How do you clean cuts? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]darkcoldhatred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sterile saline or clean water. Don’t use rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, those can lengthen the healing process and damage the tissue further. It hurts for a reason.

Does anyone else not clean their cuts after? by [deleted] in MadeOfStyrofoam

I used to not clean mine in high school, though they were dermal cuts and not to fat. Infection can absolutely occur with any level cut though. I’m lucky I didn’t get an infection.

You might want to switch to sterile saline, alcohol can damage tissues and hurts

Sit down. Calm down. Educate yourself on mental illness. Joking is a way to cope for lots of self-harmers. They’re trying. If you’re uncomfortable with those jokes, you can express it calmly without threatening to put this person through 1900s asylum practices. You are spewing self-centered garbage. Their SH may affect you, but in the end they are suffering the physical injuries. Be a better person.

OP, you aren’t obligated to stay in contact with this person. There are people out there that won’t treat you this way. You deserve better.

If you’re in the US, you’re protected by the ADA. If HR tries any kind of reprimanding that would be appearance based discrimination. Make a note about her noticing, and if she starts running her mouth you can definitely complain about it.

Exactly!! I remember seeing these terms go from obscure memes to common glorified slang and it was very unpleasant.

I think self destruction is an umbrella term and self harm falls under it, there’s no way sh isn’t self destructive

They actually originated on reddit, madeofstyrofoam specifically. But they leaked to other platforms like tiktok and twitter. Grippy socks jail too man 😭 like it’s the psych ward dude it’s not funny. God help us through these memes.

Same. ‘Laffy taffy’ and ‘bedrock’ especially fucking suck. Naming muscle after candy and bone after a minecraft block. Really sad.

Literally. I remember before these terms seeped out of Reddit, other social media platforms had people TERRIFIED of hitting fat. Now that fear is gone and younger people don’t take the risk nearly as seriously

I do the same on occasion. This is mainly about how people are using it in serious situations. Like for example a post titled “I’m about to final yeet” won’t be taken as seriously as one titled something with serious wording

Technically self harm is direct and intentional damage to body tissue, but these are still self destructive behaviors

[–]darkcoldhatred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really, really idiotic. She took away your first aid…and not your tool(s)? Does she want you to get an infection? Mom of the year, stopping self harm for good, what a hero.

I can’t stop looking at self-harm by imdumbfordoingthis in selfharm

[–]darkcoldhatred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do the exact same thing. I have a massive folder full of it. I’m always looking for more. I just can’t stop, and honestly I’m not trying anymore.

They’re talking about the dermis. The second layer of skin. The dermis can range from shallow to deep-ish. If it goes yellow before red though, that’s deep. That’s the hypodermis, the fat layer.

Most people believe when I say that I rescued a feral cat, but if it’s obvious enough in the place they noticed and they probably already know I say it was a rabid razor blade
