Self harm that isn't noticeable?

[BetterOnline]

Recently i have been having the urge to try cutting. I don't want to because i feel as if it's easily noticeable. Does anyone know of any self harm that isn't to noticeable?

[loveandlost]

Ok here's the thing, i struggled with body image which led to some self harm. I also had a friend who cut which probably influenced me more. If you have a friend who cuts your more likely to cut yourself, as i have found out. Ok i don't want you to cut, and please message me if you every need to talk. If i might ask is it deep? i used velcro, and i know that sounds stupid but yeah. When i started to cut i did my arms but it was too noticable. I switched to thighs, but ended up having to stop because im a swimmer. I ended up cutting my stomache, weird right? but it was the only hidable place. I would NOT recommend this. Please if you feel the urge to cut please please please message me or someone else, and i can help you instead of cutting.

Thank you and i actually have 2 friends that cut.

Yeah i had a best friend where her dad abused her, and his girlfriend, and she lived with her mom, yet they where having a cusotdy war and her dad was winning. I started cutting because of my problems because i was intorduced to friends who delt with their problems like that.

This makes a lot more sense because once one of them told me they cut when i get depressed that's what i think about.

yeah see i joined a very vigorus sport and i move to live with my mom, because my dad didn't care about me. but i feel if you can channel you issues into somthing else it would help. Do u like writing, sports, drawing?

[BetterOnline]

I like writing and volleyball.

ok so just recently i have gotten really into poetry, i feel you might like that. Also i ran to clear my mind. i dont need to anymore but that helps too. Try this before cutting please.. will you do this for us.. for your friends.. for me?

[BetterOnline]

Awwww you are so sweet thank you for helping me it's really not easy to go through depression and this honestly makes me feel so much better. I will definitely try your suggestions.

[loveandlost]

I would help anyone through anything.. im so glad you will ry my suggestions they really helped me! if it gets bad just message me!

[DragonWolf]

I used to cut myself, i got no signs or scars from it, but i really think you shouldn't start doing it. Feel free to message me if you want. Dont cut yourself, i also hate myself for doing it.

[NoDoubt]

Don't self harm sweety!! Dont!!! It doesn't help!! Message me, let's talk :) DONT self harm, you don't really wanna do that.

[BetterOnline]

This is the kind of stuff that keeps me up at night when thinking about my daughter. I want her to grow up loving herself. I want her to be okay with her self image. I want her to be happy all the time and forever. I know that's unrealistic... Being a parent is hard.

I'm not going to pretend to know what it is you're feeling or that I understand it. Find another woman you can talk to. If you can't talk to your mom about it find another person a little older than you that you can open up to. It may not be easy but I promise you it'll help.

Don't, you will end up with scars and marks you'll have to explain to people for years to come (or will be scared to even open up for what they'll think). One cut that's too deep and you might cut a tendon and lose some of the use or feeling in your hand, or end up bleeding heavily, and have huge scar that will never go away.

Talk to someone, you aren't alone and don't have to face your problems and pain alone.

(I see you've decided not to, I'll leave this here in case someone else who needs to reads it)

You should go to a school psycharitrist or a counselor. Don't cut yourself no matter what, your letting whatever is the cause of this win.

Please don't do it... I used to cut myself when emotion pain was so high. It was a coping mechanism. All across my midriff as it's invisible. Only problem was once the blade went through too much & I've got scarred.
If your religious try to pray or think of god. If not try getting an elastic band around your wrist and stretching it so it's like alternate pain. Please don't think of it. It's habitual & extremely hard to shrug off.
Take care,
Ex-self harmer

Yes, not doing self harm in your case is the best self harm that no one notices...

[Zango91]

Its not worth it. My friend did that a few years back. Now he regrets all of it. And he had to get tattoos just to hide the scars

[Anonymous]

If you cut deeper than just a superficial scratch, then yes it leaves a red-for-a-very-long-time mark. It doesn't even go away, it just gets white.

[James66]

The hell is wrong with u? Dont teach people shit like tat. Its wrong

[Opinion Owner]

Calm your fucking tits.. I am not teaching her anything, I am answering her fucking question. She is scared it will leave marks, I tell her it will leave fucking marks, so she shouldn't do it. ;) @James66

[James66]

Ok but u did tell her tat if its just a scratch then it won't be there later :p

[Opinion Owner]

I told her how wounds behave. A scratch isn't really as dangerous, since she could have gotten it by a cat or so. @James66

[James66]

Ok ok. Its just tat i dont like people who harm themselves. They need to learn how to control themselves and quit thinking about cuttin when somthing bad happens :)

[Opinion Owner]

That's not how self harm works... @James66

[James66]

Lol ok ok... im not gonna understand... i nvr thought about stuff like tat

[vet31bSoldier]

yes. It's called "therapy"
