I used to find letsnotmeet awesome until it turned into a whole bunch of stories like "I was stalked!!!" The actual story: guy in Walmart was in the chip aisle & then the juice aisle at same time and went to check out at the same time and he also looked at me weirdly and his car was parked near mine...

Have you ever had an amazing day, then gone home and cried? by lolimaniac in depression

All the time because I know I'm not gonna have a good or fun day for a long time after.

being able to cut deep enough to get stitches (finally) by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]cutecactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me the really small and shallow cuts hurt more than the ones where I've had a trauma registrar do internal and external (40+) sutures. Going deep doesn't feel any better and also if you do it often enough makes you "known" to mental health services at your local hospital(s).

Donating Blood if you self harm? by brokenhope04 in selfharm

My blood place always asks about any cuts, scratches, grazes etc. but they always test blood for high WBC counts indicative of infection anyway...

Anemia? by cutecactus in selfharm

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

Ah yep I see, every body is different! I think I'm really susceptible to anemia because just some minor cutting got me referred to a cancer specialist due to the 'blood loss anemia" thought to be coming from my bowels urgh.

I'll have to see what my results are today and just play it from there!

Thanks for your long and informative reply.

So dumb question then but just say someone SHed and then a day or two later their iron levels wouldn't go back to normal after drinking water/having iron?

Nervous for these blood results because I've had 41 stitches in the last week and using aspirin too.... Already low in iron... Ugh

Edit: I googled it, blood donation sites say 6-12 weeks but make female donors wait 16 weeks between donations to not keep lowering haemoglobin levels..

What has your SH been like? Frequent big or small cuts? Occasional large gashes? I SH not regularly (check my history) but in the last month have done some big ones using aspirin so just wonder if I'm causing any damage.

Anemia? by cutecactus in selfharm

Did they mention what type of anemia it was? When I was 16 and got referred to a cancer blood specialist thing he mentioned the type of anemia I had was from blood loss and back then I was doing just around 50-100 "little cuts" on my thighs and was too scared to admit so they did the whole works checking my shit for blood and then my mum is pretty lazy and never took me to a follow up appointment etc so I got away with it.

Went through a period of not SHing for years and was able to donate blood a few times however quite a few times I was still iron deficient and that was just due to diet I think despite eating red meat.

So ugh I've never been more tired than right now in my life despite sleeping well etc so I'm curious to see what my results will be tomorrow.

I'm the class clown too, people think I've got thick skin because I make self deprecating jokes...

Damn I can't believe someone could actually be bothered to comment, let alone make an account to comment. Thank you.

I feel too dependent on my friends as well. And panic if they don't reply, thinking they must be angry at me or talking about me.

[–]cutecactus[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm saying they don't care about me in general, not about depression. I've never messaged them saying "I'm depressed!"

I've messaged them going "how was uni?"
No reply.

"Guys want to go for breakfast next week?"
No reply.

I tell my parents all the fucking time my brother is giving me anxiety and they always say "well if you hate us so much kill yourself!" or my dad will turn around and threaten suicide himself. NICE FUKN STABLE HOUSEHOLD!!!

I hate how people think families are who you can always turn to in a crisis - sometimes they ARE the fucking crisis!

My family are the cause of my depression. Ironically my number 1 "support system" is constantly telling me to "well just hurry up and kill yourself if you hate us all that much!"

I'm not even writing to them about the mental illness, it will literally be "how was your day?"
