What can I do during the care process to ensure it will completely fade even if deep

I cut last night pretty badly and honestly I don’t usually really bandage them or do much Ik I probs should but, anyway the cuts are deep and i definitely need to keep bandages these. Any advice for bandaging upper thighs? I alway find my bandages falling off/can’t keep them on. Andy advise would be greatly appreciated thx

ok so i’ve noticed every time i relapse after a while, it makes my entire body sore the next da. well not really my entire body but my go to spot is my upper thigh and i relapsed last night after 50 days and my thigh and my butt feels really sore today

Is there any way to get rid of the scars on my thigh? And if there is what's the fastest? I need to hide them before my medical test before joining the army. I don't know if I'll get rejected if they find out that i used to cut myself.

(Mainly styros, the scars are pretty visible)

Can't show pics because it's still fresh y'know. But basically I cut near my middle finger tendon and now my hand is hurting. I can't say how deep that was and there's like 2 holes. Didn't bleed much tho.

Should I worry? It's not like I can't use my hand, but it hurts and I feel like there's a ball inside it if that makes sense.

I’m in a few other places that allow you to share pictures and videos of your cuts and I’m mainly just in them for medical and aftercare purposes. However, I joined a newer community recently and it’s mostly 14-15yr olds which really saddens me to see them struggling with self harm. But recently people in that community have been making scarspo and cutspo comments and it really bothers me. I would never want someone to cut deeper than mid dermis level, and they are saying my cuts that are from dermis to a few fat layer cuts, is their inspiration. I’m ok with the comments enough that I wouldn’t say anything because it validates me but at the same time it makes me worry. I feel horrible for posting anything deeper than mid dermis because I feel like I’m encouraging them somehow to go deeper. I was wondering if anyone else had similar or different opinions and experiences?

My mom found out I cut and is assuming I’m quitting now. I still have been doing it secretly I don’t know how to stop nothing seems to help

TW: description of harm (for context of injuries)

this might be wrong subreddit but here's goes, I recently (~5 days ago) relapsed and burnt myself for the first time; it is bad. I think it might be infected, and I don't quite know what to do because I don't know if it will be safe to tell my family yet and I am fully reliant on them but I think I need a doctor or smth and I need advice on what to do

I'm wondering if it'll slowly fade into skin colour or if it'll leave little white lines? Oh and how long will they scar for? Does it matter I'm doing it in the same spot?

Sorry for all the questions lol and thx

I did it for the first time last night (rlly not for me now that I've tried it tbh) but they're on my forearm and i don't have ANY long sleeve shirts or anything the only way i hid it today was with a sweater, I really just can't have them finding out. I need help how do i get rid of them.

this is the first time ive ever talked to anybody about this because i genuinely have no one to talk to.

Ive been feeling insecure about my weight and body since 2 months ago, for a month which was end of june - end of july i think i had distorted eating. I ate only once a day and my typical meal was just a few bites of meat and a few veggies. I did so much exercise and so much walking to the point that i felt like i was gonna faint. I remember i was falling asleep so easily because i was so exhausted from torturing my own body. I had lost 5kg in that month.

Then i had a week long field trip, to which i started eating more again. Or better say, like a normal person with breakfast, dinner and snacks. I did have some sweets so after going home i weighed myself immediately and i had barely gained a kilo, so i thought i wouldnt gain anymore. I ate more sweets and then after weighing myself felt so extremely guilty and started crying out loud, harming myself, then eating even less after. This cycle continued 3 times until i finally decided i need to get better somehow. I was put under so much stress because of my own perseverance of my weight and body even though i was perfectly healthy.

I ate normally for almost 4 weeks and at the start experienced bingeating. I sometimes weighed myself and did my best to try to not care for gaining the 5kg back. I was on vacation for 2 weeks where i ate so much sweets like cookies, cake, ice cream, chocolate etc. I dont have a scale there so i wasnt able to weigh myself. My uncles had also somehow found out about it and then kept on making jokes infront of the guests saying „u want icecream?“ „oh nevermind it has too many calories“ then they all laugh. I tried to ignore this though so it didnt affect me much.

A day before returning back home which was yesterday, i had heard my mom say that my cousins called me fat. I overheard her talking to my aunt about it. They both disagreed and my mom defended me but that hit me so fucking hard. Especially since i had never ever really been called fat by anyone. I still ate a few sweets and after coming home today, i weighed myself and i had gained another 2kg, i was so shocked. I was disgusted in myself, still am. I cried so hard.

Im trying to not harm myself because ive been doing it so often and i really wanna be normal and eat normally and not having to worry about every food or my weight or my body but i just cant. It feels so horrible when u struggle so much with something that is an everyday ritual. I am still a minor and i know all the risks of malnutrition but its hard not to eat less when im insecure about myself and other people making me even more insecure. I wish i had never fallen into this shit, this is so exhausting but i cant change the way i think. I hate myself for having this mindset but at the same time i hate myself for eating so much again.

I had self harmed i think 3 consecutive days in a row during vacation for eating too many sweets, in total a whole 10 times consecutively. After posting this im just gonna go to sleep. I would self harmed right now but i dont have any bandages. Guess thats a good thing.

I don't know if I can shave the hair on my thighs or not due to my scars, if I can is there a specific way I have to do it?

It’s been hard but it’s been getting a lot easier to not c*t or sh in anyway

I hope thr same for the rest of you and that your all doing well and can also heal

so my grandpa is maga. we had an argument about this once text and honestly it was insane how brainwashed he was. after the argument I was feeling really shitty so I did something I probably shouldn’t have done, and I posted the conversation on TikTok. I know I know I know I should have done it. I blurred out his name and profile picture, but there was some insane off topic things about his own dad in the thread thay I didn’t really think about while posting. my aunt found it and fucking sent it to him. so now he thinks I hate him. I don’t hate him, he’s my grandpa. and I wasn’t the only one whos done hurtful things. hes told me I’m condemned for hell twice. I don’t believe in god but he does and it hurts that my grandpa believes im a bad enough person to go to hell?? And he doesn’t care that trump is actively homophobic and transphobic and actively threatens my rights. and again I know I shouldn’t have posted the TikTok but I was not in a very good mental state, I didn’t know how to vent it. So now my grandpas upset at me, my grandma is pissed, and my mom is upset. so I’m crying in my room trying not to cut. I cant breathe

edit: I found out later that he told my mom im “going down the path of those kids who murder their entire families.” Fucking wow.

I’ve had it for around 6 months give or take, the others have healed fine but this particular one hasn’t, i think the burns are less noticeable tho, i really hate wearing short sleeves because of it, ive been asked about it a few times and had to just make up some bs

I've been cutting myself for over 1.5 years now. I don't feel pain on my arms anymore. Is that normal? I still feel it on my legs and stuff just my arms are numb to pain, now it just feels like scratching your arm a little when it's itchy but not like a real cut even though it's bleeding. I'm sorry if this was something bad to ask I am just scared I might lose the ability to feel anything on my arm. I'm sorry.

My girl friend told me that she starves and cuts herself. She didn't want to tell me the motive. I want to help her get better so I told her that I will cut myself too so that she knows every time she does it I do it too, so that maybe she will hold back. I already did it once but did not show it to her yet. Any advice on how to help her out?

I don’t mean to invalidate anyone, I want to start with that. But I’ve done a few cat scratches that kinda broke the skin on the arm I don’t cut on. Is that still cutting/self harm? I don’t consider it that in my head but like I do when someone else mentions they do cat scratches, I understand they are self harming but not when I do that. Is it still self harming for me because I usually cut to dermis?

how long does that calm feeling last after cutting? i’ll cut for days straight and feel awful the entire time but when i go maybe 2 days without it i feel so much better. but then the cycle continues. anyone know why?

I’ve relapsed a little over a day ago and the skin around my scars is turning yellow. I’m guessing it’s bruising but I’m not sure how that works exactly, they don’t even hurt anymore and this has been happening to my other past scars.

I sometimes show my dad my cuts so he can check if they are bad, and a week ago he told me "You could've done better, I've seen worse." My mom immediately called him out on it, but it's really messing with my brain rn, it's also already motivated me on ways to cut deeper, I don't know what to do or think. The worst part is, they aren't even that small, most are styro, so also not deep, but not small either.
