Why tf do my cat scratches leave scars?

Ik they're barely anything but I think they'll be a little more visible when I tan. But I thought cat scratches left no scars at all lol, is this normal? Like, I'm kinda happy abt it but it's weird bvs I did them a couple months ago and I honestly thought there wouldn't be anything after healing. They're a little more visible irl bcs my camera sucks, but still if I don't tan much I don't think anyone would notice

Self harm & suicide attempt scars.

The suicide attempt scars I had for about a year and a half now.

I did those scars in a high school bathroom stall

I’ve been mentally unstable for almost 3 years now.

Every time I seek help, things never ended well. And my family doesn’t handle my emotions well. When I was texting 988 while at school, getting sent to mental hospital, my parents repeating refusal of medications, then CPS gets called and my parents blame it on me, saying it’s a waste of time, privacy, money, and I shouldn’t have texted 988.

Though I don’t think it’s that they don’t care, I think it’s that they don’t know how to care, because they never had a suicidal child before:

I had 4 attempts in my life, ages spanning from They all failed. I have a more effective one I’m gonna do in the future.
I won’t state what I’m gonna do, but I am gonna say that it’s not jumping, since I would’ve thought you guys assumed that due to the title.

Over the last few years my mental health keeps getting worse and worse, and even therapy at some point didn’t help. It just wasn’t for me.

But I recently found out that I’m….not as scared as heights as I used to be, and I have this longing to just walk off high edges, and fantasizing about my death in that scenario. The stomach lurching drop like a roller coaster is the only thing that really worries me.

Yesterday night, when I was at my brother’s graduation at the stadium. I was high up, and I kept looking down, the height wasn’t intimidating as it used to be for me in one of my suicide attempts I had in my life. I just wanted to test fall so badly, but I knew if I do it, things wouldn’t end well in that stadium. I was restricted.

I started looking at pictures online of feet dangling off high edges over cities. I just imagine myself walking off a roof with my hair and clothing blowing in the wind, and falling to my death.

And that’s it. I’m gone, for eternity. There’s no coming back.

What bandages do I need?

I don’t have deep cuts but there are a lot of them all down my legs and obviously theyre quite obvious, I was wondering what kind of bandages/wrap thing I could get to cover them? It doesn’t need to medically helpful in stopping them bleeding or anything as most have scabbed but I just want to be able to cover them for a bit, does anyone know anything that could work and where I could get it? Thank you!

Knife to Razor

I found a razor I want to use to replace my pocket knife, but I’m scared that I will cut too deeply, what if I underestimate its sharpness?

I can’t accept they will never be deep enough

It always feels like they’re not deep enough, always felt like that, when i was younger all i wanted was to go to beans, then i would be happy, but as I’ve gone to beans and beyond it still dosent feel close to enough, i want to go bigger, longer and wider, i want to do more damage, even though last time they had to put me under laughing gas to correct my leg (big scar in the first pic) what sucks is that I’m a great healer, so my scars dosent become that big. I hate that, it feels like the scars are proof the cuts were there, that they are what I’m worth.

But I’ve realised that the first step to healing is realising and accepting that it will never be deep enough, then I’ll be at peace.

u/Glittering_Help485 — 1 day ago

This makes me feel so insane.

I feel like i genuinely only self harm now for the scars, I do it in only places people can see and i only care if its styros or deeper, I really need alternatives before I end up getting sent back to the mental hospital. How do I simulate this? please help.

2 months clean!

2 months clean, the new big scar (visible in the middle in the second pic) has finally healed up. been reconciling with the fact that I’m going to have to get over my fear of wearing shorts if im going to survive this heat this summer lol. i went to get stitches in the ER for 2 of these, you can see the stitch marks on them I think. Only the first one (second pic on the inner thigh) got me sent to a psych ward. The second one I was thankfully sent home soon afterwards ^_^

been working on getting clean for 4 years now. it’s definitely not easy and has its great big setbacks but im feeling better now and im hopeful about the future (thank god for medication!)
