Help I don't think this is normal?

Sometimes whenever my insecurities start hitting I have this strong desire to hurt my genitals. Mostly because I feel this weird hatred towards me and my body because I feel ugly and unfuckable and I feel like I deserve to punish myself and I don't mean it in a sexy way. What I mean by hurt myself down there is I feel the urge to shove something in dry just to punish myself because of how disgusted I am from myself. This cannot be normal right? Had anyone ever felt anything similar to this? I know that the urge for self harm in stressful situations is common but still.
Should I seek help from a therapist?

Superb Opinion

  • Any form of self harming behaviour is abnormal.

    Around 25 years ago I suffered major depression. Ultimately I attempted suicide a number of times, but there was what therapists call a "pattern of escalation" prior to the attempts beginning. I used cutting as my method, but I know people who have burned themselves, used chemicals or developed eating disorders in response to extreme depression.

    Find a good therapist who can specifically work with body-dysmorphic issues.

  • Vaginismus is psychosomatic outside of menopause. You just need to exercise so you'll have a cute butt and lots of extra energy and guys will flock to you, especially if you wave to them. When you have a good man who'll lick you down you'll have no problem relaxing and smiling. 🦒🍆🇺🇸🎲

  • It's not normal but don't do those things. Don't try to hurt yourself. Maybe you can just practice with sex toys instead.

    • That's usually what I mean to use to hurt myself. Either fingers or a toy. I have vaginismus and I tend to attempt to force things inside out of spite because I hate the fact that I have vaginismus. There's more reasons why I feel this hatred but this is mostly what I mean. I'd never actually go out of my way to use something dangerous.

    • Don't hate yourself, love yourself. Try to listen to music you like and don't think negative thoughts so you can be happy instead of upset.

  • yes this is not normal. If it gets worse, go to the doctor. Harming the genitals is a bad thing.

  • I think you need psychological help

  • This is from the UK's National Health Service website:
    Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), or body dysmorphia, is a mental health condition where a person spends a lot of time worrying about flaws in their appearance. These flaws are often unnoticeable to others. People of any age can have BDD, but it's most common in teenagers and young adults. It affects both men and women.
    This MIGHT pertain to you, but I think you should ask your family doctor for a psych referral to have it properly investigated and treated. A therapist might be useful but this could be out of his/her scope of expertise. All the best to you and be kind to yourself.

  • I believe a therapist is the way to go. Start by speaking with your doctor.
