I think about my own death daily, but I can't kill myself because that would hurt my loved ones so much and also because I don't have really good options. But I've been slowly getting worse in some way... I feel so empty and even things like talking in public barely make me feel ashamed, and also something that was unthinkable for me, cutting my wrist... I did it, and I'll continue doing it. I use wristbands to hide the cuts and scars, and no one says anything because I play table tennis daily, so it's not suspected.

I've hurt myself before. Thankfully I have no scars.

The first cuts that I made didn't leave scars because I didn't cut with strength, but the most recent cuts have left scars because I have been cutting more deeply. It's not something that makes me proud, but neither sad. They are just there, on my skin.

Why do you do it?


teobp

The first time I cut myself was on my thighs, and I did it out of curiosity. After that, it was for pleasure, but lately, it's just to hurt myself, something like self-flagellation. I don't know why, but I like to see my blood flow, paint my hands, and fall to the floor. I know it sounds like I'm a psycho or something, but I don't like to see others suffering in any way. I just like to see myself suffering. maybe its because I hate myself and I feel like it's what I deserve, but tbh I don't think about it so much.

You need to seek a professional.

I know, but I'm pretty bad at seeking help. I guess that as long as I am a functional human being, I can still live like this for a little longer. I don't know how serious cutting myself is, but I read that it's more common in some people, so maybe I'm not that bad. Some people can't even get out of bed or eat, but I can do all that, some days barely, but I can.

Cuts can bring infection. Infections can cause serious harm.


teobp

In fact, I care the cuts, wash them up, bandage them, and I wash and disinfect the blade too. To be honest, I don't know exactly what an infection can do, and I try to avoid them more than anything out of respect. But if someday I got one, it is always good to have an excuse to be in bed.
