I cut myself one time. I wasn’t trying to Kill Myself, the pain was just distracting me from the misery. Then of course the cops got called on me for a welfare check. Then of course I had drugs. Then of course they put me in handcuffs. Then of course they saw the cuts. Then of course they had me under watch. Unfortunate
I was stabbing my shoes rubber once with a crochet hook. It slipped and stabbed my web between thumb and my women controller indexed.
I panicked and tore it back out. My hand was fucked for 2 months at least.
Fucking assholes always calling a welfare check on you when they well know you're doing great on drugs. It's everyone else that has the problem.
I was off the map on a whiskey weed cocaine and Xanax bender. That xanax really came in handy that week. Cause I was fucked up mentally
Did it help to cut yourself?
Only time i can remember cutting myself intentionally, was at age 10 or so, after seeing a Rambo movie.. i thought that the scars on his pecs looked cool..
It helped in the moment. I discovered that you can cover up some pain with different pain
The trick is well known regarding physical pain, but is at best comparable with treating mental problems with medicine and excluding psychotherapy..
The root cause needs treatment, not (just) distraction.
I am aware of the fact that not all problems are easily treated (if at all) with cognitive therapy and the likes, but psychopharmaca (and cutting?) is symptom dampening, not a cure.
