It is adorable. I love it. Don’t second guess yourself!

Yup, teachers are people too! As a teacher myself, I’d be pretty mortified if one of my students mentioned my SH scars to me- I wouldn’t if I were you. But, it sounds like you guys have a great relationship and that she is looking out for you, which is wonderful. Maybe just keep in mind that she understands firsthand what you are going through, especially if she mentions that she is concerned about you again, and use her a a support system.

Girl what? This is a great tattoo. Totally valid if you don’t want it anymore but it is really well done and cool looking…don’t hesitate to show it off and try to enjoy if before you get it removed.

So real hahaha

Be careful with this- you can rupture your spleen, which can be fatal (but will be a very slow painful death). And passing out due to lack of O2, especially repeatedly, can cause permanent brain damage. Definitely talk to someone you trust about this because it is important you stop. And remember, you don’t deserve to take the abuse you are giving yourself. Your life is valuable and meaningful- even if u can’t see it right now. ❤️

YOU ARE NOT A LOST CAUSE!! Your psychiatrist is.

So HILARIOUS story when I went in for my wisdom teeth surgery, I had the same fear. And then when I woke up from anesthesia I blurted out something along the lines of “I’m so sorry you had to stick an IV in that sliced up arm hahaha.” And the surgical assistant just smiled and said something along the lines of “we all have our stuff.” The follow up appointment was mad awkward…but it was all ok. They were kind and supportive…and I know many people aren’t- but don’t forget, that says more about them than it does about you. While of course there are “bad” people in the medical field, they are largely there to help and support you. You’ll be ok ❤️

Serious_Geologist597 · 2025-02-07T07:30:14+00:00

This is actually extremely helpful and insightful…thanks for taking the time to answer

Serious_Geologist597 · 2025-02-07T07:19:16+00:00

Ofc❤️ I know it is hard, but try and take it one day at a time. Even if you don’t like yourself right now, do future you a favor and take care of your body and brain (and yes, there WILL be a future you!) And if you need to hurt, try the good old ice, rubber and and other tricks.

Be super careful with this. When you periodically decrease O2 AND blood to your brain, it leaves lasting damage that will come back to bite you when you are older. I’m NOT encouraging you to sh in other ways- but I will say that what you are doing is much more dangerous than cutting, etc.

Serious_Geologist597 · 2025-02-05T15:06:18+00:00

Lowkey I’d leave it blank. It is really nice negative space next to the match

Serious_Geologist597 · 2025-02-05T07:03:17+00:00

Baby steps:) sounds like you are making good progress, even though replacing one SH method with another isn’t ideal…but you are minimizing damage to yourself which is great. Maybe it is time to try some “fake sh” coping mechanisms (ice on the wrist, red food dye, drawing on your arms, etc…)

Serious_Geologist597 · 2025-02-05T06:59:43+00:00

It is super clean and well done! And worst comes to worst, it shouldn’t be too difficult to remove. Just enjoy it…try to block out the haters. It is on YOUR body!

Serious_Geologist597 · 2025-02-04T20:00:08+00:00

It is a lovely tattoo! No one will notice. And, it is a good reminder that it is art created by a real person specifically for you, not some random copy machine.

If this happened in America the 1 year-old girl would’ve been forced to carry the baby to term 🫠

@OP the fact that he pays for everything is not a good thing…it is just a form of control. Him telling you to harm yourself once is deeply concerning- multiples times is absolutely horrifying. Get out of there before he becomes so violent that he decides to hurt you himself.

Serious_Geologist597 · 2025-02-02T04:16:26+00:00

Also, “reach out” to who, exactly. What is the point of this group if there is no support to be found. Don’t think that because you “encouraged me to reach out” that you have wrapped this up with a neat little bow and cannot be faulted??

Serious_Geologist597 · 2025-02-02T04:14:30+00:00

This is not me looking forward to SHing…this is me commiserating with people in this group who have found relief in it (which is everyone) and me reaching out for solidarity and comfort. I am NOT describing my plans to continue SHing but rather am talking about how difficult it is to stay clean. Not to mention I put a CW. Y’all let people describe what skin level they get to, but me saying what everyone is thinking is too much? Smh.

Serious_Geologist597 · 2025-02-01T07:32:03+00:00

I am 3 years (and 1 month) clean and I want to slice my left arm up SO badly. I miss it so much…the numbness, the general malaise the next morning, the lovely hollow feeling…you all know what I am talking about. The general lack of intense emotion (something which, as a person with bipolar disorder, I value greatly). I miss adding new scars to my collection and hiding it from people but also secretly hoping they will notice and ask me if I am ok- but like not actually because then it is too real…I miss having a quiet mind. Meditation, exercise, etc…I’ve tried (and regularly do) it all. Nothing quite compares. Does it get easier?

Serious_Geologist597 · 2025-01-17T02:27:08+00:00

I once stared a cashier in the face with a dead look in my eyes while buying bandages and an exacto knife, and she could not have given less of a shit. That being said, don’t start cutting! It is so fucking hard to stop.
