with their threat or not.

borderlinereminders:

Not everything is a personal attack against you. Your friend may not be ignoring you on purpose but may be feeling drained. Someone isn’t always being short with you because they’re angry at you but may be trying to hold their own emotions together. Please don’t always assume malicious intent. Most of the time, people are just being people and trying to survive their own lives. It’s not necessarily about you.

A tweet from let my people glo ✨(@/MichellCClark):

[“Never quit” sounds great, but sometimes, you gotta quit. be willing to say, “this isn’t what i thought it was”, or “this doesn’t appeal to me anymore.” remember that you can quit “the thing” without quitting on yourself. remember that persistence and fluidity can coexist.]
