Firefly 23 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 This post has been flagged with warnings, as follows: Self-Harm Click this notice to reveal the content. Someone at my school ended up severely harming themself and that ended up triggering me (even though I don't know the person...) I am still shaken up about it and I wanna cry...I can't cry and I feel like it would be selfish to but I feel like I need to....That could've been me that had harmed very badly and sent to the hospital and it ended up triggering me very badly...Is it selfish to feel so unsecure and down about something that didn't happen to me? I don't even know the person! (I still feel this way though...) If I do end up crying..then is that selfish also...? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsoon Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Hey @Firefly 23 Thank you for opening up about this. It's completely normal and totally understandable to be triggered by this. We all have emotional reactions to distressing situations, and it's really important to let out those feelings and talk about them, because otherwise, they end up getting bottled up. What do you think? How are you feeling today? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, Yeah, I completely get what you're saying about how this can make you feel when its in your safe zone. I'm wondering, how are you feeling about your safe zone after this has happened?

Monsoon Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Hey there, I'm glad that you're feeling better. I think that with something like this, time is the best healer. If something similar happens again, is there anyone in school you could go to for support? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
