Self-harm that isn't noticeable?

[sadsoul]

Does anyone know any self-harm methods that are easy to do and don't lead to noticeable damage? I like drinking two or three bottles of water quickly and then purging. Or just hitting myself. But I feel like this isn't enough anymore, so I would appreciate other ideas.

Would a gentle scrape of the scissors be okay? I hate that I'm recommending this to you, but I really want you to experience relief, I just wished you didn't have to resort to this .

I cut on parts of my body like "legs" "behinde the ear" "hips" yk ?
I burning myself on my legs (tbh nobody see my legs) or i take a bath and be a long time under the water.
And i eat nothing for 1-3 days.

Hopefully this doesn't sound like a joke answer, since it's kind of a bdsm approach, but you could get an elaborate glass dildo and be a bit rough with it, or hit yourself with a thick wooden stick?

What about waxing/plucking hair (it can really hurt lol) or holding ice cubes?

Perhaps use blood lancet to pierce your skin? It's hygiene and the wound closes pretty quickly. There is no scar or infection afterwards either.

Thank you all for your ideas, I'll think about them <3

I sometimes get a little map pin and gently work it into my arm, until I reach the top of the pin. Then I'll leave it there for awhile, flicking it occasionally when extra relief is needed.

My best advice is go to the sink when you are overwhelmed and turn on piping hot water and put your hands in it then make the water ice cold. This will shock your CNS then cause a major (temporary) relief. It will leave no marks, maybe red hands. I hope you find peace soon.

i cut my thighs where noone will see.

I scratch my legs where nobody will see it with a needle, i like how the scars look tbh and also there isnt really blood so its not a mess, also i heat up the needle with my lighter for a few seconds and just press it on my legs i kinda like the sound of it burning my skin lmao

Smoking?

gently strangling yourself. I've learnt this these days while in a psych ward, so self harm - proof. you just need a tshirt or a scarf and you put it around your neck until you find it harder to breathe or feel the blood flow compromised. it won't be noticable unless you really do it hard, which i do not recommend if you are only planning to self harm with no suicidal intent.

If you like cutting, try cutting the inside of your thighs or make small cuts on the sides of your thigh, like the upper thigh almost to your hip.
You can burn yourself with needles or take a penny and a pair of tweezers, heat up the penny and place it on your area of choice.

I don't know if it's good idea for other than pleasure. Being too rough could lead to dangerous bowel rupture. Pushing your limits with the thickness might be safer, but on the other hand that can lead to chronic anal fissure problem which makes shitting feel like needles. I mean, it makes life fucking painful but not in a desirable way.

huge self harmer here— when i know i can't leave a mark on myself but feel the urge, i scratch at myself until the spot goes raw, or heat up something metal and press it to my skin. i also snap thin rubber bands and hair ties on my wrist. all pretty good ideas.

please stay safe in anything you try @sadsoul! much love to you

Small overdoses that you know wont kill you
Fasting
Getting wasted in a tub and doing a valsalva manoever on yourself to pass out into the water
I cut on my legs so nobody sees
Choking yourself with a belt around your neck but be sure to just tighten it with your hands not any object so you dont accidentally die
Drinking tons of alcohol obviously
Scissor scrapes look like burns and are very painful so I wouldnt recommend them
