So this happened last night
The story
So I've had problems with SH in the past. It's gotten really bad now, and it's all on my legs so it's easier to hide from my parents. My mom thought she took all the sharp objects out of my room, but, well... my pencil sharpener. I took the blade out. I started feeling ashamed of who I am, so I might've written a couple things with the blade (I wrote "Kpop," "LGBTQ," and a therian symbol) then put an X through them. And on the other leg... I wrote smt I don't want to share. One of the things is still bleeding and I couldn't find a bandaid big enough to cover it so I used toilet paper and fucking packing tape to cover it and make a makeshift bandage.

Aside from talking to a professional to avoid repeating this kind of behavior, right now you need to treat this physical injury properly and asap!! with something other than toilet paper... 😮 don't spend time on the Internet now, talk to someone and ask for help to heal this wound!
fully agree with this comment, do not try to cover that with toilet paper, you need to do that properly :(
Wow, I totally feel you on this one!!! It's rough when things get to that point, ya know? I've been through similar stuff, and it's just so hard to deal with. It's like, do the parents ever really get it??? I've had to resort to drawing on my arms with pen just to vent and hide what I'm actually feeling. It's like, where's the line between self-expression and self-destruction? 😟 Your use of the pencil sharpener... I've done similar things before. 🙈 It’s tough to talk about, but thinkin' about this just reminds me how strong we really gotta be to keep going. Hang in there, okay? Keep talking about it. It does help, promise!!!
honestly, not sure if i totally buy into the whole sharpener blade deal. i mean, dealing with problems by causing harm just seems counterproductive, right? like, why make stuff harder for yourself? i get that life's crap sometimes, but damaging yourself ain't exactly solving the issue, ya know? we’ve all got our struggles, but there's gotta be better ways to cope than carving words into your skin. have you tried talking to someone who gets it instead? trust me, it’s more helpful than you'd think. anyway, hope things get better. seriously, think about finding a healthier outlet.
tbh, i'm kinda skeptical about the whole pencil sharpener blade thing; ever thought about how confronting what makes you feel this way might change things up a bit? it's like Einstein said, "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results," right? hurting yourself physically won't mend what's broken inside, it just masks it for a while. 🤔 instead of hiding your troubles, maybe try opening up to someone who can genuinely listen and understand where you're coming from; there's a world full of support out there waiting if you reach out. hope you manage to find clarity and healing in healthier channels soon.
