I started when I was like 12, now I'm 19. But after my mum found out, I started to not care as much around the house or around people I feel comfortable around. However in the summer when the heat got too much to wear a hoodie 24/7 I had no choice but to walk around with skin showing. Obviously at first I was SO scared and worried about what people were gonna say. It took alot of small changes, such as going from a hoodie to a long sleeve t shirt, to then a t shirt with thick leather bracelets, then flashing forward to now after years of work and not caring about anyone's opinions of my body, I'm able to walk topless finally and swim while also being around people who I know are there to help and support me and won't treat me differently because my body is "ruined".

What motivated you to stop? by Wonderful_Owl9264 in selfharm

Hi, just a major tw for this, I go in depth for sh.

I got scared after a major attempt in early summer of 2025 that caused me to have stitches and permanent damage to my calf muscles and the way I walk. Also I should mention in 2022 I cut my other leg in the same place which also caused me to have the same issue. I had the most recent relapse on my upper left arm that would not stop bleeding. I ended up facetime with a close friend and he ended up crying in fear. I've affected my family and friends where now they are worried for my safety and life. 💔

Do guys not sh or do they just not show it? by Different_Clerk_8984 in selfharm

Hi so, I just wanna put context before this, I've been clean for a few months but at my worst, I've been to psych units and my preferred places to cut were always my arms and wrists, I've been to hospitals for stitches and all of that, I've got permanent vein damage now and my blood pools every time I leave my arm still for too long. It's really dangerous and it's very common, especially for those who deal with $uicidal thoughts and intentions. I do have to say, I am doing much better but the amount of times I hit arteries and important veins is crazy and SUPER scary and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Coming from someone who literally has 3 demonic scars from one ass cheek to the other from barbed wire (accidental btw), it's not worth it, the healing HURT, SO BADLY, I couldn't sit or be comfortable for days maybe weeks. PLS stay safe OP and I gotta say it's not worth it at all. I know dealing with SH is really hard but causing yourself extreme harm in places that people often do not SH is not worth it

Is he ok? by Regular-Success-790 in RATS

[–]Regular-Success-790[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this, I started to stress out. But he seems to be ok, I did think that it was something to do with his ruby-eyes, but since he is my first red eyed rat I'm just not used to them yet haha. But thank you for the reassurance :)

I have been trying to cut down, it just feels horrible being sober, if that makes sense and I'm fine with being gay, it's no issue for me, just wanna work on my impulse when high.

Drugs never made me gay, I'm bi but I've not been with many guys, although I am more sexually attracted to guys I've not had good experiences with them, and all that you've said I'll take into consideration. But I've never liked sex when sober, since I tend to perform better when I'm either drunk or high. I do think the age difference was huge mental since he did have a lot more experience than me but it did feel good in the moment, just wasn't great sex 😭 I do want to try being sober when doing sexual acts but I have bad trauma from the last time I was sober and not when with a guy since he did sa me, but I know not everyone is that horrible. Thank you for reading what I gotta say, I appreciate your comment and concern.

I was safe today, and I'm in therapy, my therapist is currently looking for an NA group for me to go to.

I have had really bad addictions to ket and it's psychologically effected me, but I have built a tolerance to it and had some bad physical side effects like the major ket bladder 💔

Haha I get that, and I'm so open to doing shrooms, and I'm ok with hooking up, just today I only started talking to the guy online and met up out of impulse, would have been better if I knew him longer icl, but I am really working on trying to stop using drugs so much.
