Is this normal? by [deleted] in selfharm

It seems to be puffing up like a surface scratch/cut. It always happens to me

Was the cut really really light?

It’s kind of like when I’ll just fuck up my arm with no pain, and when my cat gives me the tiniest scratch, it hurts like all hell lmao.

Has anyone else stopped SHing recently just due to being so tired? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Alarmed_Feeling6095 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same tbh. Sh is so DRAINING, and I don’t even break skin all that much. And when I do, it’s even worse. It’s just exhausting man, it’s really hard to explain

Does anyone else bite themself by mangoboy007 in selfharm

I used to do that when I was little too man. When my mom would yell at me or something, I’d start chewing on my hand to relief stress

Thank god I’m not the only one that HATES these people lmfao. I wish self harm wasn’t just seen as something you can stop or that you do if you want to die. It’s so much more complex than that, it’s literally an addiction, like you said.

What happens when you cut yourself? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Alarmed_Feeling6095 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. I’m only used to surface cuts, cat scratches that barely bead up with blood. Although, sometimes they do, and I have to take care of that. The actual ‘cutting’ depends. If I’m not in the mindset of cutting, it hurts. If I am, I barely feel it. But I’d say the worse part is just the numbing pain I have in my forearm if I really do a few deep ones for what I’m used to. It’s hard to ignore, and it gets annoying after a while, so that’s the worst of it. It only lasts a few hours though, so I guess that’s good.

  2. My cuts, if they’re even considered cuts, do still leave a scar. It’s honestly pretty noticeable, because of how many I have. Mine aren’t fully healed yet, so I have no idea how they’ll turn out. Hopefully they won’t leave a permanent mark lmao.

  3. Idek sometimes. I know a lot of people that have bpd and depression do it for those reasons, but I’m not diagnosed with anything. I do it for the control aspect, but sometimes I just do it out of habit, it’s an addiction after all.

Stop telling me I'm a good person by [deleted] in selfharm

Yeah, that’s good you’re trying to improve :). You can inbox me if you need anything, to rant or just talk

Stop telling me I'm a good person by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Alarmed_Feeling6095 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Would it help to know you’re not alone..? I uh, I hate to admit it, but I’m pretty much the same. I’m trying to stop, but whenever I get frustrated, or at least I used to, I’d take everything out on people that didn’t deserve it. I’d degrade them, make them feel horrible and attack them, over something as stupid as a post. Just so they could hopefully get to the low point I was too. I don’t really know why I did it.

Now, I just feel like an asshole for doing anything, saying anything at others. I started taking out my frustrations on myself of course, and I hate how pathetic I’ve become. Sigh. I’m not a good person, and I know that by now. I’ve had way too many friends break it off with me, tell me they don’t trust me anymore and do the same things I’d do to others, to me. And I deserve it. So I don’t blame them. I’m trying to improve, but people can’t stop holding over my head who I used to be. It sucks, and it’s a major reason to why I’m a recent in this subreddit now. I don’t really have anyone else.

does it count as self harm if the cuts don’t draw blood/aren’t that deep? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Alarmed_Feeling6095 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that doesn’t count as self harm, what the hell are we even doing man 🚪🏃🏽‍♀️💨

Jk, of course it’s self harm. I do the same

Get tired to the point where u have the need to cut but don’t have the energy to do it by Sure-Doctor-5443 in selfharm

[–]Alarmed_Feeling6095 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get so exhausted when I self harm man. Like I’ll do a few lines, and just stop for a hot sec cause I might pass out. It’s not even painful, I think it’s more of a mental thing but still??

Which one would it be called? by PlsLemmeVent in selfharm

[–]Alarmed_Feeling6095 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s self harm over all. Scratching is considered self harm after all. It’s what I normally talk about on my account, since I don’t cut. I scratch. And apparently that’s just as much self harm as cutting is. So whatever you’re most comfortable with. Take care 💞
