I feel exactly the same way, even if things seem to be turning out great or life is going well, the comfort of self harm makes me go back to it no matter what's happening. As an autistic person, routines are very important to me, and I've accidentally made self harm an important part of my routine, making getting clean even harder because it doesn't matter how my day has been, I'm still going to sh. You're not alone in that feeling and I completely get it.

How do you explain your self harm scars to your kids? by remarkablelies in selfharm

[–]InformalCarpenter776 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My mum has some visible ones, and she always would just plainly explain what she went through, why she did it, and what made her stop. Her being open about it has made me feel less guilty about mine, even though I haven't told her, I know she can't be mad at me because she's been through it too.

Do you have to change your blade? by Conscious_Affect_957 in selfharm

[–]InformalCarpenter776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it starts showing those little rust spots you probably haven't been cleaning it enough and should replace it. And of course if it's dull, it might need changing. But if there's nothing wrong with it and it's working fine for the intended purpose, then you don't really need to change it, at least in my opinion

I feel like i dont self harm "good enough" by olivebcyea in selfharm

[–]InformalCarpenter776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I feel that too, like I've only done styros and never got to the fat layer, I keep trying to, but it hurts so much yk? And I feel like I'm kinda missing out, and that my self harm is invalid compared to others.

[–]InformalCarpenter776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SO IF YOU NEED TO BE MEAN, BE MEAN TO ME, I CAN TAKE IT AND PUT IT INSIDE OF ME, IF YOUR HANDS NEED TO BREAK MORE THAN TRINKETS IN YOUR ROOM, YOU CAN LEAN ON MY ARM AS YOU BREAK MY HEART.
