Started cutting myself today :P

[DeusVult]

I've been depressed for many years, but I never self-harmed before. I finally tried and cut myself on the arm :) it bleeds nicely, but it's pretty hard to cut through the skin, my knife isn't too sharp :( but I have to say I do enjoy it.

hey, sorry you did. I know it feels good won't deny that myself. I'd also be the first to say its not the best cope out there, and yeah its a lot Lot worse if you become addicted to it. gotta say that if you've just started, or you have experimented with it today, which is valid.
i hope you know how to take propper care of the wounds, there are resources for that here if u need, and for the tool too, important.
consider whether you want to keep doing this, or try some other stuff, its your choice for now. I just hope u feel good enough soon so that you dont have as much need to turn to it regardless, hugs <3

Ive been burning my self because I was scared that cutting would lead to too much blood loss that would make it hard to hide but these burns take a long time to heal and take up quite a bit of space. I want to keep them hidden and just for me so I might switch over to cutting

I still have a few scars from 4 years ago so you shouldn't continue doing it. I know it feels good but still, as a human, you did your best in life and ended up where you're at right now. You might not be happy about it but think of all the progress you made, all you've managed to go through and survive. Because of this, you shouldn't punish your body. You should be proud of yourself.
