ok some of these are really funny. I like how some are still rather positive or health oriented, like they acknowledge it's not a good cope at all.
I relapsed recently and a couple days ago I lost more blood than I wanted, and I'm a pussy, so after stumbling through the house with blurring vision and to the medicine cabinet and all that, I ended up holding a glass of water, face to face to a fan, having to hum real loud like a microwave so as not to faint. For quire a couple solid minutes. Going HMMMMMMHMMM HMHM HMMMMMM constantly so my brain wouldn't turn off, on a stool in front of the fan like I'm trying to communicate with it in electric-appliancish. I just think in retrospect it is a funny scene and image, wanted to share in spirit of these lol
As to getting them to sting, not really worth it :/
showers are good don't ruin em for you
Like I get it you are already self harming, I get the gist. Just, if you can, don't let yourself fall to the peer pressure of self harm communities, of missing out or not doing as much as the others, they can become fertile grounds for feelings of invalidation, comparison, feeling like you have to one-up to prove you are hurting as much. You are, everyone who does this is, believe me when I say there is no need to push it further than the unhealthy survival cope it is, never if it's born out of comparison. If you think that's going on, try to stop it. Those are my preachy 2 cents.
take care <3
My scars don't actually sting when I have a shower. I feel like I'm missing out on part of the experience...It's not fair.
Linen shirts. Life saver.
Somebody please tell me how do I get them to sting.
