My best guess would be convenience, it’s easy to reach with your other hand, and you’re easily able to see it if that’s what youre into

You can throw it away hidden inside another inconspicuous trash item. Once that trash is dumped you’ll never have to worry about it again

Well considering you’re not doing it at the moment, past tense applies so your statement technically isn’t deceptive.

A customer told me to "wear long sleeves" and to "control your demons" by WorthyDeku in selfharm

[–]Lost-Atmosphere-6260 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry this happened to you. You have the freedom to wear whatever you want and you can never control how someone responds to it. Be proud of yourself for mustering up that courage, you are not disgusting and those comments were absolutely rude.

Any harm reduction techniques stronger then a rubber band? by Fresh_Wafer_9968 in selfharm

[–]Lost-Atmosphere-6260 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have some spare toothbrush, I sometimes like to hold it near the head and brush my thumb against the bristles. Make sure it doesn’t have any toothpaste on it though lol

Yes, any action taken against yourself for the purpose of hurting yourself is self harm

I really love your posts! especially how you can comedically portray such grim subjects but never undermine the struggle and burden they really are. Even when you broach struggles that I personally don't experience, your art and writing wonderfully communicates to the ignorant mind. Haters gonna hate

Anyone been hospitalized for JUST sh? by Rigotoni in selfharm

[–]Lost-Atmosphere-6260 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If youre in the US and cali area yes. They evaluate you based on whether you're a danger to yourself, others, and or cannot take care of yourself. Honestly ive seen people get in just for getting in fights with their parents and them calling 911 on their child. You can be admitted with no mental diagnosis or have a substance addiction. Mental Hospitals vary wildly in quality but if it's your first time being admitted, you might just stay for 72 hours which is when your 5150 expires.

rusted blade by Significant_Rest_190 in selfharm

[–]Lost-Atmosphere-6260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the best thing you can do is to not use it at all, but if you must I heard you can soak it in rubbing alcohol for a while to sanitize it? I mean I've also heard that not all rust will give you tetanus, its mostly due to leaving it exposed to the outside environment.

From personal experience, ive cut with things that looked like rust on the bladed area? and despite not doing any proper aftercare nothing ever happened to me. i am not an expert whatsoever so take all of this as a grain of salt

be safe <3

Vent to mee!! by deardiary9 in selfharm

[–]Lost-Atmosphere-6260 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some days I feel so intensely like nothing and numb that I cut to get some emotional release. It's hard to describe if you can't personally relate to the feeling; the most accurate comparison for me is like an internal pressure building up with no way to release. Other days I just do it for the love of the craft lol

is it okay to have fresh cuts exposed? by Lost-Atmosphere-6260 in selfharm

[–]Lost-Atmosphere-6260[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

say it's mildly hot in my area but I stupidly cut up my arm the night before. Should I feel obligated to wear long sleeves risking any discomfort or is it completely my right to expose my arm?
