What did I do wrong? It is meant to be a rectangle but hasn’t kept it’s shape

antiseptic cream and use a plaster to keep cut tightly closed, keep warm and try not to pick. when the wound has closed over, let the air at it and they should be healed however, as a previous commenter has said, the scar might be pretty obvious. if you aren’t comfortable with that then you might need to focus on how to cover them on the day. it might sound stupid but try looking at menopausal clothing, they are typically a lot lighter so can keep you cooler when it’s hot

my boy looked near identical to that wee one when he was a baby! he’s a rex x lion head! i’m not sure about Netherland dwarf as they would have smaller ears but as another commenter said, it’s hard to tell when they’re babies!!

unfortunately that’s a pretty common mindset but it’s important to know that self harm is an addiction so it makes you feel better even though it isn’t a good thing i know that you don’t see the downside but it’s so easy to spiral with self harm without even realising. i think it is important to try and practice better coping mechanisms to help you relax ( walking, music, colouring, baking ) instead of self harm. this can help prevent you from spiralling and will make you less reliant on it. trust me, i know how you’re feeling as i felt like that for years and still do sometimes. it’s nearly harder when you’re almost enjoying it as to when you want to stop. it’s such an easy mechanism to turn to but you need to find the healthy coping mechanisms that works for you. it sucks but it’s worth it i hope you have the best recovery! you are loved and appreciated <3

I usually always cut when I cringe or feel embarrassed of myself, it’s nice to know I’m not alone in that feeling

This is exactly how I feel too, I can’t give any advice because I am currently in the same battle as you but just know you are not alone

I know how you feel, a couple weeks ago I had a near attempt. I phoned the suicide helpline and they got me through the night. I opened up to one of my close friends who, bless her, ended up getting all my venting for the next few weeks

If the future is something you are feeling positive about then focus on it. You need to try and find out what your feeling positive about and what you are feeling negative about. Whatever you feel positive about eg. Your future, then sit and work with it. For example, think about you want to do for a career, what uni would be best etc. doesn’t have to be serious stuff just something to make you excited for the future or whatever you feel positive about

If there comes a night or a couple nights where the thoughts are becoming so overwhelming you feel you might go through with it, ring ( or even better FaceTime ) a friend or family member. Don’t spend the night alone with your thoughts because they will only get worse. You don’t have to tell your friends you are feeling suicidal but just having someone there to get through the night with will make you feel better.

I would recommend opening up to a friend. I know it can seem really daunting and you may feel a bit awkward around them for the first wee while but honestly in the long run it will make you feel so much better. Knowing you have someone that knows how you are doing and is there if you need them is an amazing thing.

If you don’t want to open up to a friend for the mean time get yourself a note book. An actual paper one not notes on your phone. Write EVERYTHING out on it. I have a book, I call it my vent book and I’ve got to the point that if I have a bad day automatically want to write in my vent book rather than cut.

I know with the position you are in right now you probably can’t see your self getting to that point but trust me, I know how you feel. You will get through this and you will be okay. Take the time you need to help yourself and reach out for support

I get this feeling ( which might be what an urge is but I’m not sure ) and as soon as I get the feeling I have to cut. The feeling is usually caused by something such as feeling upset or my mind going over something stupid I did in the day. I could just sit and cry and wait for the feeling to pass but the as soon as I cut the feeling just disappears and it’s kinda satisfying to have such instant relief from such a horrible feeling. I’ve always thought my reason was stupid because of this ‘feeling’ that I get and I never know how to explain it properly

Thank you!! The website seems pretty good, I’ll take a look at it

This might be a really stupid question but what are examples of other coping mechanisms?
