I added a rando from /soc/ and he's surprisingly chill about my scars, and very encouraging, tells me not to be too hard on myself and that I'm doing a really great job at just...being mehe's gonna ghost me in a week and then I'll cut to bone haha
yo is it true that you can't get into the army because you have razor scars on your body? cuz I heard my history teacher say that a couple years ago he said he got into an accident at a factory and this arm got scarred and it looked like sh cuts so the dudes at the military questioned him saying are you a psyhco and stuff and he almost got turned down anyway sorry for the long comment xdd
Spoke to my contact at the psych ward today. Apparently she just was on a skiing trip with her boyfriend halfway across the continent. She is 10 years younger than me and I have been rotting in my moms basement since my early teens.Im ready to die now. Can I please just disappear.
>>85886832I'm holding out hope you have a beautiful friendship anon!>>85886888In the UK I don't think so as long as you can pass a mental health screening. I'm unsure about the rest of the world though
>>85886832damn what thread?
>>85887119had this happen with my psychologist, normies talking about their lives to you is like the most evil form of weaponized normieness, literally a fat butcher flaunting a prime rib to a starving stray
>>85887119I often feel the same way, but it helps to remember that this is your life, you can do whatever you want, there isn't a goal to reach besides those you set for yourself.
>>85887167>>85887172On one hand; I feel like dogshit. On the other hand I have completely fallen for her and no matter how wrong/fake it is I care about her and is happy she feels happy for her and her bf that they are living their lives. I just wish I ahd done the same.
>>85887189aaaand we're off the deep end.
>>85887206Well, we post here, dont we?
>>85887216i dont, but i kind of just expected "oh im sad and i cut myself because this happened today" not the sequel to one hour photo
>>85886374I am not a cutter but I have issues with skin picking which honestly looks worse than self harm scars. Ialways wondered if those resources would also work for me
>>85886832hellothat's good to heat :]>that I'm doing a really great job at just...being mewell he's right >he's gonna ghost me in a weekwhy do you think so?hopefully not>>85886888>true that you can't get into the armyI'm pretty sure that is true but it depends probably on where you live >>85887119hey anonseeing people younger than you achieving more is demoralizingbut she didn't have to get through what you had to get through/ doesn't have the mental issues you have, it's unfair I don't get why she even would tell you about that, maybe she just can't relate to you situation and isn't able to empathize>>85887133hey meow o/
>>85887240Im just a middle aged retard khv that wish nobody ends up like me. That goes for staff at the psych ward and to you anons. Please dont sit in front of your computers all your lives. So what you are afraid to. Even if she says no you will have expanded your borders. The next one will maybe say yes.
>>85887303>I don't get why she even would tell you about that, maybe she just can't relate to you situation and isn't able to empathizShe can, and she did. Maybe. She was new to the job (I didnt realise, she is very mature). Any way it wasnt meant to shame her. Im just retarded.
>>85887316personally i just dont have anything going on in my life so it'd be embarrassing to invite someone in to be a part of it yknow, im not getting verbally anally raped by women rejecting me im just not trying
>>85887351>it'd be embarrassing to invite someone in to be a part of itI understand. I feel the same way. Even today. But what is the alternative? Keep living alone having nothing going on in your life? You will probably end up just like me. I can't recommend that for any one.
>>85887145there are regular mental illness threads over there
>>85887459which ones are notable? bump
>>85887337>She was new to the jobso was it your first time talking?>way it wasnt meant to shamestill, it made you feel bad
bumping in teh night
hi guys it's normalfag here. i am really stupid. some dumb bullshit happened- essentially my band isn't going to be able to record anything soon, probably can't play a show this year at all, nobody but me seems to really care, etc. i showed up to do some recording myself and the place at my uni to do so was closed. spiraled for no reason. punched myself in head/arms/chest extensively on the way home. no bruising i don't think. i am not a strong man. i pressed the kitchen scissors to my chest and i thought i have a knife. i know myself i would never actually try to cut with a knife so i figured very lightly tracing it on me would system shock myself out of being suicidal. because i am a retard i chose to do that tracing on my neck. big vertical line from the bottom of my chin to the top of my chest. i was right that it stopped me from harming more but i am terrified that it is visible. it was lighter than cat scratches no skin broken but right now it is a bright red line. i put neosporin on it for lack of something better to do and i am praying that it doesn't show up tomorrow. if it does i guess i just skip classes until it heals and pretend to be sick. which will set me even further back on my hobbies. if anybody sees it i don't know what story i could possibly tell that isn't self harm. i'm scared i'm going to be reported and institutionalized and possibly forced to go on leave from school, which i really cannot do right now without ruining my life. if my family found out i don't know what i'd do. do you guys think it will heal over soon? am i fucked? how fucked? any tips on dealing with this? like i said, it seems to just be a line, no skin breaks. i think this is my body responding to the pressure of pushing the knife slightly, not the actual blade, but it's hard to say. i'm definitely not bleeding. sorry if this is an obvious question. i'm usually not this blatant about things that look like self harm and i'm still very freaked out. i pray you are all well.
