(he/him for us both) no shit-talking him or anything of the sort please

in forced recovery currently, i know where sharp objects are but im still getting body scanned so i cant cut

we were having a discussion about scar censorship, im very anti censoring healed scars and he thinks trigger warnings are needed and he talked about how real scars make him want to cut deeper so he feels more valid

i know he cant control his triggers but it makes me want to bawl my fucking eyes out, i was so close to accepting my scars and getting comfortable wearing shorts in public because summer is soon but it just set everything back for me

it makes me feel like my body is dirty and bad which i already struggle with from purity culture

its different than my eds too because i dont look starved anymore, im short and skinny but i dont think i inherently look malnourished, but theres no mistaking my scars for what they are and my body will always upset people

he said sorry and tried to comfort me but even the best possible scenario is so utterly depressing to me, i hate the idea of my skin triggering my favorite person

hello!! i ( 13 , tm , he/him ) accidentally cut with too much pressure the other day. i put pressure on it for 40~ minutes, and it still bled when i got up to walk. put a bandaid on it to sleep and that worked well, but it kept bleeding very heavily when i tried to refresh the bandaid. im very soon going to be out of bandaids, and even these bandaids dont fully cover the cut and end up getting some adhesive on it. i currently have tissues over it, and its still bleeding through

would pads secured with tape be an option for dressing,,? im a bit limited in options T⁠﹏T ive heard paprika can dry it out enough but im a tad hesitant to put seasoning on an open wound ,, any advice for makeshift bandages much appreciated, thank you!! stay safe, ilyp :-3
