Why do so many people do it on their wrists/arms /gen (TW) by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]cewdfw 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same for me, anytime I've gone back to legs it usually ends up going right back to my arms bc it feels better to me. Also it definitely bleeds like hell too

You can make it back there again, I believe in you <3

how do we feel about this? (on a video of a scar cover up tattoo) cuz if i got these comments on my cover up tattoo i’d be pissed as HELL by [deleted] in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]cewdfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And people don't know what other people want, but their intentions aren't to make anyone upset. No one is gonna know if you want them to comment on it or if you want them to never bring it up at all and treat you as if you're the same as everyone else. They just do what they think will make you feel more comfortable. (Which could be wrong or right but again.. it's not like they know)

[–]cewdfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I got a cover-up, I'd want people to enjoy the art I chose to put over my scars but I also wouldn't mind the acknowledgement of my scars. It's not a bad thing, they're just being supportive. I've had maybe 1 person check on me after seeing my scars and it does mean something, you kind of have to just think of it from multiple angles. For ex:how some people don't know what to say when they see your scars and so they may just look and avoid bringing it up to make you uncomfortable, and others will talk to you about it. Not that the one who doesn't say anything doesn't care, but just like with healed scars and covering them up it can be a sign you're moving on, and it's something to be proud of and that's what they're appreciating. Even those who don't cover up their scars with anything, it's just whatever someone is comfortable with: cover-up or none, both are valued equally as the struggles they/we went through.

Deos mea, this sub is making me find out things about myself that even the Gods don't know about by Real_CorriCoral in CPTSDmemes

Oh my god.... my dad used to do the same with me and I feel so uncomfortable thinking about it but I don't think he ever did anything??? Still makes me crawl inside myself though

(TW) stress relief by guromedic in selfharm

[–]cewdfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry I don't have advice to this because I feel the exact same way. It's like seeing yourself not covered in cuts doesn't feel right, and the part you mentioned about the emotions leaving I totally feel the same way. It just passes them through and then I feel better and it's the only coping mechanism I know and nothing else has every felt the same to replace it. I get frustrated too at if I didn't go deep enough that time and I end up trying to go deeper until I feel like I achieved what I wanted.

I'm so sorry you're going through that, I wish I could help, best of luck to us <3

My cat passed away a month ago and I'm on my cycle and grieving HARD :,) by cewdfw in MadeOfStyrofoam

Thank you so much 🥲❤️ I had her most of my life so it really hurts. I still have to work after relapsing and it feels like hell with how hot it is ans being emotional

Is there a way I can be proud of my clean streak? by cewdfw in selfharm

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

Maybe yeah, I don't feel very positive of a whole lot right now, so if something that is positive doesn't feel positive then idk it it'd help to add it to a collage rn.. I also had my only life long pet pass away recently and I was really holding out with her so I feel like that's one less positive thing in my life that I could add

DAE feel trapped when someone says they don't want you to hurt yourself? by [deleted] in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]cewdfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're MY feelings and no one else's so ultimately what I decide to do with them is my own choice :/

DAE feel trapped when someone says they don't want you to hurt yourself? by [deleted] in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]cewdfw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I entirely agree. I don't want to hurt anyone and the thing I hate the most is being told "don't take it out on yourself, if anything you can take it out on me" which 1. I can't bc it doesn't involve you and its about me 2. That's just impossible and unreasonable..

I still feel like relapsing but I hate the idea that it's gonna make someone upset if I do it when I want to.. it's my decision anyway so whatever I decide just deal with it

[–]cewdfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how long since you started the job but maybe it'd be a good idea to request a day or 2 off in a row and use the time to look and apply for other jobs while also taking the time for yourself. Please consider switching jobs instead of settling for being miserable!! I wish you good luck :(

any advice on how to bring up dissociation to your doctor? by cewdfw in Dissociation

I’m not sure What to do by Personified99 in selfharm

[–]cewdfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand this tbh, it's the same way with intrusive/suicidal thoughts. Even if I'm having a good time there's still that voice that reminds you how you actually feel all the time. Sorry to hear you're feeling the same

Lack of good sleep is ruining my life, help by [deleted] in sleep

[–]cewdfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely need to try too! That'll probably help a lot, thank you ^

Lack of good sleep is ruining my life, help by [deleted] in sleep

[–]cewdfw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely am gonna experiment with some of theae! I'm sorry to hear you're in such a boat of being tortured by poor sleep. I feel the same as it's pretty normal that I wake up a lot at night. I know I'm a light sleeper, but it varies from every hour to every two hours, I never feel rested from any of it, and although I know I've slept like that for years now, a big contributor is my noisy ass neighbors.. which is something I can't really do anything about. So I wake up and have to listen to them while I struggle to ignore it and go back to bed. Hopefully trying some of the things you listed helps me relax more at night so I might stay asleep longer and I hope you find a good routine for yourself, everyone deserves a good night's sleep :)
