TW:talk about SH and mental illnesses
If your using self harm as a shock device for your book, get some help. I've seen a lot of fanfics using SH to "shock" viewers. When the self harming happens it has no message on it what so ever. At first the character abruptly out of know where starts to SH and when a thenthey abruptly stop because the love interest says something like " please don't do this...for me🥺" like really?
I'm sorry but I find it weird how many people like their MC to have multiple illnesses and non of them are displayed throughout the story. If the MC had DID show a side to it that's not disrespectful harmful to that community. Same with, OCD, DEPRESSION, BIPOLAR DISORDER, BPD,PTSD and etc. And if you don't have a mental illness I recommend not righting about it. You as a person who has never suffered from a Mental illness that your MC has probably won't understand the illness fully. Like how people with OCD are constantly protrayed as perfectionist who is a compulsive cleaner. That's not OCD that's simply a stereotype that many people that don't have OCD preceive as what OCD is.
MENTAL ILLNESS IS NOT A TREND
SELF HARMING ISN'T A TREND
