At what point should I concerned with my coping mechanism?
TW: mentioned of suicidal or depressed¿ But I'm not btw.
I do think it's normal for people to struggle with stress and anxiety, and I also think it's normal for people to have their own coping mechanisms.
Whenever I'm stressed or anxious, I love to strangle myself. FYI, I'm not depressed or anything. I just find comfort in it, and I thought it was normal and fine since I know there are people who do similar things during sx.
I mean, if they think it's pretty normal to do it during that, isn't it also fine if I do it when I'm stressed or anxious?
I'm asking because like I said, I'm not suicidal. And I don't want to accidentally kms. Though, over the past years, I'm still alive. Oh, too add, I don't have severe anxiety or what, it simply comes and goes kinda thing, so I don't try to strangle myself like everyday yk. Any thoughts?
And I'm sorry idk if i should NSFW this or not, it is my first time posting one. Is the trigger warning manual.. Nvm this one, I'm talking to myself.
