Cutting and Self Harm – Why So Serious?
\*disclaimer\* I am not advocating that cutting is right or wrong. For some people, like myself, it is just a way you have to live with when emotional pain becomes unbearable for a good portion of my life. This subject means the world to me. When I look at the scars on my arm, it is a constant reminder of who I was and how far I have come since I was a teenager. It’s a sensitive subject, but I would rather talk about it than push it to the side. Here is my story of how cutting and self-harm was a significant part of my life.
So how can you support The Bipolar Writer? Well, there are several ways.
Listen to the latest episode here.
- There is becoming a listener supporter through the anchor.fm. That link is here. It is simple to support Apple Pay or a credit card for once month, and you can end your support whenever it feel right to you. There are options for $0.99, $4.99, and $9.99, and all options will go 100% to the podcast. No need to create an account.
- Last is Buy Me A Coffee, a great platform in my mind and where I want to grow most of my lister support for the Podcast, blog, and in some ways, my writing. You can be a monthly subscriber, a one time supporter, and there are options for extras that include one on one mental health advocacy Zoom call where you can ask mental health questions and tiers with my books. Soon to come will be t-shirts, mugs, and stickers available as soon as I get all that together. You can click the button below.

Great post and such a taboo subject to tackle. I have my scars and people squirm at the sight of them and look horrified. They neglect to ask the reason why and their origin. It’s sometimes actually a blessing for me as it means I don’t have to converse with certain people. My experience was a short term period of 3 or 4 weeks. The first time it happened I had no recollection of it. I’d had a bath and gone to bed. In the night I woke up to go to the toilet, my arm was wrapped in a towel, I walked in the bathroom to see the bath looking like a murder scene. I have no recollection of it at all. I must have hit a manic high bipolar phase, that’s the only explanation I can give. Since then, I’ve had 2 further episodes were I was just so numb from emotion I was just trying to invoke some sort of feeling. Luckily, I haven’t had any problems in nearly a year
