So fit, do you think my scars can heel in a week or two or just enough that they wouldn't be noticeable in the gym? I don't think they are that deep so i feel its possible. Thoughts?
I want honest answers!

>da joker baby
wear a long sleeve
don't cut yourself if you're too shy to have visible scars ffs, are you dumb? better yet don't cut yourself at all that's for morons
Well, it turns out that I am moronic that used fricking kitchen knife to cut up my wrist. That was a godawful experiance and I don't think about ending my life after that(atleast yet). Going to the gym and lifting has been the only thing worth looking forward in my life. I wanna know if these scars will heal quickly or not. I don't think they are that deep so I feel pretty optimistic. Thoughts?
All you can do is eat plenty and vitamin C maxx. But don't do that shit again, anon, for the love of god. Self-harm is one of the most pointless and embarrassing things you can do.
I kinda get that. I wasn't really overweight or obese(but still skinnyfat) and used lifting as a way to escape my negative thinking(living in a third world shithole). For a moment I felt like my health drastically improved for a while. Right now I have been lifting for 3 month(2 months if lifting consistently). But the negativity started to emerge again and I guess it got the better of me. Cutting my wrist was probably the most convenient thing at the moment I guess. But I am not thinking about that anymore(not after painfully cutting my wrist repeatedly with a kitchen knife that has god awful sharpness).
Well you can always plank to failure, that's plenty distracting for me
Why do you care if your scars heal if you literally were about to have a nice day, it doesn’t matter at all. You just made this thread for attention.
Been lurking this place for 2 years at the moment. I was originally gonna post this on reddit but feel like IST was the perfect anonymous site to get my answer. I do admit that I fricked up pretty bad but I think they might heel enough that it wouldn't be noticeable. Or enough that I can make up an excuse that can convince the person otherwise.
You should off yourself again but succeed this time
People aren't going to come up and ask you about this. You don't have to worry about that side of things. Go lift, join a group class or something. it'll help you
>You just made this thread for attention.
Bro "scratched" his arms with a kitchen knife and calls it scars, of course he wants attention.
>used fricking kitchen knife to cut up my wrist
Fricking sharpen your knives, I don't know how you can cook with this shit if it lefts cat scratches on your skin.
True. That was pretty fricking stupid of me. They were pretty okay enough for cutting vegetables and such so I felt that it might work at this moment(turns out they didnt).
you should be embarrassed
My thoughts are you should go to church
Wait
THAT was an attempt at committing suicide?
I put almost an entire knife in my leg just to get out of work.
>just to get out of work.
Lmao just leave you fricking moron.
>just leave
Sick pay bro
Got like 6 weeks of that shit
Everyone at work also thinks I'm sick c**t
That's supposed to be self harm? It looks like you were attacked by a kitten lmao
Ok I'll take the bait. Why did you cut yourself like an emo gay?
What happened? Your cat go apeshit on you?
You want people to notice and feel bad for you so bad don't you
No this will surely leave a noticeable scar for a while,wear long sleeves or get some non harmful cosmetic to cover them after their fully healed but just accept them now,also dude dont do this shit again theres always a better way out no matter how bad you think it is
if you're gonna cut at least put some fricking gusto into you goddamn pussy
I still remember the days of DarknessInMyheart or some type of shit... my god....
Your arm looks like the arm of a 20 year old, and you're on fit and it's the arm of someone who isn't overweight, and your complexion is good, so I"m assuming your diet isn't too bad
>a week
probably not
>2 weeks
maybe
>3
more likely
>4
think this is the sweet spot
you're a gay for cutting, you could also just wear some compression long sleeved shirt from wal mart for 10 bucks for a week
you're a gay for cutting x2 just for good measure
have a nice day yadda yadda yadda
you get the point
die of aids
You go with traffic, not across the street.
Imagine being such a fricking loser that you cannot even have a nice day properly.
That's pussy chicken scratch attention seeking shit. I slashed my arm open once with a steak knife and tried to OD on pills I've been depressed I know to be understanding about real shit when I see it but what you are is basically a woman.
It's ok OP I cut myself too but not on my arm. It looks like you didn't cut deep enough to leave scars. Those will probably heal up nicely.
Bruh dint be a gay and cut yourself. You'll look really stupid in 10years. Trust me
Sorry about what happened to you man. I think you really need to be in a negative state of mind to do something stupid like this(atleast for most i guess).
Thanks anon. Those are over 10 years old. I'm 30 rn so I'm no longer suicidal. Life isn't perfect but it's getting better
Nah you look like a badass, picked a fight with a bear and won (Sorry about what happened Anon I hope you’re doing better now)
my fellow hurters, I feel safe here.
It’s been 5 years lads, the scars really feel like they are going to stay forever. I always feel embarrassed about them.
Don't be embarrassed. You don't have to go all Tumblr and put them in everyone's face either. I wear t shirts everywhere. People see them but honestly idc. They've never messed up my dating life. Had tons of cute girls who still wanted me
So, no cap, why cut? Seems super cringe. My b***h sister did this too. fr never met a cutter that wasn't a whiner.
No cap?
Consider getting a sleeve tattoo to cover those up.
Im considering blacking out my existing tattoos to cut myself more on top of it
Tattoos are trashy, imo. My scars are ugly but the idea of slapping a tattoo on it somehow makes it worse in my head.
Was super depressed and physically abused constantly, so I'd get drunk and cut myself.
>physically abused constantly
Kek you poonanny, My dad broke my jaw and all of the blood vessels in my eyes and lifted me off the ground by my neck as a kid to smack me around and then made me eat rotten food to top it off, that shits supposed to only make you stronger. Don't cut yourself over it that's girly.
I AM MY SCARS!
>zebras
I guess we can safely add "self harm scars" to the list of cringe millenial stereotypes.
emo/scene was a bullshit fad that many millennials fell into during their formative years
So you're saying millenials literally slashed their wrists open to later criticize zoomgGODs for tiktok dances?
every generation has their shortcomings, millennials did stupid shit because not everything was recorded and since the net was new, know one knew what to post on it, creating some very cringe examples
zoomers were ONLY raised on the net and were influenced by what millennials established, they can barely interact with each other face to face and are the most hyper consumerist, clout chasing, selfish generation there is, god knows what gen alpha is shaping up to be
put some neosporin on that and itll be gone in a few days, a week or two is more than enough time
you could go to the gym today and probably be fine, strangers arent really on the lookout for that
and stop doing that, its moronic. get help. you need fulfillment, and cutting wont give you that
>t. started lifting as a replacement for cutting after failed suicide
based recoverers
Damn you just reminded me of my annoying college roommate who was cutting his shoulder with razor blades what a gay lmao. He's now an SF techgay with a sister who trooned out and is ftm now
>light blinks
>beep BEEP
Sorry anon, this item is worthless
I wanna be like my favorite black metal bands so I need to cut myself for scars.
Those scars will heal and be almost invisible. Do yourself a favor and don't add anymore, the more you cut the harder it is to control how deep you go because you start to care less and become desensitized. I bet those ones will be healed pretty well after two weeks.
I'm three years no self harm. Only one scar is visible now, and it was when I was drunk, it itches sometimes.
Massage it when it itches. I had huge keloided self harm scars and did that you have to get the blood flow back into the scar tissue and that's the best way.
Thanks man!
It'll also help shrink them even more if they are like mine. Mine were super deep.
That's a relief to hear man. This way my first time cutting myself with the intention of ending my life(cause it felt the most convenient method to do at the moment except for jumping off a higher place but that will leave a mess). But I fricked up pretty bad and stopped after repetidely trying to cut a vein until it started hurting me pretty bad.
Looks like you tried to bathe a cat. Use these next time bro.
Looks like Mittens is about to step into the ring to defend her title. I've got $100 on TKO by snoot boop.
i would think youre some gay emo homosexual circa 2006. go listen to your mcr and update myspace
No idea what mcr and MySpace means but I probably would chosen more painless method if it were more convenient.
be honest are you 16
Nope 22M, living in india.
have a nice day properly next time and spare us from this shitty thread
Just cover it up with some real men suicide scars
They are pretty faded after 5 years
Sorry about that man.
Those are some of the pussiest scars I've ever seen, did you even try?
It was my first time and these were made from a kitchen knife that wasn't sharp(because i am fricking stupid). So I stopped after repetidely trying to cut a vein cause it was hurting me pretty bad. Honestly these suicidal tendencies are pretty shit and stupid way to deal with your mental health and I kinda realized that I guess. Just felt like they weren't Deep enough so I they wouldn't be noticeable in a week or two.
Have you tried not giving a frick. The worst that can happen is someone will ask you what happened. No one gives a shit about your scratches.
I kinda hope that this is what will happen. Wish I had that attitude about everything.
Dear diary, mood: apathetic
I'm an emo kid
Non-conforming as can be
You'd be non-conforming to if you looked
Just
Like
Me
I wear paint on my nails
And makeup on my face
I'm almost emo enough
To start shaving my legs
Not emo though(well depends on how you define it, cause i dont really hear those kind of music and dont do makeup and polishing my nails). Just started lifing as a way to stop myself from thinking extremely negatively about a lot of things(was pretty successful for a while I think?).
Those aren't even scars yet. Put some vaseline on it at all times you will be fine
nice little scratches, bro
make a thread when you actually draw blood, or really want to hurt, you fricking pussy
I surely wouldn't make a thread about it if I was successful. I made this thread cause I felt like these would heal pretty quickly. Honestly if I had a deep cut and that didn't even kill me then that would be kinda depressing cause I would have it for the rest of my life.
i guarantee you no one will care
What are you, a teenage girl with daddy issues or something? Grow up
Never understood this and I’m horribly depressed. Have been for years. What gets me by is my faith in God and the fact I know I control my own future. You’re not helping yourself by doing this kind of thing.
It's a bodily reflex. I've only cut twice in my life, and it was pure reflex, I was not thinking straight. My body instinctively grabbed my car keys and began scraping my shoulder until I bled. Then, pure relief and euphoria as I passed out. I don't think people plan it out.
it's almost only women who cut themselves because of how they internalize pain. the """men""" in this thread are an exception to the rule
Funny looking papercuts you got there
you all out here cuting yourselves instead of reading the bible and listening to God? fricking idiots
just buy a kitten so if anyone asks you can blame it on him
I got in a depression right after a girl cheated on me in 2020 and took a knife and started stabbing my arm in a fit of rage.
I just told people I was climbing a telephone pole and they bought it.
I got really angry and scratched up my arm with my nails made it bleed on purpose. Is that less feminine than cutting yourself? I feel like it is. If it scars it won't look like I cut myself it'll look like I had a crazy girlfriend or a cat.
I think you have actual autism.
It was a tism rage but going Left 4 Dead on myself felt good. Have you tried it? I think clawing yourself is way less fricked than whatever slowburn pornographic rituals cutters go through.
moron
millennials are extremely pathetic
only >boomers are worse than them
queue the seething
>scars
lol, those aren't even cat scratches, lil homie, just say you glanced a wall with your hand
That's not a scar that's barely a cut
>that many zebras on IST
I prefer bar codes
I want to start a dsbm band but look like a normal dude should I get into cutting so I don’t look like a poser?
If you need answers like these answered unironically then you should actually /wrist to elude yourself from the gene pool.
>UHHH WILL MY CUTS HEAL GUYS?!?!
Not if you don’t care for them idiot. Go buy scar ointment and disinfectant you fricking moron.
vaseline
don't pick at them
please stop 🙁
Quit making up scars for me. I learned enough from the ones I had.
since you're cutting yourself you must be a 14 year old girl, which means you're too young to be posting here, so please leave
The light will heal your scars
Seeing all these cutters makes me want to watch Hellraiser and quote Pinhead or the doctor demon guy at cutters lol
Idk. Maybe put tretinoin cream on it. I used to have a huge facial scar and some bad acne scars. Tretinoin took care of all of them really quickly. Take collagen too.
Do this once it heals. Put Vaseline on it. Make sure to wear sunscreen on the area as well since the sun's rays darken scars.
Also I stopped cutting and when I feel overwhelmed I hit or bite myself. The marks don't last too long.
wear wrist bands
>All these skinny wrist homosexuals who cut horizontally for attention like a woman
If you're looking to be validated for your "trauma", go make a post on Reddit.
What's wrong with cutting? If it feels good to (you) and you're not moronic enough to hurt yourself, what's the problem? People already mutilate their bodies with tattoos and shitty lifestyles in general, and that's somehow socially acceptable.
What's the appeal? If you find some masochistic pleasure in pain, why not just do interval sprints until your knees give out or 20 rep squats until you collapse or any other equally horrific form of torture? That will at least provide you with some physical benefits.
Because that would interfere with my recovery and program
This line of thought is how I convinced myself to run and lift instead of self harm as an angsty self-hating teen.
Years later I'm still self hating but in a nice body, so, I think it worked?
>What's the appeal?
I don't know. I'm not a cutter.
>If you find some masochistic pleasure in pain, why not just do this or that
I deal with obssessive hair-pulling and find other compulsive habits like nail-biting disgusting. I guess it's the same for cutters. Other shit just doesn't feel good. Same with how we love some lifts and hate others.
These are so superficial and without pattern that if you aren’t a teenage girl I think people would think you got scraped by a branch or wires or something.
For people to think SH they’d be deeper and in neatish rows of parallel lines.
Your pic might not even scar. That’s how shallow they are.
it's all up to his genetics
I've gotten a permanent scar from a playful catch scratch
>got scraped by a branch
this is a good excuse if anybody asks
millennial """""men""""", everyone
I don't need answers. This is bound to fall apart someday.
cut deeper, get massive noticeable scars, attract an "I can fix him"-type girl, marry her
Yo everyone has them on their arms. No one cut up their shoulders?
my shoulders got the worst of it, got gnarly scars on them
i kept all my cuts and burns where i could hide them easy, never did forearms
Ive seen worse paper cuts op
I used to self harm because I was an attention seeking gay and just unhappy with my life. I stopped when I fell in love with weightlifting and realized that at least I'm not a manlet, now I'm a gay with muscles.
And also those scars are really shallow, they'll go away in a week or two. Keep on keeping on, one day you'll look back in hindsight and realize that self harm is for troons and 15 year old girls.
Just wanted to say sorry you're hurting buddy. Never understood cutting until a year ago when the woman I thought I was going to marry left me over SMS. It's crazy how simple it is
>blood release endorphins
>cry for attention and help
>social contagion like trans
That's literally all it was for me. Use it if you have to but focus on thinking of other things than your pain. Wish I could say it gets better with time, but truth is it just gets different.
Have a good one you fricking Black person
Hey man! I know I am replying a bit too late on this thread and I just wanna say sorry what happened to you man. My main motivation was to just end my life. If I had a more convenient and less painful method like shooting your brains out or swallowing pills then I would of done that. Honestly just wanted to free myself from all the negativity that have been bothering me for 4 to 5 years.
Imagine being a male and slitting your wrists like a 13 year old girl
Manlets btfo
>AHHHH IM GONNA KYS MYSELF IM SO DEPRESSION GIRLS DONT APPRECIATE MY POP-CULTURE REFERENCES

Never got into cutting. Worst I do is punch my face or break something expensive. At least black eyes look cooler than barcodes

>severely depressed and suicidal over being a complete failure in life

I guess my self destructive habit was worse, Internet and tv addiction, which has had a big part in be completely wasting and ruining my life
I can fully regenerate skin after 8 days on an already inflamated area from previous lesions
Found this out while doing micro needling
But if I let the redness fade and wound it again, then take more than two weeks
