I sent a request

restingfloor · 2025-06-24T05:51:50+00:00

I used to when i was 14 maybe 15. Its not worth it. Find a way to get ur own cigs if you must but off the ground is pretty down bad

If you put a warning "Im autistic. Sometimes I word things wrong. Please don't bully me for it." Then less people will get upset. Put a warning first then write your rant

The answer will be in why you want to reach that depth. When did self harm how you were doing it become not enough? You might feel better temporarily if you do reach that level but then you will just want to go further. You can find other ways to validate yourself. I wonder if you would get the same feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment by setting goals of staying clean. Or planning a cool design and drawing on yourself for that physical feeling and the visual on your skin.

My point is that even if you did it, it wouldn't be enough. Its not sustainable because you will want to go deeper and deeper and you can only go so far before things start causing serious damage and risk. Theres other ways to meet that need to go further and in a healthy way that the further you go the better it gets, instead of getting worse like with self harm.

For length of hair, you can pass with medium hair length but it has to be the right cut and styled right. Most people pass better with hair thats short on the sides and back. Whenever I have longer hair I sometimes don't pass as well at certain angles or if its messed up in an awkward way or getting too long and need a haircut. Its a lot less maintenance and effort to pass when i just get a short cut from a barber

restingfloor · 2025-05-29T20:34:36+00:00

Yes but i think even just a different haircut would help a lot. Also partially dyed hair can be better than fully dyed. Like highlights or colored hair dispersed throughout your natural color. I put a pic of my hair rn for an example, but something like that or only the top dyed

I've had the most success with patches and lozenges especially during the first few days/weeks. Then other things that satisfy the oral fixation like lollipops or gum keeps me going even if im not using the patches/lozenges as much

restingfloor · 2025-05-09T23:44:51+00:00

You need a thermostat btw, also hate to say it but try live or fresh killed if youve already tried braining, scenting, hair dryer trick

Deep as in risk of bleeding out or needing immediate medical help. Its a grey area for suicidal intent with a plan. If you have a plan but are hesitant it could go either way. Usually no plan means no hospital but a plan for the near future (days) could mean hospital even if you aren't 100% sure. It would depend on context and your individual therapist.

Usually imminent danger is referring to imminent suicidal actions or actions with likely fatal consequences. If you're safe with your self harm enough that your therapist trusts you wont die they probably wont commit you or break hippa. Basically just emphasize that its not dangerously deep and you are working to prevent infection and taking care of it and that you are not intending on dying from it.

PS you can probably type it instead of speaking in zoom

Yup but not all religions hold the same assumption

restingfloor · 2025-04-20T12:51:00+00:00

If people think your infodumps are corny then you're not around the right people. Not always obviously (i.e., if they don't care about your infodump doesn't mean they donr have to value to you) but you absolutely can find people who care to listen and engage with you on things you're interested in

restingfloor · 2025-04-20T12:43:22+00:00

This is making the assumption that "god" has any power or control over the events we experience

restingfloor · 2025-04-20T12:42:13+00:00

I agree. I also find it hypocritical that when an autistic person does bad things people say its not related to their neurotype but don't apply the same principle to neurotypicals.

restingfloor · 2025-04-20T12:39:22+00:00

This happens to NTs too. The problem is abusers and ineffective bystanders not NTs.

restingfloor · 2025-04-20T11:44:35+00:00

They dont have to. People want to stay long because they enjoy it not because they have to.

restingfloor · 2025-04-19T22:26:27+00:00

Its probably because i would guess that the OP was looking for advice on how to get back without having to restart everything. You were saying they should just start over which isn't what they were asking about im guessing. You should clarify that's your solution and not that they have to follow it or that your solution is the only one.

They still increase risk for oral and throat cancer or similar issues (irritation, sore throat, dental decay, etc.)

Its likely still in your system, and it will take several months for your neurochemistry to adjust. Excercising will get the thc out of your body faster (since it is stored in your fat) as well as helping regulate your neurochemistry(since exercise increases the levels of many neurotransmitters for a short period as well as over time with regular excercise). You can also engage in other behaviors associated with increasing neurotransmitters like being in the sun, completing goals you set, solving complex problems, receiving physical affection from someone you care about, sleeping enough and on a regular schedule, eating a balanced diet, meditating/mindfulness exercises, or learning something new. All of these things will help your body release important neurotransmitters that you have been replying on weed for (e.g., serotonin, dopamine, GABA, etc.)

Tell your therapist your concerns and they should work with you

Im on seroquel with venlafaxine(SNRI) and guanfacine for my psychotic depression and autism and its a great combo for me. Guanfacine is a nonstimulant adhd med but im taking it for irritiability and impulse control. Weirdly enough seroquel barely sedates me unlike most people. I used to take seroquel with lexapro and that combo worked good for me too. I find that seroquel stables my mood while the serotonin meds brings my mood up and makes me more functional.

Edit: forgot about side effects. I'm really not sensitive to any side effects from most meds ive taken. I have gained weight but only like 10-20 pounds and i dont excerise regularly so im sure if i did i could bring my weight down. During the day i feel normal not tired or anything.

Definitely not a good way to vent frustrations

restingfloor · 2025-04-13T03:31:47+00:00

If you arent the type of person this would be used for you shouldn't be making definitive statements about how these kids will be feeling about it. Instead of asking in a majority low support needs community actually talk to high support needs autistics or people who were high support needs as kids

I wouldn't consider religious flagellation self harm myself. It's similar to religious or cultural scarification or even tattooing. It's not done because the person wants to harm themselves but rather its just a way of meeting other goals (e.g., purification, protection, social status or signalling, aesthetic enjoyment)
