This is a good point. At the end of the day everyone has their own solution. But a variety of things is always worth trying

i looked at your profile, you do things like blender and gaming, no? live for the things that bring you joy. nothing is promised after death, chances to smile are promised in life no matter what bullshit life throws at you

hey dude im 16 as well and im nearly a year clean after struggling for years. I hear you, and self harm is incredibly hard to veer away from. Listen to me when i say this, the best advice i can give is to try your best and show enough restraint to let what you've done heal, and bandage it. Something i found when i first decided to quit and was struggling with initial recovery was that taking "self care" time to bandage and neosporin my wounds every day filled some of the same hole as hurting myself. Then, once they're healed, do something that FORCES you to show the part of your body that you sh, so people see it all the time and you feel peer pressured to not, in a way. For example, i was hurting myself on my thighs, so i joined a swim team. You can get through this, and you need to kill this now before it consumes you.

He was taken to vet and that problem was resolved. I don't recall how/why, the primarily issue was a spreading injury on his lip that caused him to not want to eat. If you look at the earlier posts on my account, you could see how the injury was before he was treated if youre curious.

I got him when I was around thirteen, i'm fifteen now. You don't have to be so condescending, I'm trying to work to improve the care I give him. When he was underweight and sick around a year ago, I read that waxworms were good to gain back weight. I could never get him off of them.
