Self harm methods?

[quikkrelease]

Ive been forced to recover from cutting myself around February, and though I've stopped doing it (somewhat) to avoid the problems it'll cause if someone sees fresh scars, I think of it everyday. It's a thirst I can't satisfy and it kills me.

So, does anyone have any self harm methods that don't cause scarring or at least visible/visibly self harm marks? Thanks! :)

I think it depends a lot on how much control you have over your self harm. If you are a person with decent self control and don't need self harm to be super dramatic or dangerous there are options that are less obvious for outsiders. Personally I switched to cutting only around my private parts in order to avoid any problems with other people. I also burnt the undersides of my feet with cigarette butts or the heated metal from lighters. However, at some point I got tired of having burn blister on my feet as they bothered me when walking. But the inside of hands and the underside of feet heal really well. I also sometimes still hit myself in the face, but realized I should be more careful about it, as I once caused one of my teeth to hurt. I also tried taking a blood sample, but it's not for me as there is no physical pain.
In general it is a good idea to first think through what you are going to do. What damage can occur and how much risk you are willing to take. This can help you avoid trouble later on.

Ahhh, thank you so much!!! I don't smoke but I'll definitely look into these other methods, you're the best! I haven't thought about heating metal with lighters, that's very smart. Have a nice day/aftrnoon/evening!
