Sans (Self-Injury)
Addiction to Self-Harm
Stereotypes:
I hurt myself, therefore I’m Suicidal.
I always hurt myself using a knife.
I can stop whenever I feel like it.
~
Real:
Not everyone who hurt themselves wants to die. A lot of people hurt themselves because the just want to feel something, or it temporarily fills a hole inside them. Many because they feel like they don’t have control, and hurting themselves gives them just a little bit back.
Once I was talking to a friend who use to scratch themselves. I remember asking them if it was worth it. I don’t remember fully what they said because it was a few years ago, but it was along the lines of “If you mean it fills the emptiness inside and makes me feel normal, then yes.” They moved, so I don’t know if their answer would have changed.
My own experience, I used to forced myself to stay awake. It made me feel in control of a life I thought I had zero say in what happened. Was it worth it? Yeah. It allowed me to get over my insomnia. There was a cost, though. When my sleep schedule gets messed up, it takes weeks to repair. So would I do it again? No.
There are many ways people hurt themselves. Self harm means anything you do to intentionally sabotage yourself. This can be anywhere from burning and cutting, to something as simple as not letting yourself sleep.
Self harm can become an addiction. There’s a reason why I have Sans as Addiction to Self-Harm. Like I said above, it does something that the person likes. And it can be hard to see the downside of it. It can become an addiction. You can’t just take an addiction away. It can destroy people further.

Correction, the book will be up-to-date on October 27 because my teachers decided to lay homework on heavily. Like, come on, is it really necessary to assign us two 10 page essays this week? I get one, but two? I've already written more pages in essays than in my series of eight books.
Also
I think I'm just going to do one book with giant titles and a lot of disclaimers and warnings because... Quotev navigation, links in Wattpad. and personal reasons...
And now A picture Of something completely unrelated Because my ability to focus right now is GARBAGE Haha ha ha....
I like Red, okay? He's the greatest.
I drew this in a moving car with really bad drawing paper and a mechanical pencil. Normally I toss these sorts of drawings, but this time I finished and actually didn’t hate it. So now Tumblr gets it, too.
I haven’t done anything because I don’t want to exist right now.
It’s Mental Health/ADHD Awareness month, last week was Mental Health Awareness Week, OCD Awareness Week is now, World Mental Health Day was a few days ago, today is Anti-bullying Day, it’ll be Red Ribbon Week (not the one done is schools but the actual one) and normally I’d draw something for all of these, but… I’m not going to. I’ve updated Muffet’s ADHD info, though.
Oh yeah, I’m almost done with a few of the refs. And when I say a few, I mean a few. The others haven’t even been started. So don’t get your hopes up anytime soon (mostly talking to myself on that one).
Also the book, I haven’t posted the last four chapters and it’s basically still just the reason of not existing. Probably not going to update it for a few more weeks even though I’ve finished writing most of it, but it’ll be up-to-date by October 22.
Also with the book I’ve been debating if I should put everything into one book because Pros: Navigation, read in order/context, overall easier and more user-friendly, TIMELINE Cons: Constantly switching main characters in a not-very-easy-to-understand format, that one book that could make people hate me… TIMELINE
Whatever. I’ll be back eventually.

This is a video released in 2018. It talks about his channel and a friend of his, but he gives a very important message. So if you could give a few minutes to listen...
Wingding (Child Abuse)
Childhood Abuse
Stereotypes:
Because I suffered from child abuse, I have PTSD
~
Real:
By all means, they can. But not everyone does. If you and your sibling were abused, your sibling could get it and not you. Not only PTSD, but just about everything. Depression, not guaranteed. Anxiety, nope. Suicidal, definitely not.
Child Abuse is a serious problem, though.
