Cutting is addictive and may feel good in the short term but in the long run you will regret it. You should try other coping mechanisms that simulate the feeling of cutting, such as pressing ice against your skin or flicking a rubber band against your skin. Even drawing it out, writing it out, screaming crying Anything else is better than hurting yourself. I know it’s easier said than done but You have to push yourself to Cope in healthier ways. Cutting will not help you or solve your problems, it will just give you more problems down the line. Signed someone who has struggled with cutting since 2012ish. It’s not worth it

I use the rubber band method

#

It is good I suppose...???

#

You just keep some sort of hairtie or rubberband around you wrist and when you get the urge to cut, you just flick it.

#

It usually gives enough pain and relief to stop the urge but not so much that it actually injures you.

I have raised scars and they have been raised and itchy for years. At this point I don’t know if they’re ever going to go away. Cutting can seriously permanently damage your body and even if it feels good in the moment (this is SOLELY due to your body releasing adrenaline and endorphins to relieve the pain, causing you to feel euphoric or floaty) it is not worth the itchiness and the bleeding and the constant visual reminder. I promise there are better ways to cope with your struggles @severe fox

Hey it helps distract me:)

#

If anything you are doing a favour

#

Not by cutting

#

But by reaching out and telling somebody, anybody.

Something that helps me is that whenever I feel urges to cut myself I remind myself about the regret, healing process, itchiness, near permanent scarring and it helps discourage me from acting on it

It’s also always okay to seek professional help for these things too, as they are oftentimes more equipped with resources for it ^^

This may help you
(Also about henna specifically, ONLY get ones that are natural and body-safe. DO NOT get black henna as it is more often than not unsafe afaik)
