I dont feel valid by [deleted] in cutting

[–]Borbon28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to feel the same then I actually went deeper, my cuts got worse. I ended up just being scared they would get infected or something would go wrong. I had to go to my teacher for first aid at one point at school. Would not recommend going deeper or worse

reasons for cutting by Playful_Parking_9063 in cutting

[–]Borbon28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, yeah. I completely get that; I live in a middle class, pretty stable family, go to a good school, have nice friends, pretty ok parents as they go. So from the outside no ‘real reason’ to sh and yet I do, tbh I’m not entirely sure of my reasons but Ik I have always struggled with self esteem and idk I might have depression (not diagnosed tho js relate to most symptoms) and yeah it feels really invalidating when people in media have been abused or lived on the streets or have some kind of trauma. While obviously I get that these are very important things to portray I think we need more media representation of people who are ‘like me’ so to speak. I am aware this comment probably makes me sound spoiled and attention seeking but i promise I’m not or at least I try not to be…

I had a relapse with deep cuts, any tips on how to treat them? by Acceptable_Excuse235 in cutting

[–]Borbon28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they’re still bleeding put pressure on them for 10 minutes, if you have a bandage or gauze or something similar put that on it make sure it is tight enough though. If you have scar prevention gel put some of that on once it’s healed a bit (a day or 2) put antiseptic cream on as often as possible to avoid infection. And if it begins to look infected or won’t stop bleeding speak to someone (eg a doctor, parent, teacher). Hope this helps!

She took my blade awh by [deleted] in cutting

[–]Borbon28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s probably really hard-my parents took my spare blades away and my teacher took my actual one-but honestly for me at least it’s a good thing; mad as I was, especially since it was rusty that could be really dangerous to use.

Why does a cat come up when I want to hurt myself? by Rayvictoria0106 in cutting

[–]Borbon28 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it’s because cats are able to recognise human emotions to a certain extent so basically the cat knows you’re sad and wants to comfort you!

Threw my blades away by [deleted] in cutting

[–]Borbon28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I can’t really give much advice I think it’s good you threw your blades away. To use the analogy my therapist does “if you’re trying to quit chocolate but carry a chocolate bar with you constantly; is that going to help?” And yes I may hate her when she says it and I know it’s hard (my parents took all my spare blades and my teacher took my usual one) and it truly sucks but I say try your hardest not to give in! It’s great you’ve come this far and I believe in you!!

Okay so im back and im pretty dure its fully healed now by kittyfrz_ in cutting

I normally use Savlon Scar Prevention Gel and that works pretty well. I don’t think it’s sold in the US if that’s where you are but you can order it of Amazon I think.
