r/cutting

I relapsed after 2 months and after i did it, i just remembered that we were going on a vacation tomorrow.

My parents would most likely force me to bond with other kids which means that i have to swim with them, honestly, i wouldnt mind swimming with them. Its been a while since i went swimming on the beach but i feel like i ruined it because of my fresh scars. Im scared of them seeing it and im also scared of infections.

Im so stupid i hate myself, out of all the other times i couldve relapsed, it just had to be the day before going to the beach.

Should i just take the risk anyway and go swimming? Honestly, they probably wont even see my scars cuz i cut on my upper leg

And, even if i dont want to, id get my ass beat by my parents cuz we went all this way and i wouldnt even go swimming,,

Should i just slap on bandaids,,,,

TW stitches mention+subcanteous tissue or wtv its called

okay so i cut to fat about 2-3 weeks ago and I had to get around 14 stitches. my mom got the bill a few days ago. TELL ME WHY. THE BILL WAS 6,000 DOLLARS. luckily we have insurance so it was less, but like, imagine we didnt have insurance and we were poor. or like.. if i feel on a knife or smth sharp and went way deeper and it was an accident. what's wrong w america?? why is it so expensive

>!Okay to start this off, I have been self harming since around June of this year. Only cat scratches though, mostly because I don't have good "equipment", but I digress. Recently I have been seriously thinking about shaving my arm hair to make it easier for me to cut myself, since currently when I cut myself my hair usually gets caught up against the blade and makes it hurt real bad. I just wanted to get your guys opinion on if I am too far gone. I am realizing this sounds so stupid, but I am posting it anyways.!<

Listen. It’s hot as hell and I like walking places but I don’t wanna overheat. I’m almost five days clean of like actual cutting but I have a lot of fresher cat scratches on my other arm. Some one the arm i actually cut on is still scabbing. Is this too fresh? I don’t wanna overheat yall 😭😭

Yippeeee new record!

Started cutting a couple months ago but thankfully didn't go deeper than catscratches so they didn't scar that much, the scars on my thighs are barely visible so I don't think I have anything to worry about.

I just want to sh so bad but I can't find a place to do it that isn't visible, I didn't do my arms for obvious reasons so I went for my thighs, now I realized that if I have sex with a girl she'll one hundred percent see them and I'm at that age where it'll probably happen.

I don't know if I should go for the calf or something because I really can't find a solution to this, the urge is always there

It wasn't in a moment of crying or desperate rage, but simply from such a deep emptiness that I couldn't bear it any longer, I barely cried until I saw what I had done to my legs. Because of the fear and the burning, I swore it was just a one time thing, but i've already done it more times today and I'm about to do it again. I don't have a good relationship with my parents or anyone I can tell this to, I don't know what to do

I’m scared of hitting something like nerves or arteries, can someone give me advice?

Pls don't judge I think this is a dumb question, but like all my blades are rusty and I can't get new ones rn, if I use them will I get an infection

Hi, this is my Alt account, so I've been SH for almost 3 years now and usually use my thigh. The biggest reason why is, lets face it, its addictive and can't stop for long. Is it weird for one of the biggest reasons why is Due to me liking the sensation of blood Running down and The feeling of flesh cutting almost a relief to do? It hurts like hell and the stinging sensation afterwards isn't fun but I can't convince myself 100% to not do it. Idk, Is it weird as I think it is?

Does anyone else have an unhealthy attachment to how scarred they are? mine aren’t even that intense, just purple lines at a slight dip or raise, maybe. But I have an unhealthy attachment to staring at them and tracing them, writing about them constantly. Am I weird for this?

Im trying really hard not to do it and i dont know how much longer ill be able to control myself and i really want to avoid cutting.. What should i do?

i work as a cashier and whem im not wearing an undershist to cover my arms customers always adk abt them, i say it was my cat but the scars are too big yo be a cats, does anyone know what i can say when they ask?
