I never self harm but today I took my fingernails and scratched my arms, quickly swiping a bunch of times and leaving red lines, tearing a bit of the highest layer of skin, and leaving some red dots on my left arm. I take it this will heal of fine and leave nothing noticable in due time?
>How are you doing today?
More or less ok. It's quite nice today. I opened the bible recently to see what page I would land on, and I landed on a page, the second verse of which, had the name of the place I live, so I read it's chapter.
>Any plans for today?
Attempting to make something of the limited opportunities I'm granted.
>Why did you hurt yourself?

In all seriousness, I'm just retarded and felt a need to punish myself however foolish and nonsenical that is.

>>81658724

>thankfully not to bad.

>yippee :)
it also made us rlly slow though

Doing alright today, went for a run earlier, it was nice out
My head still hurts a bit and is still bruised, but it's getting better. Part of it is still a little swollen like 5 days later though... I wonder now if I might have actually fractured my skull this time.
Anyway I think I'm going to put on a hat to cover it up and go see a movie later. I don't feel dizzy or woozy or anything, so should be fine.

>>81658714 (OP)
>How are you doing today?
Pretty shit lost a good friends and its propably fucked
>Any plans for today?
Gaming and tending to my plants
>When was the last time you hurt yourself?
Today
>Why did you hurt yourself?

>Is there anything bothering you right now?
Fact that in the end we are truly alone

>>81660723

>you played roblox with chroma and meowster?

>I'll try to get lots of cold drinks!

>so ur surviving?

>also made us rlly slow though

>>81660839
>Doing alright today, went for a run earlier
that's good, hope you had a good run and it wasn't too hot.
> see a movie later.
hope it's a good one.
>don't feel dizzy or woozy or anything
that's good at least then, would be concerning if you were.

>>81660848
>lost a good friends and its propably fucked
losing friends always sucks, all you can do is hope you'll find new ones but that's tough.
>Gaming and tending to my plants
sounds like a nice day at least

>>81660919

>>81660839
>went for a run earlier, it was nice out
sounds like a good idea
it less people and less hot, you're gonna make this a habbit?
>Part of it is still a little swollen like 5
yea that doesn't sound good
>fractured my skull this time.
you think you may need to visit a doctor?
>see a movie later
ooa, which one?
>feel dizzy or woozy o

I once was terribly dizzy for a whole week, if I didn't lay in my bed my head would start spinning and I'd make me wanna puke

>>81660848

>bugs are the worst thing tho.
I have no seeta bug in my roon in years
I recommend getting nets on your windows

okay i've been seeing this general for years and it gets a lot of posts.

do you guys actually cut yourselves or are you all just larping? why do you do it?

>>81661822
>for years
it's it weird, time my flies
>actually cut yourselves
some ppl do some ppl don't.
>why do you do it?
sometimes stress relief and also I kind of like having the ability to hurt myself without being scared of the pain or blood

>>81661544
>it is like that sometimes :/
yea I know :(. I just never do anything by myself.
>it'll make it memorable hehe
true I'll definitely never forget it hehe.
>what did you guys play?
we played a obby and a prison kinda thing. we didn't play long tho it was super late for them both.
>what kind of stuff do you like to drink?
I like tea (annoying to make tho) also soda (super unhealthy tho) water is okay. what about you?
>have no seeta bug in my roon in years
that's incredibly good then! they are the worst, make everything gross
>recommend getting nets on your windows

>>81661822

deep self hatred.

>>81661941

goodnight
>just never do anything by myself.
do you think you could find something to do?

>>81662168
goodnight cat, sleep well!!
>think you could find something to do?
not really, I could play games but I don't love gaming alone. I did ask my parents if I could get a summer job which I'll probably do.

>>81658714 (OP)
Hunting Sharks teeth on the beach and had a few decent ones. Not too big as of late
>>81658961
He's a big crybaby and can't handle any kind of thread but blackpill moping

>>81658714 (OP)
>How are you doing today?
Not well. I slept poorly.
>is there anything bothering you right now??
I went to work on my day off to discuss my schedule with the new boss. I'm staying trained in my old job there and saw that they were understaffed in a few areas, so I offered help. The manager on staff didn't like this idea, but didn't turn me away. I had to teach the new group how to do their job. She had a problem with everything I could possibly say. Like "micromanaging" was too aggressive of a word. I was doing extra work for her and it's like she wanted to make my life suck to the point that I'd stop.
I don't know if I'll read the thread tonight. I just needed to voice that somewhere.

>>81662305
that's very cool shark teeth are awesome!!

>>81662410
that's very kind of you for offering to help. and she does really sound annoying and really mean, people can suck. and you never have to worry about reading the threads

Hey every1, a lot has happened recently and I've dissapointed a lot of people :/ also srry for not posting, had an attempt today

>>81658714 (OP)
>How are you doing today?
I've decided I'm going to be sober for the foreseeable future. Only because I need to lose weight.
>And plans for today?
Nope. I haven't done anything productive and I have been incredibly bored all day.
>When was the last time you hurt yourself?
It's been about a year and a half but I feel like every road I take leads me back to cutting. Been craving that feeling a lot lately.
>Why did you hurt yourself?
My answers for this are the same as the last.
>Is there anything bothering you right now?
>The way I view myself fluctuates like crazy, sometimes I feel like I'm on top of the world and other times I hate myself. I sulk a lot and think about how pathetic I am.
>I haven't been happy with my life in a long fucking time. I don't remember the last time I enjoyed living the way I do; I'd change it but that's easier said than done because it's in EVERYthing I do: My body, my room, my social group, my relationships with my family, my diet, etc.
>I need to be sober because I abuse drugs (alcohol, weed, nicotine) and I can't lose weight without quitting those. But those are the only things that make me happy or content. I legitimately just don't enjoy much anymore.
My ego is too big to really open up to people I'm close with, and they wouldn't understand anyways. I wish I was someone else. It's not that the cards I've been dealt are bad, I have a pretty good life compared to a lot of people, I'm just not happy anymore. I have nobody irl that I can talk to about this stuff, I used to but I pushed the (one) person away. I don't know what to do, I feel so alone all the time, and I daydream a lot too so most of the time I'm not even living in-the-moment.

Will probably buy some new razor blades today

>>81662789
Very sorry to hear that, Meowster. It can be hard but try to keep your head up, okay?

>>81660919
>>81661544
Yes, I like running. I was running a lot last year, but got injured. Not running did not help my mood...
>you think you may need to visit a doctor?
I don't want to have to explain what happened. Anyway, based off my internet research, there's not much to do with a skull fracture anyway except wait for it to heal. As long as I don't have any of the "serious" symptoms, like fluid dripping from my ears, it should be ok.
>which one?
Finally saw the new Mission Impossible, it was fine... a little disappointing, but oh well. I've enjoyed the whole series, but this one wasn't as much fun as the earlier ones... so fucking serious. This week, assuming I don't bruise my face anymore, I'll watch the 28 Day/Weeks movies and go see the new one in theaters next weekend, and maybe also the F1 movie. I forgot how much I enjoyed going to see movies, but only matinees when it's less crowded.
>>81661822
I don't cut myself, I bang my head, like with my fists and other blunt objects. It's a way to release pent up... negative emotions. I've done it when I'm feeling angry, sad, disappointed, guilty, ashamed, whatever. I guess technically sometimes my face/head gets scratched and bleeds, but it's not 'cutting' under the strict definition.

>>81662789
hey meowster I hope your okay, I'll always be here I love you.

>>81662873
good on you for being sober.
a year and a half is very impressive, good job. it's not easy to.
hope you feel better soon and stuff.

>>81663404
I hope you are okay.
I've never been into the mission impossible stuff seems cool tho
