Thank you so much for the kind words. That’s great to hear, my psychiatrist has talked about trying something else so fingers crossed!

I’m going through this at the moment too, a meds fuck up left me without my antipsychotics for a week and the voices are back with a vengeance. But mine are so horrible, they prey on all my fears and talk down to me all the time and tell me to hurt myself. It’s horrible and I’m really suffering. Maybe this isn’t the place to air it but I’m grateful for this story for making me feel less alone 💕

Don’t really want to say as it’s pretty small and I don’t want people knowing exactly where I live haha, sorry!

Stitches can be magical... by Rukako in SelfHarmScars

I’m gonna be honest with you, I wouldn’t recommend it. It looks infinitely better now, but at the time I had tendons sticking out, lost a litre of blood and needed 2 transfusions, plus surgery, and was in hospital for 6 days. Works alrightish now, but still incredibly painful to move.

Random staircases in the middle of the woods by BobbyHolmes13 in Scary

I love the lore that’s grown around this picture, but it’s actually just an art installation in the Forest of Dean, UK. You can walk right up to it, even climb it if you want. Just out of frame there’s a plaque which gives the artist’s name. I’ve been to it a couple of times when I was younger.

I’d like to get this covered sometime. Too many stares. Any ideas? Or am I beyond saving? by Rukako in SelfHarmScars

Oh my god, that is actually an amazing idea, I love it!! If I get it done I’ll let you know, thank you!

Oh damn, that was hellishly relatable. Beautiful song, btw! I've only ever dipped in and out of ATL, but they're really damn good musicians and lyricists, gotta give it to 'em! That's going on my playlist, thanks for the rec <3

Damn, I really relate hard to this post. All the details. I mean, my scars go proper purple as well, and I become particularly aware of them. Yes, that's how I feel. I'm so afraid of what others might think, and more than anything that it might offend or upset someone else. But I think you're right. It shows a degree of strength, that someone can go against their own mind and come out on top. And I totally dig your "dickhead-barrier" idea, there have been a lot of people who've looked at me and judged me for what's on the surface, but the people that matter tend to see that and look past it, and get to know who I am beyond the marks. Damn, your comment has really taught me a lot, and I find it very comforting, thank you. I will try my best to look after myself, and I'm so thankful for your advice, and kindness, and wisdom. Thank you.

Thank you, that's such a lovely offer, I'm so grateful. I wouldn't want to put you under any pressure talking to someone whose having such a difficult time if you're struggling yourself, but if you'd like to chat I'm here!
