i usually don’t curse but what the hell. i just relapsed after like a month and it only stings a tiny bit. as the title suggests: am i fucking immune? maybe just because i did cat scratches but those used to hurt like hell and now ugh idk. is this normal?
hi, my sister cut for around seven years and as far as i know, is now clean. my parents know but she’s now on medication for depression, anxiety, and mood stabilizing pills for her bpd. all of this is to say, my parents are terrified i’m going to start cutting (which unfortunately i have). i have many scars on my leg and yesterday when picking out dresses, there was a huge slit in it and my mom tried to take a look at it but i was terrified and shut her down. she kept pushing so i said “i just don’t like it”. she said okay and i was breathing so hard for the next five minutes that i was about to have a panic attack. anyways, she recently saw a cut on my arm (that was from shaving) and she asked if i was cutting. i said no but i felt bad lying to her but telling the truth. it doesn’t matter how long it takes, my parents will freak out if they find out i went the same path as my sister. how can i get rid of keloids and other scars? im trying to be clean but i just need to get rid of them. does scar tape work over time?
I’m posting a lot, sorry, I’ve never been able to speak freely about this, it feels kinda comforting.
I don’t know how to care for cuts. No one’s ever taught me how to do a lot of stuff especially stuff like this, sorry if it’s stupid. Google doesn’t really help because whatever I search, it’s always: “Seek medical attention”. So how do I care for styros? I usually do it at school, so I shove toilet paper against it and leave it there for like an hour. This probably isn’t the best and I don’t want an infection. One has been stinging for many hours but i think it’s stopped. I’m sorry, I really just don’t know what I’m doing and I don’t want my scars to get deeper, but when they do, I want to at least know how to make sure it’s not susceptible to infection. I just have a lot of questions to make sure I’m not going to get infected, I’m a really paranoid person.
⚠️TW⚠️ description of scars!!
hi, this is awkward.. never really admitted publicly i self harm, but here i am. anyways, i have a whole lot of keloids on my right leg, but on my left is where most dresses slits are and im going to wear a dress on the 17th of june. on my left i have one-two fresh deep scars and like 2-3 cat scratches. there’s like 2-4 healed cat scratches on my left. anyways, im wondering how i can get rid of them before that date. i’m planning to stop sh until like the end of june (hopefully!) because im not in the mindset to stop permanently but i need to try for this allotted time period. i’ve searched scar tape, and it says it takes 2-3 months to work. if i can’t get rid of them by the 17th, how would i even cover up keloids? i heard massages help as well? i dont know. also, my deeper one is stinging a lot more than usual even though its been hours. i’ve never cleaned a scar before. i’m sorry im really new to having a resource where it’s possible to get information about my specific situation. i hope nobody judges me because i really need these gone by then, again, if not how would i cover them up? please help!!
