i just wanted to create a thread on this.

went to check something on my arm today to find it was almost hidden (and unnoticeable)

so now i've made myself a promise that i will make it as visible as possible- by constantly using the same area again, and again, and again

i'm so angry that it's getting smaller!

does anyone else get like this?

they realise something is unnoticeable on their arm (or anywhere on their body), and it just makes you want to do it even more than you do all ready?

When I was actively self harming I cut the same places over and over to create large scars. Well, I was successful in creating large scars but guess what? Now I'm better and moving on with my life but I have large scars everywhere, even on my face and it's extremely difficult for people not to notice. I n permanently disfigured myself.

Stop cutting. Stop now. You don't want to be like me. No matter how good it feels now, one day you will regret it.

This comes from a place of love. I love you right now even if you dont. I hope you can love yourself enough to stop hurting yourself.

Yes...please...I understand and have been there as well. My scars are very visible on my arms. Lots of them. I have not created any new ones in almost two years. I have felt the urge...but I don't want any more scars. The ulna nerve in my arm was completely severed. This nerve controls the feeling in your thumb, index, and middle fingers. Neurosurgery was performed. It brought sensitivity back, but in a very unpleasant way. I live with chronic pain, and there's nothing that I can do about it. People see my scars and take notice...I am a 42 year old woman...I do not wear them like badges of courage. They are not attractive. I can talk about it with those I trust and love. Keep your body smooth and beautiful.

I read this blog yesterday...and I cried for her. I cried for myself. I cried for others that are suffering along with me.

I can totally understand this. It is almost as if I want them there. I haven't cut in a real long time so my foot is completely healed. But for the last week I have been craving to do it again. I don't know what is up. I get it though. I can feel for you.
Thanks for this!

I totally think if i can find someone to talk to when i feel this way i won't be so tempted ive consider using the warmline any of you heard of it . It's a national hot line were you call in just to talk i could have called the suicide hotline but its not really a suicide crisis snd i just want to be heard not 5150ed

It's sad that even in the chatrooms discussing SH is such a taboo topic. People don't want to hear about it at all and give support. But that's the most effective place on here to get support in the moment when you're almost out of options. It's not like you need to talk about the SH itself, but having someone talk to you about what's bothering you and why do you feel the need to SH, helping you figure it out so you can deal with it a healthy way...no one wants to do that. THey just hear that you want to SH and think you should call a chatline. Feeling the need to SH and suicide ideation are too vastly different things.
