Self Harm

Ne corto. Se vuelve tan necesario para calmar el dolor. No lo hago tan profundo, pero ver la sangre me ayuda un poco.

Yes, I cut for the stinging not for the blood, too. I use a safety pin and it works quite well. When I use a razor, it's messy and I don't get the stinging which is what makes me numb. And I can't stand the sight of blood haha

I stopped after a while though as it only made me feel worse and after the distraction of the pain was over, I was right back where I started.

I'm right back where I started, at least I was able to take a break and find temporary relief. Is how I look at it. But nobody should do it if they don't line it or are uncomfortable with it.

Does anyone else when you cut yourself that you have a second of pain but then pure peace in your head just for a second or two. I like how the blood looks and runs as well. I wonder what this means.

That's the same reason I don't like a razor. It cuts too well. Use a dull serrated kitchen knife in the right way and you get pain with minimal damage.

Please don't start, it's addictive and scarring. I still have to explain scars 30 years on

I'm curious... are you honest about it or do you have made-up stories that you present as explanations? Under no obligation to answer. I was just interested.

I'm honest about it. I don't advertise that I have mental health issues but don't hide it either. It generally does make life easier. I try to hide the suicidal planning, but that can be impossible in the middle of a breakdown

Same. I always imagine that it is one step closer to ctb or this is how i would feel if i ctb by a knife or bleeding out. It gives me so much comfort knowing that it is the final step I would take before bleeding out and ending my pain. Thats just me though
