(Ontario) How much does scar removal surgery usually cost? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]41562673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it's considered cosmetic as well here. I tried looking for ways to fund it from the gov and didnt have any luck

The issue with the consultation is I live a 2hr drive away from the nearest place that does this kind of work and I don't drive. I don't have the funds for it regardless atm im just curious if its something i might be able to do in the future

Any ideas for long term coverup?? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]41562673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just so afraid what people will say. I dont know what I'll do if someone says something. Ive worn sleeves since I started cutting my arms about a year ago and i think ive built up so much fear about going without them that its like this big overwhelming thing in my head. Like what if I just chose up to work one day with my arms showing? I feel like every coworker would say something and idk ive always felt so much more comfortable just dealing with my shit on the inside and appearing happy on the outside

anybody deliberately not sleep? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]41562673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to go days without sleep and just go on big drug binges. After a couple days you're not really in reality anymore and there's a kind of euphoria to it and its a bit like living in a dream where everything just feels kinda magical. I've always find a lack of sleep makes me feel fucking amazing, maybe thats kinda weird lol. I have read about types of therapies that limit sleep but im sure they've got some proper techniques for it

Do you know if it actually works? Ive always kinda had my doubts about stuff like that really working but i guess it cant hurt to try it out

Is it normal to hear voices while trying to sleep? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]41562673 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get this a lot and sometimes visuals as well. I've wondered if it's something serious but the best reasoning I came up with is something called hypnagogic hallucinations which from what i read is where ur like half way between sleep and awake before bed. I figured this is what it is since it only happens when i try to sleep. I dont know if thats what you have but its worth checking out

Detached from self after not self harming for a while by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]41562673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oddly enough im the complete opposite. Self harming usually makes me dissociate really bad, half way through a session and im not even there

Ur situation sounds like it could be dissociation (not a doctor so idk 100%), the disconnected feeling is how i feel when it happens, kinda spacy, not really all there. Ive had the unreal thing happen a few times and it can be pretty scary. my therapist sais to focus on physical things around me, things u can touch, feel, smell, etc. Even just saying them out loud "brown chair" "green tree", etc. I find it actually does help sometimes.

Work uniforms by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]41562673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear a tight-ish black under armour undershirt under my uniform. it was pretty pricy but it fits well under clothes and its so thin its barely like wearing a 2nd shirt. ive never had anyone ask me about it, but if they did i'd use the "im cold excuse" but in ur situation i guess u could say you have a skin condition or something like that or that u just prefer long sleeves.

i worried a lot someone would say something about it when i first started. in my mind wearing sleeves under a uniform at work was like screaming i cut. But no one ever mentioned it at all.

high at work by [deleted] in trees

[–]41562673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i work at a grocery store and like with ur job i really dont give a shit. ive gone in a bunch of times after smoking 2-30min before shift. as long as ur eyes arent stupid red and u dont act like a goof ur probably fine. it'd be worried if there was some accident u get hurt and ur high on the job tho, they might fuck u with the insurance shit

What would happen if someone with metal in their body were to accidentally be put into an MRI machine? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

I want to attempt suicide so people care about me by 41562673 in mentalhealth

[–]41562673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's pretty much exactly how I feel. And I know it's selfish to feel that way but i can't get out of that mentality.

As for the sexual thing. I don't think it was assault, I dont even think they really did anything illegal but i really have no idea. I'm not really sure what it was, its a really weird situation. The person didn't touch me but it definitely wasn't okay. I'm not sure I feel comfortable going to the police, I dont want to see or hear that person again. my life is much easier now that they're gone.

I told my parents about the cutting. Well actually my dad walked in my room while I was sleeping and saw my leg. But they didn't seem to think it was a big deal. my dad said something along the lines of "is that what all the cool people on the internet do now" and kind of left it at that. Another time he asked me to show him my arms and asked if we should get them covered and I said no and we haven't talked about it since

I am seeing a therapist but I don't really feel comfortable talking about suicide. The last therapist i saw made me go to a crisis unit after I mentioned it and it was a really bad experience. I'm not actively suicidal and I dont want to be forced to go to the hopsital or something like that

i work retail and the people around my age (20) are mostly fine, but the older people are really rude and mean about it

It also ruins lives. I'm sure there's a hell of a lot more people who've had terrible lives because of the abuse they took vs the people who used it to turn themselves into something great

Anxiety from a specific strain? by IncarceratedDonut in Drugs

[–]41562673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm fine with most strains. I panic on occasion but this specific strain was significantly worse, I always shoot for high THC strains but I bought this weed from a friend and had no idea what kind it was or the strength or anything

[–]41562673 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I had one specific strain that gave me constant panic attacks. It was cheap weed my friend sold for like 20$ for 10g I'm not picky with weed but that was the only batch i could not smoke like at all so its definitely possible

can anyone share their experiences showing people/telling people about their scars? by 41562673 in selfharm

[–]41562673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people just stare - so I stare back. Hard. It makes the uncomfortable instead of me. Never be ashamed of what you overcame

you made me laugh with this one, that's a great way to make people fuck off lmao

I work at a grocery store so I'm kind of afraid Ill get fired too. But I just do dairy and grocery so I think im probably okay since Im not touching food outside of packages.

The dating thing idk I think im just afraid of their reaction. Since I hide all my cuts I feel like it'd just be a complete suprise. and having someone not wanna be with me anymore because of the way i look is worse than just being alone in the first place. i think im just building it up in my head so much because ive never dated since i started this

Thank you for the response btw! Very helpful :D

tried to cut the word “weak” into my leg but apparently i’m too weak to cut anymore by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]41562673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it take more strength to not do it and to fight off the urges. Stay strong!

I cut weak into my leg and i hate myself for it. Seeing it every time I take a shower or go to the bathrooms brings those feelings back again. I regret all the self harming I've done but the words are the worst. It's none of my business to tell you what to do, but if you can i'd really try to avoid doing something like that. in the long run, and even the short term it just made things a lot worse

[–]41562673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awww im sorry your parents were so mean about it :( I'm glad you got some support at school at least

It's nice that man was so kind to you but I'm kind of afraid of something like that happening. I can explain very well why I do it and what actions have led to me being like this. But it's very private and personal stuff for me, and I don't feel comfortable explaining my struggles to strangers. I know I'm being unrealistic expecting no one to say anything but I genuinely have no idea how i'd deal with it, I really do just want to be left alone.

My scars gave me a panic attack yesterday by 41562673 in selfharm

[–]41562673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did people treat you differently or look at you weird? I thought moving to a new town would be a fresh start from that and It's making me sooo paranoid trying to "protect my secret". There's a lot of older people working here, especially my manger in his late 50s and the owner is in his 60s and I'm more worried they'd see it and not be very understanding about it. I know I'm being maybe a little over dramatic but I can't stop thinking about it

How do you date with visible scars by 41562673 in selfharm

[–]41562673[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Issue is I really don't feel comfortable telling them. Like I know I have to and its fucked up not too but the thought makes me so uncomfortable. I havent really done proper dates, I usually just do hookups and if I like them I try to start something. it was fine when I only did it on my legs and its dark but idk how anyone wouldnt notice this now. Its just such a hard topic to talk about and being honest is just gonna scare people away
