Self harm- hips.

Okay, I kind of lost it today. Properly broke down, to the point where I was wanting to take tablets if I had any. Luckily, I suppose, I didn't.
But I ended up cutting my hip, the cuts aren't too deep or anything but there are a lot of them. Because they are on my hips as well, my clothes keep rubbing on them, and it really hurts when I walk!
I doubt there is anything I can do, but if anyone can think of anything to stop them rubbing so much it'd be much appreciated.

sorry to hear you felt this way today, the only thing I can think of would be to cover them with a plaster or something similar to stop them rubbing against your clothes
Always here if you need a chat
Sory to hear you cut your hip. Aare your cut's long, have they stopped bleeding. When did you do this last? I would suggest that you put plasters over it and also go to your GP and mention it and he/she should give you a cream. I'm not sure of the name sorry. You could also put something over it that will eaze the rubbing a bit but may still hurt

yeah.. they go from my side to my belly button pretty much, but it's only the ones on my hip that rub really.. So I think I might try and get a gauze for them. They keep bleeding on my clothes, because they rub, and it's rather annoying
Can you get gauze's from morrisons and places? Or will I have to go to boots? xx
Yeah, I used to cut the top of my thighs. But there are so many scars on them now... My whole body is just covered in scars I hate it. Part of me wants to get rid of them.. but then whenever I go to put on bio-oil or something, I just can't do it. I don't know why, but I just can't bring myself. x
As Evanstar said i think you should just stick to baggy pj's and spend a couple of days chiling out if you are able.
If you need to get dressed maybe you can stick to low riser jeans and just wear a baggy top over the top.
Its probaly a good idea to leave them uncoverd if you can stop the rubbing as they will dry out and heal quicker i think.
Sorry i cant be of more help i wish i could.
Stay strong xx
I couldn't get a gauze, but I think I'm going to put plasters over the really bad ones.
Thanks everyone xx
Hope you're doing ok today. Most chemists will sell gauze fairly cheap in individual packets as well, the self adhesive ones could work well for somewhere difficult to bandage and you can get them in large sizes.
Make sure to put something on the cuts to keep them clean,

The cuts don't rub as much any more, and I have plasters over the really bad ones. It still hurts to sleep on them though x
