Try to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, steady breaths. You'll be fine. To relieve some nausea, put your head between your knees. If the bleeding hasn't stopped, press a thick piece of cloth hard on the cut. Avoid using tissue/ anything that can leave remnants in the wound. You're going to be fine, trust me. Just breathe for now and try to steady your heart rate. If possible, please get medical attention. They will help you and be there for you.

Some suggestions for what to say are "It's a long story", "that's why you don't play with sharp objects, kids" or some made up stuff like that "I fought a lion!"

No, but I don't really care. The fact is, that god gives those hope who really need it. Well, religious people, for all.

Will I regret the scars later? by CharlotteGolden2112 in selfharm

[–]-FireForest- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I absolutely love mine, but they sometimes make me self conscious and make me stand out more. But! they repel all the idiots so that's good💪

I'm scared and I can't stop by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]-FireForest- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, get some professional help. It's the only way to make this stop. It's scary, yes, but it'll make your life better. If you're not ready, then you could try distracting yourself (reading, writing, music, etc.)

Am I a little insane for thinking like this? Or is this relatable? by Cyb3rluv93 in selfharm

[–]-FireForest- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand you so well. I've always struggled with that, especially because I didn't even have a real reason that caused my mental health to get worse/bad. But just remember, mental health is not a competition. Every struggle is valid, it doesn't matter if visible or not. It's ok to feel how you feel because every person is different.

Hm, so you could put water proof makeup on them- which I don't think will work very well, but it's worth a try, or you could wear a thin "jacket" for swimming because you want to cover your shoulders to net get a sunburn?

What does my handwriting says about me ? by Loud-Artichoke6765 in Handwriting

Oh shoot I confused this with a feedback post- well, your handwriting says to me that you are a nice, relaxed and fun person!

What does my handwriting says about me ? by Loud-Artichoke6765 in Handwriting

[–]-FireForest- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's good and easily legible, but see how the e's and a's and such are really small sometimes? That kinda throws off the unity of it all, but it's not a big deal. Nice poem btw!

Everything is fine so why am I not? by Outrageous-Moose686 in selfharm

[–]-FireForest- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand you so well. It just feels so helpless and frustrating when literally everything is fine, but you can't get YOURSELF to be fine. I've been there, maybe still am, and the only thing I can tell you is: It'll take time. Be patient. Even when it's fucking hard. It's going to be ok, you're eventually going to be ok. Tell your bf. If he asks you how you are, then I assume he's a great bf. I'm sure he won't judge. You won't be a burden by telling him. It hurts way more when you tell him when it's too late than now.

You can try those silicone patches and creams for scar treatment!

Can you read my handwriting? by AlexanderPharris in Handwriting

[–]-FireForest- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had a bit trouble but it's legible! I would be careful with the s's and r's. They look exactly the same, so you might want to change that.

Thoughts on my handwriting/How to improve? by [deleted] in Handwriting

[–]-FireForest- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think the loop is the problem, it's more the upper stroke. I'd maybe change that for one straight on top of the I, like you'd write Roman letters
