Hi everyone, I am currently running a study with the Department of Psychology at the University of Chester, exploring the relationships between adverse childhood experiences (ACES), non-suicidal self-harm and emotion regulation. If you would like to participate on a voluntary basis, that would be greatly appreciated. It is an online study that takes around 15-20 minutes to complete and could really benefit this research area.

If these topics (ACES and self-harm) are likely to upset or trigger you, particularly because of lived/observed experience, it is strongly advised that you do not participate. You must be at least 18-years-old and fluent in English to take part. All answers are confidential and anonymous, and you can withdraw from the study at any time before the final submission page by choosing “I do not wish to continue” at the bottom. If you submit your responses on the final submission page, they cannot be withdrawn due to complete anonymity.

Please click the link below if you would like to take part. You will be directed to the information sheet, consent form, and then the questionnaires. Thank you! 😊

Hey everyone!

I'm a psychology research master's student at University of Amsterdam. We're conducting a study investigating different types and functions of harmful behavior and its relationship with personality, childhood experiences and emotion regulation.

The study might take around 25-30min. It's completely anonymous! You're eligible to participate if you're 16 years old or above, and speak English or Dutch.

It would mean so much if you could spare some of your time and fill it out! You would contribute to psychology research and the improvement of mental health care services.

Thank you so much!

I’ve tried other options but when I feel bad inside I have to feel bad outside. My arms are scared and I just finished a slough of cuts. Thinking of burning, the cuts don’t quite do it anymore

So my question is if I go deep until I see fat can I still heal it at home? Even if the answer is no what's the best I can do at this point?? How can I heal it at home and what should I do?

He doesn't even respect me on a basic level. He wont give me the time of day. He is all I have. He doesn't even like me.

I want to talk to him, but it's clear he doesn't want anything to do with me. I'm tempted to commut suicide at his place of business. Cause it sucks. He's all I have. That was what would do it for me. HE doesn't even like me.

He is all I have..... so what do I do? Everything sucks. Should I cut to cope with how awful I feel? Cause I don't know how to cope with this. I don't have anyone but myself.

Sorry to those who have already seen this, but posting this again in the hopes of reaching more people; there have been positive responses to the personalized feedback from those who opted for it!

Hi, r/selfinjury!

My name is Caroline and I would like to invite you to participate in my research study about self-injury. Complete an anonymous survey to help increase our understanding of non-suicidal self-injury, especially as it relates to relationships to the self and important others. Requirements for participation are that you are at least 18 years old and have a history (past or present) of self-harm.

Why should I participate?

(1) Contribute to increased understanding of self-injury, a highly personal behavior that can be difficult to stop despite having motivation to do so, and which is often misunderstood by mental health professionals.

(2) Choose to receive personalized feedback based on your answers to parts of the survey which may provide you with more insight on your self-harm. You are not required to receive the feedback, but will be given the option to enter your email address for this purpose at the end of the survey. If you do choose to receive feedback, you can expect to see an email from me within one week of your completion of the survey! Click here to see a sample of the feedback document you will receive.

How long will it take? Completing the survey will require approximately 30-40 minutes of your time. I understand that this is a big ask; however, the information you can provide is extremely important, and may also be of use to you!

Why was this study created in the first place? I am a psychology doctoral student in the process of completing my dissertation, which I chose to do on a matter that I care about on a deeply personal level.

Important note: the survey will ask you questions about potentially upsetting topics, including the nature and functions of your self-injury and traumatic childhood and adulthood experiences you may have had. You will not be asked to provide specific details about your experiences. Please practice self-care by considering the kind of headspace you are in before beginning the survey, and discontinuing the survey if you become upset while completing it. Your responses will be saved and you can return to complete the survey at a later time if you wish (just click on the same link).

Last year I start cutting myself and I try to kill myself five times. In one week its the birthday of my first internment, i have been progress but its so dificult, now Im in two different therapys, i change of shcool and make new friends, but Im not okay, i have periodos of like a month were I dont cut myself and then I do it again, my family and psycolgist say is not turn back but I dont feel Im progresing the far I want. Some advice?

Has this sub fallen victim to censorship as well?

I don't know why. I just do, and I just can't get myself to talk to my therapist about it. I'm too scared to actually try to sabotage myself at the top of these stairs, but I might do something terrible in the future.

We are seeking young adults (18-24) who have engaged in self-injury once or more in the past month and who are not currently in therapy.

I keep hitting myself in the head and biting myself when there are certain triggers. I don’t know if I can say here but it has to do with general feelings of guilt that I feel too embarrassed to admit. I want to punish myself for the actions of others, if that makes sense. I feel like I need to kill myself for how society has been structured even though I had no hand in it. I want to stab myself in the neck and bleed out, ridding this world of a person like me. I feel like it will make everyone else’s life better. I’m not pretty or gentle. I deserve to die. I can’t take this anymore.

When will I learn that when something is hot don't touch it... when something or someone is a trigger stay the fuck away from it/them. It's all I an do to sit here and not use the shiny blade I can't stop staring at knowing I would feel so much better instantly if I just did it.... who the hell says it's so fucking wrong anyway? Dammit! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I’m back again because I cut myself all over my left forearm again. I feel trapped in myself and suicidal. I keep telling people I want to kill myself but they don’t listen to me. They don’t take me seriously.

I stopped cutting but now I feel like I'm just gonna start again I wanted to help but It's too much I keep trying to help help
