This is how I let myself know how deep my emotional scars are and would not ever again say anything to another professional as this is NOT parasuicidal behavior. Some of us just do what we can...no different than a tattoo or a body piercing...how I see thus...

Hi, @parus. I add my welcome to the welcome messages you've received here and in other discussions on Connect. We look forward to getting to know more about you. You mention treatment-resistant depression and PTSD, as well as emotional scars. It sounds like self-harm is or was your way of coping. I agree that self-harm is not parasuicidal, but it is an unhealthy way to cope with emotional pain, intense anger and frustration. You've also shared that it is hard to talk and to trust anyone. We hope that here on Connect you will feel comfortable telling us more about yourself. We do not judge. Perhaps sharing your emotional pain with us online will help.

@parus Have you ever talked with anyone about those emotional scars?
