soo uhhh i don't really cut myself cus im a pussy sooo i just kinda scratch myself really hard.
The thing is, i don't want it to be visible on my wrist and i cant really use long sleeves cus where i live is really flipping hot sooooo can you guys help me?
Also, i tried the ice thing to prevent myself of hurting, didnt work.
Also also, upper thighs don't work for me, kinda hard to scratch there.

Please don't. I wish I knew what to say. I don't know what you're facing but I would imagine it's tough.

sh is a bitch that i also conquer and i am really well aware of how hard it is to stop. especially because after a while of doing it you just stop getting any sort of satisfaction that you did it. after hurting there will be guilt that triggers the urge to harm yourself again, and that loops.
its pretty much pointless. and i wish i could help, i really do, but all i can do now is just ask you not to selfharm. doing it creates an endless cycle of guilt and wont change anything except for your mental for the worse:(

Oh buddy im grateful you can understand me :(
Though, I know it's pointless it's just, I need to feel something.
I can't calm down until I stop this flipping feeling of guilt
And I can only stop the guilt with punishment
You get it right?
I don't want to feel like I need to hurt myself
But I think I need it ya know?
Either way, thanks for chatting with me, it's nice meeting good people here :)

Buddy you don't need to say anything, just the thought that someone could care for me, a stranger, enough to wish that I wasn't hurting myself makes me feel grateful.

If you really feel the urge to hurt yourself, try snapping a rubber band on your arm. Just put it on your arm, pull it back and release it. It stings a bit but doesn't leave any permanent damage or scarring. Sorry that you're in this position :/

^this, cutting wont fix anything but make you feel worse, rubber bands can most definitely help

Well it certainly is an alternative, thanks dude I guess it could work :)
Couple of suggestions in this this thread. (Link is to this site.)
Thanks buddy, might become handy :)

I'm so sorry to hear that, you must be in a difficult situation rn.
When I was younger, I used to scratch and cut myself too, so I totally understand your actions.
If you really feel the urge to hurt yourself, I suggest you to try rubber bands. As for me, when I'm really anxious, I use to bite my fingers one by one (from the side). This doesn't leave any major mark, but it mostly depends on how much pressure you put. I know that it's silly, but it's my best advice for you (Oh and wash your hands before you do it ;) )
But if you need someone to support you, I'll gladly chat with you on Discord (if you want too, of course). My username is "lapisalai"
I hope that you'll get better, take care! :)

this is going to sound super weird but to keep myself from falling into the darkness of cutting, i go on twitter to see people's cuts, like on 988twt. it fuels the want to self destruct without leaving any permanent damage. stay safe!
