People with mental illnesses should have a place without having fear of being locked up for talking about their selfharm or suicidal thoughts but none of you are ready for that convo yet
hi hello i’d like to make sure everyone knows the basics of wound care gels and creams that are affordable and helpful! this is my first post regarding care so i’ll start with minor wounds (´∀`)
MINOR WOUNDS (CAT SCRATCH)
aloe vera gel: this is typically noted for helping soothe sun burns, but it actually helps to clean and heal up wounds too!
neosporin: a classic antibiotic ointment and pain relief (lidocaine) for minor wounds at risk of infection.
polysporin: neomycin-free antibiotic ointment option, good if you might have sensitivity to neomycin.
after applying the gel/ointment, cover the wound with a sterile, non-stick dressing/gauze or appropriate bandage. covering helps keep it clean and moist which helps prevent infection!
i will post moderate and severe tips as well, stay safe!!
TW TW TW. I wanna relapse so fucking bad. It’s all I’ve been thinking about the past 2 days. I need to slit my wrists again aghhh. I need to feel the blood flow down my arm, I need to see my styros. I think that would keep me going for now.
