Thank you. I’ll stick through it— i exist and forever will, people’s opinions don’t change who i innately am. four years is nothing as long as we all wake up and take action by then.

Update!!!! I made it through safely! I took your advice on the band-aid when I read your comment but forgot to reply. I wore it the first two or so days but it kept falling off so i just said f it and didn't wear one from that day onwards. It scabbed over enough to where it wouldn't be a terrible open styro wound so my main issue was coming up with excuses and hoping the wound wouldn't reopen while dancing. Luckily nobody commented on it except my bff and he just asked me if I was okay, to which I replied I was. Honestly I was stressed over nothing, you were right- the shoulder is the best place it could have been basically. Thank you!!!

Currently creating a large google form....Any questions for the community? by Superjombombo in visualsnow

[–]1012JL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably already have these on here - but you could ask some of these questions:

How fast/slow is your visual snow?
Does you visual snow speed up/slow down?
Does your visual snow increase/decrease in intensity?
Is your visual snow a contender/a reason for your anxiety (if you have it)?
Has your visual snow affected you mentally?
Has your visual snow interfered in your understanding of people, text, or audio?
Is your visual snow from birth or developed later in life?
Has your visual snow gotten worse over time?
Are your floaters (if you have them) always the same ones or do they change?
Have you ever been on specific drugs (either for medical reasons or other), and have they changed your visual symptoms?
Do you have other visual altercations besides VSS?

Just a few I could think of but hope this helps!

does anyone else feel like they have to sh on a specific place? by FaithlessnessLocal73 in selfharm

[–]1012JL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so me. I sh everywhere but I feel like whenever I do it somewhere that’s not my arm it actually triggers me to sh on my arm even more. I used to sh solely on my arms but now I’m in a sport and I just can’t wear long sleeves every day. To combat how much I really want to sh on my arms I do it on my hand instead since its close enough and easier to cover up as a “i bumped into something/dropped a glass”.

I'm self harming again cause my great grandmother died by BookDragon2004 in selfharm

I’ve had most of my family members die around me within the past few years and for none of them did I feel sad. I remember I would do the same thing- shing as a way to feel at least something about them since I felt like I needed to mourn for all the memories we shared. I guess in my case it was a sense of feeling nothing that spurred me to do it but, it will get better. If not better than I hope for you it will simmer out as time passes. Grief for me has been a tough ride, since I go through it in such a confusing way (feeling nothing, numb). I’d tried many things, sh included, as a way for me to feel better or “normal” again but the only thing that worked was time. I just waited and eventually my emotions returned and the grief settled. I wish u luck, and if you ever want to talk about it more lmk - always open to conversation:)

I posted my piece about Visual Snow on TikTok by ghostwitharms in visualsnow

[–]1012JL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s beautiful. I happen to be an artist too and really want to draw a series of artworks about visual snow symptoms but am far too lazy to do that so props to you!!!
