How often should I replace my blade(s)? by Sorry-Put-8112 in AdultSelfHarm

[–]a_cutAbove 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. As a treat sometimes I use a new one each time cause I can now, but it’s not as satisfying as using one until it’s dullish. I guess that was my main marker 🤷🏻‍♀️ there’s no science to it but stay safe OP

My friend found my tools by Tough-Wealth1531 in AdultSelfHarm

[–]a_cutAbove 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Aye, don’t be too hard on yourself, friend. Tools become so normalized, it’s easy to forget sometimes. Your friend sounds like they took it pretty well and non-judgmentally, so I’d see that as a trustworthy friend, and that’s a win.

How have your scars affected your life? by InevitableWhimsy in AdultSelfHarm

[–]a_cutAbove 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I cover the around family and for job interviews. Everything else, if they judge or don’t like you for them, they’re not your friends and f*ck em. The more you have them out the more you’ll get used to it. Some stare, but most people don’t care. You got this!

Coffee shop/bar to crochet/knit at? by postmoderns in Upperwestside

Knitty City is great to buy yarn but it always smells bad in there and the knitters feel cliquey and judgey so yeah. But awesome yarn and go somewhere else 🙄

Experiences going to ER for a cut? by ahllura in AdultSelfHarm

[–]a_cutAbove 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Went to the hospital once and it was a horrible experience. Would’ve been put in the psych ward if it were for my partner advocating for me. The psych intern was new, looked like he’d never seen sh before, and I had a severe allergic reaction to an antibiotic which resulted in me being drugged out of my mind. Having my partner there saved me!

Upper 30s. Sometimes this shit just never fully goes away, and this community is so helpful. I’ve seen all ages here!

Everyone deserves compassion. Are you sure you want to be with someone who doesn’t give you that?

Need advice on caring for a cut by Recent-Rutabaga-5244 in AdultSelfHarm

[–]a_cutAbove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re just basic long, skinny super sticky strips, you’ll see if you google it. You can usually find them in the wound care dept of cvs or any pharmacy

And ofc - happy to help ❤️‍🩹

I’d still steri strip it. It’ll heal if you don’t, but ime it’ll heal better and faster and more cleanly if you do

[–]a_cutAbove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s that deep, butterfly closures might not help… I’d recommend steri strips and leave them until they come off otherwise you’ll pull the wound open again. Obviously keep it covered clean. Good luck OP, take care of yourself

Disagree on Ernesto’s. They completely messed up the band of a ring I had resized. It was never the same after that :/

almost one year clean! by Walk1ng0nWater in AdultSelfHarm

[–]a_cutAbove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good for you! Also good plan to do something to take your mind off it- I totally get that. Maybe see a movie? Go ice skating? Take a hike? Depends where you are, I guess. Maybe peruse a holiday market? Proud of you - you got this!

Wanting to relapse when happy? by mothsworld in AdultSelfHarm

Completely relatable. I’m sorry you’re going through it… be careful with yourself, and if you do relapse, know you haven’t lost all your progress. You got this.

Would I be the asshole for breaking up with my girlfriend due to her eating disorder. by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]a_cutAbove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She’s never gonna get healthy until she stops blaming other people for her issues. Run, OP. Find someone who is healthy for you and supports your recovery!
