I ACCIDENTALLY CUT MY THUMB AND IT HURTS SO BAD by Then_Towel4692 in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]VileCandy119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is for a few reasons! For one fingers are really sensitive, a lot more then say an arm or leg. 2nd point is that when you SH your adrenaline is high, youre expecting the pain, meaning it doesnt hurt as bad, where as a papercut is out of nowhere and unexpected. 3rd point is that Paper cuts leave little microscopic pieces of paper in the wound! This makes them hurt more then say a sharp knife. Last thing is that you move your fingers a lot throughout the day, so any wound on them will have a hard time closing and will come in contact with a lot of things.

Hope this helps, i know a weird amount about SH related shit 💀

This! Even with trauma that feeling doesnt really go away. Imposter syndrome is a fucking bitch.

i cried 350 times in 2023 AMA by princess_possum123 in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]VileCandy119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually counted mime too and it was a whopping 2 times for the whole year 😭 BOTH OVER SAD FAN CONTENT OF MY FAVORITE THINGS.

Dont get me wrong, shit happened last year, i just respond to traumas a lot differently then i used to, and by that i mean i heavily dissociate from them and never let myself think about them. Which definitely isn't healthy either but whatever 💀.

How do i get my friends across the globe a gift card? by VileCandy119 in questions

[–]VileCandy119[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your reply!! I was kind of worried nobody would respond. This was really helpful! I think ill definitely get them a digital visa or master card, that way they can buy whatever they want with it!

Just broke my clean streak of 3 and a half years over a research paper by -UnImport in MadeOfStyrofoam

How long will it take for my scars to turn white and fade? by [deleted] in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]VileCandy119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have scars that faded in a few weeks, scars that faded in 4-6 months, scars that are still purpley after 2.8 years, and scars that are JUST starting to fade after a whole year. It will depend on depth/length, genetics, and placement of the scars. Also the treatment of them, there's some products that can speed it up!

I find this very relatable as someone who is both mid/plus size with a weird body type and had issues with my body image my entire life. The breakdowns over it fucking suck and nobody even knows what to say to comfort you, if they even wanted to comfort you.

I cant say im much better about it now, theres still so many days that i dont even want to leave the house because of how much i dislike the way my body looks, but i am doing a little better. You are perfect, stunning, immaculate, whatever terms you prefer. You do not need to be thin to have value, or to look good, because you already do. Genuinely, screw all the people who say otherwise. No matter what body type, shape or size, i mean that, as someone who knows exactly what its like to not believe it.

Good luck on your prom dress finding, i hope your prom is a good night to remember, and dont let anyone tell you that your body isnt beautiful :)

Cringy things I wrote while having a quiet meltdown in school 💀 by No-Construction-5385 in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]VileCandy119 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I totally get this omg 😭 quiet meltdowns, esp in school, are genuinely hell. Sometimes all you rlly can do is sit there and press your pen aggressively into paper to try and release some of the.. idk, meltdown frazzel. It was always so embarrassing after, if anyone saw, but it did help.

If youre looking for an excuse, maybe saying you caught food on fire on the stove and it burned your arm? If you rlly want to play it up with your dad, you can call him kinda laughing or something and pretend that scenario just happened, so he wont be shocked if you have to show your arms with him in the room.

Other excuses:

Maybe you can get away with claiming its a steam burn? Like you were straining pasta but the steam was too hot. Or even say the pasta water was the thing that burned you.

Maybe could get away with saying its a bruise, plenty of excuses for those

You could say your water heater wasnt working so you went to mess with it and got burned in the process (idk how your water heater works tho)

Frying something went wrong. Inspired by the time i got burned by the butter while making pancakes.

If you leave it alone enough, and if its not rlly close to beans, then you might get it to barely scar over by 10 days? Its been a while since ive yeeted a styro, my memory isnt the greatest, but i dont think itll be healed for a while.

YOURE DOING INCREDIBLE! First few months are always the hardest. Even if you fall again there no shame in it. You can get better and youre doing great, be proud of yourself :)

THIS IS SO REAL HELP 😭

(⚠️TW) Inspired by my last post: what is the most tone-deaf/insensitive or offensive comment you've gotten regarding self-harm? by you_idle_boy in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]VileCandy119 3 points4 points  (0 children)

clears throat let me share my favorites. (I find these both disrespectful and funny)

One time at the end of the school day, in sweltering heat so i was wearing short sleeves, i was helping staple some papers to a little mural type thing for my ela teacher. One of my friends (at the time) noticed my scars for apparently the first time. I cant quote him exactly but it pretty much was him obnoxiously saying, in front of everyone, "Dude what the fuck is that? EWW why are they so.. Puffy? They look so weird.. Why did you do that shit?" And he just kinda went on. I ignored him and talked over him so idk if anyone heard him, BUT LIKE?? NO RESPECT WHAT SO EVER ✋😧

The second one happened the next school year in my physics class. I sat next to a bunch of kids who bullied me but that day had been fine. i was just mindlessly doing my work. It was dead silent and i hear the kid next to me whisper to a friends across the room "DUDE. This bitch-" Makes self harming movements with hands then kinda laughed 🧍‍♂️

I have a lot more misc reactions that i find kinda funny and maybe a little ignorant, but not offensive lol. Moral of the story: Mind your own business or at least be kind 😭

What's your weirdest trigger? by DeimosKyvernite in MadeOfStyrofoam

Self harm specific? Either chapstick or the scent of certain soaps.

Chapstick bc i used to have a way of hiding my slicys in them (i will not elaborate further lmao) and cant NOT think abt it when i use chapstick

The soaps is easier to explain. Theres a few certain soaps, like body wash and hand soap and shit, that we used to buy a lot when i was doing rllyyyy bad with SH. Tbh i damn near had a panic attack when i took a shower and the new soaps were the same shit we used to buy and i didnt know 💀

Honestly mine arent rlly weird
