Recent self harm
 

Hi recently I self harmed and it isn't the first time. Everyone, including my parents, knows about my past self harms. Since I get checked I can't cut. I found an alternative to cut on my chest. I was feeling desperate and cut on my hand yesterday. Only my closest friends know about it and L'm trying to hide it the best I can. I regret it and I'm trying to find ways I can help the cuts heal as fast as they can. I don't care about he scars, just the cuts. Is there anything I could use to help heal the cuts that I could potentially have lying around the house?

Someone please help.

Hmmmmm...that's a good question. I'm the same way. My foster mom checked me every week or so for fresh marks on my skin...something I found that helped was lip balm or chap stick. Im not sure how it works in the healing process but for me it tones my cuts down and makes them less noticable. Remember if the cut get infected or something goes wrong you need to tell your parents about it. I suggest you tell your parents even if it's not tho. I self harm but I'm not proud of it and it is a bad coping habit that doesn't easily go away. I hope this helped. :hug: and please stay safe :)
