Rubber Band Self Harm Scars

In that case i get even angrier at myself amp.

Rubber band self harm scars.

I used to cut i stopped for a few months but had to start self harming again. I pull the band back so far to the point where it almost breaks and i snap it againt my wrist. Alternatives to self harm snap a rubber band around your wrist. I was just curious are there any downsides to this method as an example i have been doing this for a week now and i have gotten a bruise on my hand it probably isn t from me snapping the rubber band but.

The social worker who went through the dbt handout with me suggested the rubber band method too. For me it s a quick fix. Draw on yourself with sharpie draw pretend wounds where you want to cut. You didn t even go that deep that s what i keep thinking to myself.

So far i m doing well only 1 cut in the past 14 or so days. It makes me want to cut more. I started off so so ashamed of my scars but i ve come to see them as just another thing on my body that i need to learn to accept. It s like if i lose my scars then what proof do i have that it ever really happened.

Alice in the past i have self mutilated and recently there has been a lot of added stress to my life. Other terms such as cutting and self mutilation have been used for any self harming behavior regardless of suicidal intent. Self harm also known as self injury is defined as the intentional direct injuring of body tissue done without the intent to commit suicide. I actually get frustrated that the rubber band won t leave lasting scars.

I wish i wasn t like this. The most common form of self harm is using a sharp object to cut one s skin. Besides finding distraction techniques alternatives such as these rather condescending both these methods still use pain to deal with overwhelming feelings or whatever other reason people self harm. If you re in the same position don t be scared to reach out to.

I do this probably 5 times on each wrist multiple times a day. Obviously you didn t self harm or you weren t a real self harmer. When you feel the need to cut snap the rubber band until the urge subsides. Am an asshole who once thought self harm is being selfish and unnecessary to do got to the point where i would self harm my self and finally understood.

I know that snapping a rubber band on ur wrist is a good way to help you out of self harm if you do it not too hard but that s not the case for me. It s a physiological thing. I guess it s a 50 50 thing then. I ve heard about wearing a rubber band on your wrist as an alternative.

So did my school counsellor in year 12. Other forms include behaviour such as burning.
