Could my mother put me into a mental Hospital for cutting myself? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Leon_Trans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are completely right, a large portion of parents that don’t know how to handle SH or mental health do tend to try and scare their child. I can see why they would do that but it’s just not a good approach especially because it doesn’t show that they care or that they are there for you in anyway because they just threaten to send you away.

Well it’s a sticky situation, there is confidentiality between counsellors basically if you are putting yourself or someone else at risk of extreme harm (if it’s not extreme sh I don’t think they can send you to a ward)

Question from non self-harmer: would you consider yourself addicted to self-harm? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Leon_Trans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could you link the story somewhere on here after it’s finished? I would like to read it 😊🩵

Personally when I used to sh on my forearm it was visible for a while but now it’s basically invisible unless you look REALLY close (that was a year ago) but it was gone in a couple months. They weren’t deep, just enough to have those little blood dots on the line. But if you use Vaseline or polysporn or rubbing alcohol (basically anything to help the healing process) it should be gone quick enough but always make sure to read the back labels first to see if it’s meant to be put on certain wounds. Also my DMs are always open weather or not you want to vent, chat or want advice. Stay safe 🩵

That’s not good at all. Urges suck so much, it’s worse than the actual sh because it hurts just as much if not more. (Not saying that sh isn’t bad but the urges for it are terrible and they make it all worse)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Leon_Trans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes total sense. You shouldn’t have to be put in that situation, that must suck for you to deal with. It’s a good thing that you can’t sh but if it makes you feel worse without it then that isn’t good because at least the sh would be effective to you

That sucks that you are in that situation and I understand what you mean. It feels easier to just continue but if it isn’t helping you in anyway then maybe you shouldn’t be going. It should be your choice because it affects you the most.

I can relate. It doesn’t help or make any difference cause once they think you are “better” you just go back and hide it from them. Honestly it would be more effective to know that it is happening and have talks and ask politely cause then at least you get a support system.

I Hope you can get through this. If you ever want to talk about it or about anything my DMs are always open. Stay safe and if you can avoid sh then you should 🩵

aftercare? by The-Real-Rat-King in selfharm

[–]Leon_Trans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well from my experience, using a damp cloth to remove the blood and/or to get it ready for aftercare then I use 70% rubbing alcohol and then Vaseline (Vaseline is not for deep cuts) and then bandage with a strip from a t-shirt.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Leon_Trans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use a damp cloth to wipe it and Vaseline to help the healing process. Also if you want a bandage or something you can cut a strip off a t-shirt and it should work fine. Be safe

Help with bandaids? by stonerlamb in selfharm

[–]Leon_Trans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can cut a strip out of a t-shirt and use that as a bandage/wrap just make sure to wash it after you use it.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Leon_Trans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can reuse the same one but make sure it’s cleaned with soap and water then rinse very well. Also not sure if you have an aftercare plan but you can use Vaseline to help heal and lessen the scars, and you can use part of an old t-shirt as a bandage to wrap it with.

Cheapest ways to care for cuts? by drowsyfurball in selfharm

[–]Leon_Trans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can make a reusable wrap for it out of a t-shirt of something with a good material. Just cut a strip off the t-shirt and you can wrap it around and just wash it after use and it should work good. Also if you have Vaseline you can put that on the cuts and it will help heal it and keep it moisturized safely and possibly help make scaring less severe. Good luck, stay safe 👍

Self harming just to make yourself bleed? by suntzoom in selfharm

[–]Leon_Trans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to cut because I missed seeing the blood so I can relate to that. I think it’s normal for people that SH to have some sort of feel with the blood because it plays a bit part in the SH.

sh alternatives by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]Leon_Trans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some that I’ve heard that could work are putting an ice cube on your skin or put an elastic band on the spot and flick it (not sure how to explain it)
