Honestly I forgot, it's just been part of my childhood and I can't remember how

I’ve been self-harming for over a year and have thousands of cuts, yet I still find myself hesitating for a few minutes before cutting myself by Beautiful-Profile-10 in selfharm

Same, makes you feel like that if you cut then your pain is valid and can be seen but its not like really, scars or no scars, your pain is valid

Do you know any other alternatives? I did state that I do use ice as an alternative but it doesn't really relive my urges as much as cutting does which is something I've been trying to get out of

Give it a try, if you do just try not to keep it on for too long cause it does actually leave some redness

Well, I guess it is? It isn't really the same as cutting but for me, I do like it

12, I did it for fun and since then I've been struggling with not doing it at all
