Help cuts

[TheWorstLife]

why do these smaller cuts seem to hurt more than this large cut that seems to also go deeper at one point in the cut? they sting compared to the one slash on my other arm. is it because theyre like layered? idk

Sometimes for me going over scars again hurts. But mostly I am able to go deeper and not feel it because in those moments I am so overwhelmed I am disconnected with my body and don't feel the pain as much. Because I have done deep ones over scars and it has only been able to happen when I am in the worst states.

I don't know why but when I was younger I was able to go so much deeper whenever though. I would do it for "fun" and still be able to go deep. Maybe I was more disconnected with myself then because I didn't even know what was going on emotional.

So my opinion, your body needs to really want it.

It can be because of depth. There are pain receptors in the dermis but as you go deeper the degree of pain depends more on what structures you're cutting into. Like fat cells on its own do not have sensations but you can hit nerves in that layer which will hurt more.
Also what you have from last night aren't scars, they're wounds still. They will become scars when they're healed.

ive made similar scratches and they have fully healed with no marks. i dont have razors i just use an old knife, which is still a bit sharp but not a lot. i kinda hope they dont scar but i think they should be gone within like a week or two. im not a big fan of cutting myself so i dont do it often tho so. i would show the cuts cuz they arent too graphic (literally cat scratches basically) but i dont feel like i should cuz it could be a trigger or something for some idk
