i also wanted to kind of show how its actively seen from a medical point, and not from a mental health point by hospitals. i was treated badly whenever admitted and meant it in a different way than people understood this.

remember if you got on this side of twt and youre reading my post rn while actively thinking of sh or suicide, call someone or get help before its too late.

both cat scratches and fascia are valid but there are high risk and low risk patients, thats the difference. if u go to er with stomachache youre in a better position than someone who just got into a car accident.

@Halfemptyhearts id definitely word it better if i knew i was gonna blow up. youre using really strong words but i understand the point. i wanted to point out the kind of treatment mentally ill people get and show my anger towards it but i definitely worded it badly. i posted an explanation.

@_unnmedicated People like you are why I cut to fascia. You guys need to actually learn when to shut up and also how to word things. Was this needed? No. And the wording is awful

@the0sdiaryy yes! good way to word it.

@_unnmedicated idk why people are so upset abt this…both absolutely need mental care asap, severity of sh does not equate to the severity of a mental illness, however a person with more severe wounds is going to be prioritized for physical care. that’s literally how hospitals work

@ciggytwiggy "biological/medical" point of view on sh is definitely a bad way to measure risk. i wanted to point it out in this and kind of show my anger towards the treatment mentally ill people get but i definitely worded it badly.

@_unnmedicated I think it’s def a person to person thing. Some people can hardly go that deep on certain spots and still d!e

@A_lmd_ you dont need to attempt nor go deep to be taken seriously, i meant it from a medical point only. please if you have these thoughts reach out to someone, my dms are open. i also posted an explanation under this post.

@_unnmedicated Yes, I can balance my life and still get up in the morning but I’m still hurting myself occasionally. It doesn’t mean I don’t need help. This makes me want to attempt just to be taken seriously.

@urrottinghst i didnt expect it to blow up and whoever commented that its their motivation, i made sure to text. i forget how competitive shtwt is, ill take the post down once people that i replied to, see my comments.

@_unnmedicated you’re right but this is probably someone’s motivation to go deeper now

@phospehenefall yes! medically fascia is much bigger risk, mental health wise theyre in the same position

@_unnmedicated fully agree, if there's a difference in needed medical care, then there's a difference in severity. That doesn't mean that someone who hits fascia is more sick than someone who does cat scratches, but idk why ppl are trying to treat them as the same

@emitheime medically (biologically) it is a worse position, mental health wise theyre in the same boat

@_unnmedicated im sorry but this is absolutely right, idk what people arent seeing?? if someone comes in with catscratches vs a bitch walking into the er cut down to muscle, I think its valid to say that the girl actively bleeding out is in a worse position..

@Babyeater69696 there is absolutely no need to, many people dont ever go past cat scratches or scratching and thats valid and absolutely okay. if you need help my dms are open, please consider texting if you ever need help!

@_unnmedicated I wanna go deeper then cat scratches

@owaaww2heart i was looking at it from only a medical point and didnt expect to blow up. i understand why i might come off as ignorant. im trying to reply to everybody to make sure they understand my point, i keep forgetting how competitive this part of twt is. i didnt mean any harm.

@_unnmedicated literally no one said otherwise you're saying this in a self-harm community where people are competitive over injuring themselves, there's gonna be people from said community getting mad regardless of your statement being technically logical

@miaowx199288 thats what i meant, from a medical point as long as there isnt a big risk to your body, hospitals and ordinary people dont care. its really unfortunate and hard because you really are just seen by your body, thats why people end up wanting to "look as sick as their heads".

@_unnmedicated I get that it just always feels so defeating when people all of a sudden care about you when your mental illness becomes outwardly bad. People didnt care when i covered my arm in styros, but just two big lacerations got me handcuffed and involuntarily hospitalized

@zel_spark thats exactly what i meant! its a VERY bad way to measure risk. some people cut only for aesthetic purposes, my father had a friend who wanted to look "villain-like" and he'd cut long wide wounds to match his "aesthetic" not the best method, but it proves scars dont define ur mh.

@_unnmedicated But it’s not always a good way to measure mental health risk/need. Some people are very suicidal and only do cat scratches, while others aren’t and might just have a sh addiction. It’s not a good comparison

@OliverVsh232 @S3W3R_R4TT @r0m_angelll im a medical student and i was speaking only biologically wise, i posted an explanation, i also didnt expect to blow up and didnt expect it was that ununderstable. i get the frustration cause now i see i worded it badly. every person is valid, no matter what.

@S3W3R_R4TT @r0m_angelll @_unnmedicated “You’re valid and all but you don’t go as deep as Thomas so you are less in need of immediate help and care” see how it sounds when you say it out loud? These things are true when it comes to medicine but OP isn’t a doctor and has no reason to state the obvious.

@st4r_b0nes i worded it bad 💔 i wouldve explained it better if twt gave me more space, i understand why ppl feel offended, i meant medical/biological point only.

@_unnmedicated Why are people getting mad at you when ur literally right 💔💔

@Rainingsprinkl it is not worth it! i was talking about a medical point but i really hope it didnt encourage you into actually going deeper. youre VERY valid and i hope you can recover even if you find comfort in it rn. if you ever need help my dms are open, harming yourself is not worth it.

@_unnmedicated This gives me motivation to go deeper so people will say this shi to me 🤤

@Konataaax YES! exactly! i struggle with wording stuff. i find this aspect really disgusting since u dont get help until its too late, thats what i tried to say.

@_unnmedicated Why is genuinely everyone missing the point of this?? If anything the op seems to be finding the "need to go deeper to be recognised" as something unfortunate. It's a true although cruel concept. Nobody cared when I cut myself because it was just a "scratch" until I tired to OD

@_unnmedicated Lowkey depth shaming lol?

@watermeloncxls @nyennnyonn sadly from a medical point more extreme patients are high risk and will be seen differently than low risk patients, first time i went deeper it was because i was told it was just scratches, thats how people see this, i dont agree with comparing disorders but thats the sad truth

@watermeloncxls @nyennnyonn i didnt think it was gonna blow up i usually talk to myself over there 😭 i meant it from a medical point because i see people arguing about this SOOO often, the thought of harming yourself alone is valid but people often misunderstand psych wards for example for monitoring more-
