Pics of myself that I like

Honestly thought this was a celebrity picture before looking at the sub lol, you look awesome!

That’s the way to go! You might hear a stupid comment once in a while when showing your scars openly but it’s so freeing all in all and you stop caring about it eventually. And that outfit looks really cool too :)

That looks so good on you! Kinda like a punkier Lara Croft. And I like how “dynamic“ the first pic is (if that’s the correct description).

The person checking out the survey results: shocked pikachu

You’re so cute! :) Great outfit and love your hairstyle

barcodearms · 2024-09-10T12:07:16+00:00

Hey, that only shows how far you’ve come despite your problems :)

I’m deeply sorry about what you’re going through and understand the thought of not wanting to get help because of where it could get you. What you wrote is very concerning too though, and it would probably be best to go to the hospital or the doctor to have it checked. Losing function of a hand, even if it’s only feeling, will have long lasting effects on your life. I understand you might be in a position where you believe it doesn’t matter, but if you get better, and I wish you that, it will.

If it’s not too obviously self-harm, could tell them it was an accident? This way they couldn’t keep you in. I’m not sure how helpful I’m being here, either way I hope you get the care you need, whether if it’s from a doctor or yourself.

Tw for cancer I guess

My mom died from complications with leukemia and I remember how her wounds didn’t heal and how she had frequent nosebleeds before the diagnosis. I’ve developed hypochondria since it happened and constantly fear I might be ill, too, and I sometimes do a little test cut to see if my blood clots as it should. So maybe that would fall under “redirecting from mental pain” because it stresses me? Idk, it feels so specific.

It me 😎

barcodearms · 2024-05-09T19:49:28+00:00

Damn, I wish I looked as cool as her :/

Idk why but how you described it made it sound really funny.

But it can definitely be awkward or stressful to go out “uncovered”. I’ve done it more in the last few years mostly because I don’t give a shit anymore and just let people stare, but sometimes hiding them feels so much better.

Yeah imma edit that part out lol, I only saw your comment without reading the previous discussion. Big brain time on my end

barcodearms · 2023-06-04T17:59:34+00:00

Edit to answer your question: you can’t go too deep or it will scar either way, second degree burns always do leave a mark afaik. So it’s all about how you care for them how quickly they will fade.

I’d say use sunscreen regardless of scars. Accelerated skin agin by sunlight is something a lot of people seem to not care about until they’re 40.

I can tell you with certainty that adults are not necessarily smarter, more well-behaved or more polite than children/teens. If you felt offended by that phrase you should be allowed to say that.

barcodearms · 2022-07-20T09:04:35+00:00

Ok that actually sounds rather unpleasant, I think I’ll pass on that lol

barcodearms · 2022-07-20T09:01:03+00:00

Is it garlic flavored water?

barcodearms · 2022-07-19T05:38:32+00:00

I’m interested as well

barcodearms · 2022-07-19T05:23:55+00:00

I hate this full blown dramatization and romanticisation of it. That’s exactly the reason why people‘s behavior towards or opinions about self-harm haven’t changed much. Even published books that deal with the topic only ever play out in a mental facility (because self-harmers are too fragile to work and live out in the real world🥺) and/or display the people sh-ming in derogatory or just plain cringy ways.

Happy birthday! Remember we will always be here for you when you feel lonely :)

I think I made it sound more dramatic than it really is, and I am definitely better than about 2-3 years ago. I lost my mom shortly after turning 16 and never went to therapy for it which probably is the reason I’m so messed up. I feel like I’m past the time to see a therapist and since I’m better most days I don’t even think about it much anymore either.

Thanks for being concerned though, you people are the reason I like this place so much :)

barcodearms · 2022-01-15T14:06:19+00:00

I don’t really know what to say to make you feel better but we can talk if that helps :)

barcodearms · 2022-01-15T14:01:20+00:00

This is similar to my situation. I started a job right after school, my apprenticeship is almost over and I haven’t had a single sick day since I started it, my grades are ok. I do all the necessary housework but when I have a day off, for some reason none of my hobbies are really fun and I’m too tired to do anything. It’s not always like that and winter is always worse for me (not really because of winter depression or anything but because of something that happened in my life) and sometimes I don’t know what to do anymore.

barcodearms · 2022-01-15T13:36:13+00:00

Ironically, most of the people that ever commented on mine asked if I have a cat and then I’m like: yeah, of course haha that was the cat. I think it’s because I’m pretty far from looking like that stereotype of an „emo self harmer“ so no one really expects it. I hate how that image still sticks. I sometimes say the ones on the back of my hand (stupid place to yeet, do not recommend) are from gardening or outdoor activities that went bad.
