It’s not exactly “healthy” but if it’s keeping you from harming yourself then go for it. If it works, it works.

Personally, if it’s a coping mechanism, I think that’s completely fine.

Yes, men can be victims too! I’m sorry that such things are happening to you. I don’t have (in person) experience myself, but I can feel the hurt. Yes, you are a victim. Yes, you’re heard and you’re valid. I hope you find someone who believes you and will help you out soon. Please stay strong.

^^ Or I would say athletic tape depending on where it is.

I’d say, once they scab over, makeup. Either that or put a bunch of first aid ointment for such cuts on them one to three times a day to speed up the healing process, and (assuming you don’t have an ED or any other issues with food) eat maintenance or more to make sure you have nutrients to heal.

Yes, you’re allowed to do two words lol. Anything goes as long as it’s something you can recognise as yourself (ofc no slurs and other commonsensical things)

I used to SH for attention. I don’t wholeheartedly agree nor disagree with this (keeping a neutral stance especially because I’m posting said confessions) but I believe they should be able to look for the validation they want without being judged.

Don’t. Just don’t start cutting. I started out of curiosity and, well, here I am. I’m well into recovery but the urges get worse every day. I itch for the pain.

Also tissue anon, you can post your @ if you’d like, or DM me as I’m pretty sure my DMs are open. I can mention you under this post so you get notifications.

Please don’t give yourself an ED, even if your oomfies do. IMO, as an example, it’s like not having a dni. Just because one has no dni and is moots with a lot of proshippers doesn’t mean they are one, it can be applied for this situation too. If nonsh accounts interact, blocking them can be best.
