Gloves
I cut myself. I've recently started to cut up the back of my hands when self-harming if I feel overwhelmed or my depression is particularly bad. I do it on my hands because I'm terrified that I'll cut an artery or something if I cut my legs or wrists, but then it's really hard to hide the marks of the healing cuts. I've tried to hide them by staining my skin with henna, but it doesn't work very well, so I think that I'll have to start making and wearing my own gloves.
I have been depressed for many years and various things make me feel bad or worse, but generally I only self harm if I'm feeling particularly bad or anxious. Sometimes I just feel emotionally numb and worthless, so I do it to feel something, any strong emotion would be good, even intense pain.
I found being caned or whipped was actually refreshing and made me feel good. There is a bonus and you need someone to do it to you and even just talking with them helps me feel better. I'd find the caning would make me feel better for several days even though it took a couple of weeks for the bruises to heal.
Go to a clinic.. say you are depressed. They can give a reference for mental health help. Follow through and contact them. Get better. Maybe through drugs or consultation.
"I'm depressed, so I'll find the stupidest ways of inflicting it upon myself " -- the most brilliant idea a person ever had.
The OP is doing it in the safest way they can, what's stupid about that?
Cutting is safe? How brain damaged are you? Or ARE you OP?
There are many, MANY ways to relieve pain, and many of them don't involve making scars that you then pretend to attempt to hide. Depression as well as chronic physical pain are almost as common as hair in humans. The difference between most sufferers and look-at-me fuckwits like OP is that most people don't use it as attention fodder.
I will never, ever be convinced cutters are not attention hounds. People have dealt with depression and pain for centuries, and this has become much more of a thing alongside duckfaces and throwing up a new selfie every 12 hours. So yeah, it's about attention. You can't prove otherwise.
