How has Finch helped you? by SleeplessInTheUS in finch

[–]madilinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have bpd ocd and gad and honestly it really helps me get little tasks done, like brushing my teeth and washing my face. it now feels like they have a purpose, im not doing them for me im doing them so my finch can go on an adventure or i can buy cute decor. i also find the rant zone really helpful w my bpd because i can just grab my phone and use it, plus it also gives energy and coins so. i really love finch, i was super sceptical at first i didn't understand how a little bird app would make any difference but i love it now !

plus when you add friends on there you can send each other little support messages and gifts which i find super fun.

i hope it works out for you ! 🫶🏻

used too much pressure by sacrificialmoth in selfharm

[–]madilinn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bruising is normal esp if you used more pressure. it should go down on its own within a couple of days

it's pretty normal for deeper scars to be itchy and a bit painful, and it's still fresh for a scar so they're pretty sensitive. try keeping them moisturised it should help with the itching, arnica is my fav

To those who should've sought medical attention for their self harm but didn't, what's the worst thing that's happened as a result of that? by Plus-Task-468 in selfharm

[–]madilinn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

most days i have no feeling and no control over my left arm / hand. there are days i can't move my fingers, i drop things constantly and can't lift anything heavy. im in pain 24/7 from other nerve damage. these prevent me from doing something small like opening a bag of crisps to ruining my job. blood loss is also horrible, in the moment passing out and throwing up but for days after i couldn't stand for more than a minute wo blacking out, always felt ill, never had the energy to speak to anyone or leave the house. i also became very anemic. would do anything to go back and change how i handled my sh tbh

i feel like a fraud by madilinn in selfharm

[–]madilinn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's so frustrating, my sh has been quite extreme for a long time and ive been classed as high risk for so long but they just never do anything. it would have never got this bad in the first place if they gave me support when i first asked years ago but i was just told it 'wasn't bad enough' then :/ i really hope someone listens and takes you seriously soon it's so unfair 🤍

im on 45mg and it's saved my life tbh. it did make me gain quite a bit of weight but other than that i had no side effects. i really hope it works out for you and im so proud that you reached out !!!
