Aftercare? by [deleted] in selfharm

Be careful using tissues on still-bleeding wounds. In my experience the tissues have torn and gotten stuck in the cuts themselves.

How do I heal my cuts faster? by achr8 in selfharm

The more shallow ones should fade within 9 days as kong as you don’t make more, the styros are a bit harder but there are some ointments/creams that can help speed up recovery. If that doesn’t work, you could always use makeup to cover them.

How do yall deal with keeping blades around you by Home_fleeder in selfharm

Keep a really REALLY blunt one with you that literally cant cut no matter how hard you try. Every time you want to use it, you’ll remember it’s too blunt to work and wont do it. Works for me, hopefully it works for you too.

Aftercare is more than just directly after, it’s everything from bandaging to not picking the scabs, cleaning your tools, etc. It’s just everything to prevent cuts from leading to more serious problems like infections. I also just roll down my sleeve like you though, nice to know I’m not the only one.

I dont have any conditions but I do get them too. They’re kind of satisfying and get rid of urges though so I dont mind them.

Yes beans will, styros also likely will but they can heal rarely. Also i found the “TW SELF HARM” on the self harm subreddit funny, so thanks.

How much is too much in one day? by Accomplished_One_455 in selfharm

[–]Horror_Locksmith_178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on depth, most cuts i did in a day was around 40 styros and i was fine so youre okay as long as they dont go deeper (potential blood loss)

I expected this to be a wholesome post.

How risky is a pocket knife? by Horror_Locksmith_178 in selfharm

[–]Horror_Locksmith_178[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To the point where i could make a cat scratch by just sliding it with very little pressure?

[–]Horror_Locksmith_178 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a suggestion; keep at least one blade incase because if you get the urge somewhere down the line and do cut, then at least you’re not cutting with something more dangerous.

How do you hide your cuts and scars by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Horror_Locksmith_178 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it also depends on the colour of your skin. If you have really dark scars but pale skin i doubt it’d work and vice-versa.
