I’ve learned that waxing (sugaring, actually) hits the exact same mechanism in my brain as SI, without leaving scars, and leaves me with nice smooth skin that’s well exfoliated. Only problem is that I’m a guy, and people think it’s weird that I sugar my entire body. But OMG, the relief. I intentionally don’t do everything at once, so that I can sugar at least once a week if I want to, so I’ve always got that as an outlet.
Seriously, she’s depressed and her legs are shaved?! Get real.
I do that!
Its a great opportunity to self harm a little.

Oh man I hope I discovered an outlet. Self harm my entire fucking life with either hair pulling or anger rages.
And I like being smooth. Uh oh.
What’s your method?
Editing this to articulate: yeah self harm is not cool. I’ve just struggled with it not glorifying.
