I feel like aftercare is more annoying to do than relaxing. I still do it because health, but I don’t really enjoy it like some people here seem to

Ever since my parents found my care kit and took it away I’ve just resorted to yeeting then pulling down my sleeve. Whatever happens with those cuts is between them and god

Why the hell would they take the care kit away but not the yeeting objects?

i’ll wipe up the blood for a bit but if it’s taking too long i’ll just give up and do that lol

preach 🙏

I have so many bloodied clothes because of this

I would definitely get a lobotomy at claires

Yeah haha sometimes I don’t cut just bc of the clean up involved

Yeah same, if I’m too tired to do aftercare I’ll just go to bed

Saaameee.

I’m like 5 months clean but man last time i yeeted I just went at my legs, put some pants on and let Jesus take the wheel for the healing 🫠 don’t be like me kids

My arm is wrapped in gauze, but I didn’t have proper tape so it’s barely being held on by regular tape

It’s more as a cover up to not traumatize anyone at my school, but it’s annoying as hell

I have resorted to just using a Lysol wipe and praying for the best

I've got a water bottle a roll of paper towels, thays it.

Does it burn???

.. people enjoy aftercare??

i don't know if it's because pretty much all my cuts are cat scratch level but sometimes the only reason why i relapse is bc i wanna take care of myself in a medical way??😭 idk it's kinda weird, but as a child i was obsessed with doctors/nurses, hospitals etc so being a nurse to myself and not being afraid to mess up someone else's body is kinda fun to me- but for deeper cuts, other than getting stitches i don't know much about the aftercare process so i would really like to learn more abt it!!

I don't even do that lol. I just keep an eye on things until the bleeding stops then I completely ignore it. I rarely even hit styro so I don't think it's a huge risk. I should probably be more hygienic with tools though, cause I reuse them a lot and don't sterilise anything.

Im sorry y’all, every time i hear aftercare I’m thinking about sex

its kinda annoying when the steri strips dont hold cuz its too deep and gaping, or when the strips dont stick because it wont stop bleeding...but i remember times where i used to enjoy the aftercare idk why but yeah, now its just annoying

I hate dealing with the bleeding. I just want to go sleep but it just won't stop

need a claires lobotomy and top surgery

Yeah my strategy these days is wait for them to mostly dry, stick a bandaid on em, and wait a few days to take em off. It's worked for me

The most aftercare i’ve ever done was a paper towel taped to my thigh with scotch tape lol

What even is aftercare? 💀

I usually just slap a paper towel on them and then wonder why they hurt later

i love aftercare it gives me more to distract myself from whatever but fuck anything that isnt shitty kids bandaids costs so much. makes sleeping a bit more comfy too with the right stuff idk. also dont wanna freak people out at work and school

Unicorn pink themed lobotomy to cure autism

I don't even wash my cuts when I'm relapsing because I figure I. Not suicidal but if my immune system isn't strong enough to survive an infection it's just natural selection and I'm ready to go

I don’t have any medical equipment at home so the most care I can do is shove two pairs of cotton boy shorts (they’re unisex Idfk why they’re called that) on because it’s tight enough to stop the blood running down my leg.

yeah tbh it's just hassle

I normally don't cut too deep so I just wait for it to dry and pull down my sleeve. I didn't even know aftercare was a thing until fairly recently
