Started cutting myself to circumvent unsuccessful attempts!!

[empatheticJellyfish]

Got tired of chickening out on fully biting the dust. I cut myself just a few hours earlier. I didn't really know how to, but I just thought that, "razor > sharp thing > on skin > bleed". I pried open a store-bought razor, got the blade out, then went to the bathroom to cut myself. I knew the sting would probably make me stop mid-cut, so what I did was slap my arm and pinch it before slicing... seems like it did the job. The cuts honestly weren't deep, but it was enough for some drops to drip down my arm.

Pretty sure these won't scar. Anyone know how I can make them scar/stand out more? Is it just about cutting deeper?

Anyway. The whole experience felt... weird. Like that cold-sweated relief you feel when your stress is misplaced. I couldn't help but genuinely laugh a little bit at the absurdity of it all. After that, I cleaned the razor with alcohol and wrapped in it a paper towel... maybe I'll use it soon again. It didn't feel quite painful, just a bit of a sting...

OwO If you want scars, generally you'd want to cut deeper/apply more pressure ^^ you can also double swipe a cut to deepen it or pull the skin taut to widen the wound ٩( 'ω' )و

Butttt.. be warned that deeper cuts = higher risk of infection and slowed healing times. So just higher risk in general :3
