I get what you're feeling, Jensen, but trust me when I say that over time, you'll learn to feel better when people say they care for you. It might take a long time, but eventually it'll happen. Cutting is only a temporary solution. It'll be a distraction for a while, but while you're damaging your body, you're also damaging your mind. Eventually, hurting yourself won't bring on any relief, just guilt.
Please don't cut. Please for the love of god take care of yourself

Hi! I'm Shuri! If you need anything, seek me out and I'll show you the ropes and help in any way I can!

@TeamMezzo group

for some reason, that can make me feel worse sometimes…. like I assume nobody cares about me bc it's easier, and then if somebody sees the scars on my arm or somehow finds out how screwed up I am and they tell me that they care for me and don't want me to go anywhere/hurt myself, is makes me feel a lot worse

we all care!!

Just like I said.
Topaz here is very right…
Self-harm scars aren't a flattering compliment to your resume either…
Cutting will only bring you pain, not relieve it…

@SaltyLasagna

People cut for different reasons. The reason I did it wasn't to relieve pain.
And I don't like people showing that they care too often because it reminds me of how screwed up I am, and I feel like the person doesn't realize how big of a mistake they've made by deciding to care about me.

Yea and on the long run you'll regret it, I mean, I sure do and I wish that I could have stopped myself from doing it back then, I have to constantly hide them from my mom because I'm afraid she'll be disappointed and it's no easy task

Bite your tongue!
We care for you because you're a charming, witty, unique individual and we want to help you, not because of your problems, but because it's the right thing to do, and because you deserve it. (No arguments, yes you do!)

@_sleeby_rat_

but you're really not that screwed up?? I mean I know my perception is probably off because I've seen some shit but I really think that caring for you isn't a mistake? I care for you a lot and that's never been a mistake

That's right. We've all been through some shit. So have you, Jensen. And we care for you regardless of how screwed up or perfect you are… You got it?

Whether you're cutting to cause pain, relieve pain, punish yourself, give closure, or any other reason, it's one of the biggest mistakes you could ever make. People are not making a big mistake in caring for you, they're making an excellent decision because you deserve to be cared for

yeah, but I don't recall you ever seeing me go off on a bitch for no reason it happened a couple of weeks ago and I think I scared one of my friends bc she saw it happen and I actually fucking hate myself for it

@blue_topaz

A list of things you could do instead of cutting:

  • Keep an elastic band around your wrist and snap it when the invasive thoughts get bad. It hurts, but it keeps me from cutting.
  • Slap your leg, your arm, etcetera
  • Bite your lip really hard
  • scratch your skin
  • draw/paint on your arms

That's right and even though it might make you feel bad all you gotta know is that when you need someone we'll all be here for you

@_sleeby_rat_

bruh you going off on someone from what I've seen is just funny to me lmao

like they obviously deserved it so

and I'd like to note that scratching your skin, especially really badly, is sometimes as bad as cutting. I've got scars all over my arms from it

@Shuri-the-Floof-Doggo

That's right. Everyone has their reason for cutting and they're all wrong, you got that?
Life's gonna throw bricks at you…
Don't run into the bricks, Jensen, use them to build a strong foundation.
We're not caring for you out of naive pity… Believe me… Some people here might be sheltered, but nobody here is naive…
We love you, for your good qualities, and your bad ones…

duly noted, thank you for that. Scratching has helped me in the past because it's satisfied my needs and kept me away from knives, but it's different for everyone, sorry

Welcome to the club of "Kicking ass and Regretting It Later"… I guarantee you I can relate…

I draw on my hands all the time! I often put things like quotes, random gay shit(trademark), and sometimes I'll just write the words "You're okay." over and over again.

honestly I'm scary when I'm pissed and it's probably bad that I don't regret it when I'm really mad but I've been told I look like a psycho when I'm angry

@Shuri-the-Floof-Doggo

honestly I'm scary when I'm pissed and it's probably bad that I don't regret it when I'm really mad but I've been told I look like a psycho when I'm angry

My teacher told me to get off the phone in the midst of helping someone a few weeks ago and I held him up by the throat and told him to piss off…
I don't regret it, but I did explain after class that it was literally a matter of life and death…

yeah but they don't always deserve it. I try not to go off on anyone, even if they did something wrong bc sometimes the person I'm mad at actually did absolutely nothing and doesn't deserve me being a bitch to them
