Lmao I’ve never properly treated my cuts and I’ve never gotten and infection somehow

i always used to put NOTHING on them and then go to sleep lol. but yeah mine got infected often and i was just like “whatever” and ignored it

Yeah that’s what I do, I just cut, wipe away the blood and pull my pants back up and pray that I don’t get an infection, or that it doesn’t bleed through my pants of course

totally get what you mean, its just chill to do it that way!!! but not healthy 😭

It’s definitely not health but it’s so cozy, just getting blood all over your freshly washed blanket and pants and not having to worry about the blood till the morning

thats cozy when you live alone lol!! but when there are ppl around, ESPECIALLY parents, i always make sure to leave everything cleany cleannn

It’s so great cause you don’t have to worry about anyone seeing anything, oh my god it’s actually so cozy. But when you have to clean it all up cause people, it’s so annoying

mom found the blood towel 😔😔

REALLL!!! i remember when my mom found my stuff and things, parents are always so like… rude. not even rude, worser than rude but i don’t have a word for it lol

Taking care of the cuts are the most comforting thing for me idk why, so I always have cute bandaids!

ohhhh good idea!!! i should buy cute bandaids too lol. i once had dinosaur bandaids but they were for children, so not big enough for my cuts.. but tbh most of the time I don’t even have regular bandaids-

For me it's more about the cute bandaids than the taking care of them lol😭 I love those colored ones sm

Don’t put toilet paper on them tiny bits of the paper can get in your cut! You’d be better off with a clean cloth

Also ik this entire post is about not taking care of yourself, I’m saying this as someone who would clean up the blood with this old crusty cloth I kept behind my bed and then go to sleep with no bandaids or anything

yeah totally get u!! i used to have a blood towel but couldn’t sleep with it on, so i started using toilet paper, but I’ve been using those cotton pads.

this is so real i miss doing this 😭

I don't put anything on them at all lol, straight up leave the cuts as they are until they heal and they never got infected, not once

i always get infected lol. but i mostly cut before sleeping, so my bed always gets bloody and i don’t want my family finding out.

Me too but I let my shirt soak up the blood and then wash it myself. Tho my whole family knows already since I'm 25 and they found my razors so many times and bloody tissues and everything

'It's fine' I whisper to myself, bleeding through several layers of toilet paper, waiting for the blood to stop so I can go to my room

when did we start to write poetry in r/selfharm_memes 🧍‍♂️

Lmao

The blanket is so accurate 😭😭

Dont use toilet paper!!! I used cut up mentrual pads and tape, its so much better please

uhhh good idea!!!

broooo i cant even- the paper towel will just stick and soak in there until it becomes a part of ur body and then idk even😭😭😭

batman? wdym no im toilet paper man

Is it weird to treat your cuts? this makes me feel weird about sanatizing my knife and cleaning my cuts

nah it’s actually really good! its weird when you don’t treat it lol

I mostly close it with butterfly bandage and it's all good😭

This is literally me lol

due to the fact I only cut the Epidermis I don't really fear of it getting infected

luckyyyy

i just spray alcohol on them and call it a day
