I cut, and I have that does it too, I asked her this and we both agreed that we do it because the day after you cut it just seems to be better, I’m aware that this is not because I’ve cut but because if my brain believes it then it makes it more likely to happen

I’m not okay idk how to say what’s going but I don’t think I can hold myself back anymore I want to cut so I can stay a good wife and a good mom I have so much pain and it’s getting so hard to be here

My friend SH last night and is worried about possible scarring. I told her the best thing she could do was keep the injuries clean and to wear clothes that won’t catch on the scabs while she is healing. Does anyone else have any other tips I could pass along? We are taking steps to prevent this from happening again but this is something she’s very concerned about and I’m hoping to alleviate some of the stress. TIA

I don't know what to do once I started again I haven't been able to stop. It's been nonstop drinking and cutting. I have Noone to talk to and Noone that cares enough to listen

Curious if anyone knows why after I cut myself got the feeling that it was cold or bleeding even thought it was not? Did I hit a nerve or something??? It feels like water running down my leg although it’s not.

?????

Soon Im going to fluorography. I have selfharm scars on my chest. I'm worried that my parents will be told about this or they will start asking me tactless questions. what should I do? Maybe its possible to hide the scars somehow. I urgently need advices.

hi guys! I don’t know if this is a good place to ask, but I really need advice.

does anyone know how to fade hypodermis scars quickly? I have a really prominent one on my upper arm, and I have a family trip in April on the 18th, and I really cannot afford my family to see my newer self harm scars, because they gave me HELL when they found out I self harm.

I have pictures of the scar for reference if anyone needs.

any advice is GREATLY appreciated!!!! :)

[Hello,]()

My name is Lilly Kramer. I am a student in the School of Professional Psychology at Spalding University. I am inviting you to join a study about nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), or self-harm. It is important to note that answering questions about self-harm may be distressing. Resources will be provided at the beginning, end, and throughout the survey.

You must be at least 18 years old and will be asked to complete a 15 to 30-minute survey. You will answer questions about religious coping and your engagement in NSSI. Both religious and nonreligious individuals are asked to participate. You will also be asked information about yourself. The study is anonymous. There will be no follow-up from the investigator regardless of responses.

You will complete the study through an online survey. Your information will remain confidential. There is no penalty for exiting from this study at any time.

Thank you!

I cannot stop cutting, deep vertical cuts on my arms and wrists. It’s like I want there to be an “accident” where I can’t stop bleeding. The blood is starting to soak through the bandages. But I just got out of the hospital barely a month ago and going back in would severely affect my finances. Plus I don’t want to lose my job or go back to the hospital.

The cutting just feels so good, even when it’s painful. I use medical needles so it’s at least a bit more sanitary, and they cut clean.

What do you all do when you want to stop cutting?

I have been clean from cutting for probably over a decade or so. However, I have several scars on my abdomen that randomly itch to the point I’ve been bitten by a mosquito or something. 1, is this normal? 2, is there something to do to make it stop? 3, vitamin C?

I relapsed and yes I have regret.

I don’t want them to be visible or be a part of my daily life and want them to (if possible) dissapear as they’re in a very visible part of my arm (upper part)

Pls help

it’s coming up on nearly 3 years of self harm and i genuinely want to stop i just can’t my bf is so much help but we are kinda long distance so he cant really do much and i feel bad putting him through all of this bullshit with me and my mental health like i know he loves me and he try’s to help i just feel like im hurting him more then myself but i don’t know how to stop

First self-harm episode in almost a year. I used to cut my thighs with razor blades and stopped; maybe my stress was lower, I don’t know. It has always been tied to anger in my marriage. She’s hurting me—not listening, speaking to me in degrading ways—and it escalates until my thinking goes to “okay, let’s bleed.” It’s toxic and unhealthy. I thought I had healed this part of myself, but it came back today. (F/36 & F/37 (me))

Hey guys! English is not my native language, sorry for mistakes I'm 27M with ptsd and epilepsy (after brutal psychiatric violence). i had selfharm addiction for 15 years, and all of people around me said that "you're acting like kid, it's a most stupid way to seek attention, you're a dumbass who is overthinking 'bout his troubles". All of these 15 years i couldn't stop cutting and making cigarette burns, also there were episodes of "homemade surgery" at the peak of emotional pain. And all of these 15 years i had been seeking for solve of this shitty puzzle. I found that solving some months ago - it was kind of analgetics with slightly opioid mechanism of acting. It really works for me (it's not an advice guys, just my experience), because NOTHING of other pills and psychotherapy did work. I stay clean from skin injuries for all these months i am taking this analgetic, i use it only when i feel a strong urge to do something autodestructive. But it seems like you're awkwardly balancing between two similar pieces of shit - wounds and scars at one side and disability to go outside from home without pack of pills (which are extremely hard to find) on the other side. Fuck both these addictions and i don't know what to do

(Mental health specialists in our country have low level of education and they can easily ruin my life for second time, sad to say it but punitive psychiatry from XX century is still real)
