Irgendein Scheißtag.

Meine Karte soll gesperrt werden, sodass ich kein Kontakt mehr ins Internet habe, da es wundervoll ist Menschen die Freude zu versauen. Ich hab um Färbemittel gebettelt, alles was gesagt wurde ist, dass ich vergessen habe mit dem Hund zu gehen, also hat er es auch vergessen. Mein Leben macht keinen Spaß mehr. Ich weiß gar nicht mehr warum ich morgens aufstehe. Um angemotzt zu werden?

Does scratching myself with a credit card count as cutting?

shelbys-advice-blog answered:

Hi darling,

Yes, I would consider scratching yourself with a credit card as a form of self harm.

Self-harm includes anything you do to intentionally injure yourself. Some of the more common ways include:

  • cutting or severely scratching your skin
  • burning or scalding yourself
  • hitting yourself or banging your head
  • punching things or throwing your body against walls and hard objects
  • sticking objects into your skin
  • intentionally preventing wounds from healing
  • swallowing poisonous substances or inappropriate objects

As someone who’s a recovering self harmer, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wished I had never once started self harming. I have scars that are not going to go away ever. Honey, I don’t know how long you’ve been scratching yourself with a credit card, but please don’t continue. Self harming ruined my life and tore everything apart for me, I wouldn’t want you or anyone to ever feel like self harming is the answer, because its not!

Alternatives that will give you a sensation (other than pain) without harming yourself:

  • Hold ice in your hands, against your arm, or in your mouth
  • Run your hands under freezing cold water
  • Wax your legs
  • Drink freezing cold water
  • Splash your face with cold water
  • Put PVA/Elmer’s glue on your hands then peel it off
  • Massage where you want to hurt yourself
  • Take a hot shower/bath
  • Jump up and down to get some sensation in your feet
  • Write or paint on yourself
  • Arm wrestle with a member of your family
  • Take a cold bath
  • Bite into a hot pepper or chew a piece of ginger root
  • Rub liniment under your nose
  • Put tiger balm on the places you want to cut. (Tiger balm is a muscle relaxant cream that induces a tingly sensation. You can find it in most health food stores and vitamin stores.)
