Iin: i like to lick my self harm cuts? *triggering!*

Without going into too much graphic detail, I like to cut myself pretty deep, enough that I can see that the top layer of skin has split open, but not enough to see fat. It's not so much as a release or a self-hate thing as it is a fascination.
After it's clean and the blood has stopped, I lick inside of the cuts. I can't say why, it's just a really satisfying feeling.
It wasn't until recently when I found out how strange it is. I just don't want to be alone in this weird habit tbh

    If you don't want to be alone in that weird habit then just quit.

    Hi sorry for the presumption but the things you've written really resonate with what ive felt before and i wanna say I'm here if u need an impartial ear and that the more you talk about the pain when it hits, be it to the samaritans(who r 24/7,confidential and saved my life) or imalive(dot)org, Crisischat both of which u can textchat online, the more the pain and anxiety lessens. You can move past this but you don't have to fight alone, lean on others and the stronger and happier you become. I'm here, keep talking you can beat this

    I was the same way. I'd suck on them until it felt like no more was coming. Idk. I honestly love the taste of my own blood. Then again...it's frowned upon by society but meh.

      Consider talking to the samaritans(who are 24/7,confidential and saved my life) or imalive(dot)org, Crisischat both of which you can textchat online,whatever is going on with you, you don't have to deal with it alone, if you feel bad enough to hurt yourself, your pain is worth being acknowledged and listened to, there are sources to help and listen, don't go through this alone

    I'd say it has to do something with iron deficiency. You need more iron in your body, hun.

    Ouch. I'd imagine that would sting.

    1. Get some therapy for the self-harm
    2. Just stop licking the cuts... please.
