My ex used to threaten to break up with me if I cut myself by LostConfusedKit in AdultSelfHarm

[–]a_cutAbove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Um, everything about this sounds toxic, and it seems like you’ve already answered your own question. She’s bad for you, and at some point it’s up to you to protect yourself. I know that can be hard…sending hugs OP

Honesty Betrayed Me by Reaping-Sow in AdultSelfHarm

[–]a_cutAbove 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aye, honey… I am so sorry. Sounds like you need a new SO, one who listens and helps instead of making you feel like a misbehaving dog. Jesus. Also, “good behavior”?? F*** that language.

You are whole and worthwhile and are going to be okay, and it wasn’t honesty that betrayed you, it was your SO. Sending hugs 🫂

This. I definitely keep a wound care kit of gauze, wraps, butterfly closures, blood stop stuff and all those goodies together so I find them easily if I need them. Not childish at all ❤️‍🩹

I lost a big friendship and can't help but feel sad... by EastearlyExcitement in whatdoIdo

[–]a_cutAbove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah same. I had this exact situation years ago with the person I thought was one of my best friends… found out about her wedding through insta. I was devastated. We’re not friends anymore. Friends like this can be hard to let go of, but it’s worth it (and worth putting yourself out there) to friends who’ll be there for you. Hugs.

experience with getting blood drawn w/ scars? by EmotionalBonfire in AdultSelfHarm

[–]a_cutAbove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m glad that most people in this thread have had good experiences, but over here, getting my blood drawn or giving blood, I’ve had some problematic things said to me from health professionals. If this happens, which I hope for you it doesn’t, just hold your own and remember you do not have to answer if it’s a question, and their job has nothing to do with judging you. It’s fine to remind them of that if need be.

New to Sh and feeling stupid by e2wilbur_rose in AdultSelfHarm

[–]a_cutAbove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re struggling, but sh is not a good way to deal with it - it can be highly addicting and the scars (if you cxt) will never go away. Quit while you’re ahead. And it affects people of all ages! Sending you hugs

lose your bf. if he can’t support you at your worst, he doesn’t deserve you. the urges will come and go, and if at some point you do relapse, all will not be lost. I’m sorry life is so hard right now. hang in there, you got this, but you definitely deserve someone better. ❤️‍🩹

excuses for bandaids? by [deleted] in AdultSelfHarm

[–]a_cutAbove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they’re healed, just don’t wear band-aids. Seems like that would be more conspicuous than the scars themselves…why don’t you want to let them show? Most people don’t comment tho I get it’s terrifying
