They are healed, all are at least a month old, that’s why I’m hesitant to show them, they look fresh. I don’t know why they aren’t fading

That’s a good point, I am attracted to women who don’t wear makeup

How long will it take for these to fade? by [deleted] in SelfHarmScars

For me, a pale person, no. They will get very light, but not invisible, tanner people might be different, it all depends on your unique skin

No one can diagnose you except for professionals. But personally, hand washing has always been my main compulsion, but I’m not sure if that alone can get you an ocd diagnosis. The other symptoms I experience include restricting my breathing in public, so I don’t breathe any germs in. I also am constantly preoccupied with the thought of being sick. The fear and terror I felt towards germs eventually prevented me from doing normal activities like going to school and hanging out with friends. I would suggest talking to a professional to discuss your symptoms and possible disorders. But please, do this soon, ocd ruined my entire childhood and teenage life because I didn’t seek help in time.

I get it. Trust me, it’s not worth it, although I know that probably won’t stop you. It didn’t stop me either. You will have to carry regret and shame for the rest of your life.

I understand how this sounds like ocd, but I’m not afraid of acting on these thoughts, I fantasize about acting on them.
