Yeah I spend a fortune on first aid stuff and prescriptions for antibiotics dont help either! At least my dad drove me to A&E so I didnt get the bus too much.
Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different…
you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
doesn't cose me much... i'm only 15.
--no a&e's where i live. my wounds are my own to deal with: paper towels, nerosporn, packaging tape, and whatever band aids i can find in the house. none of that i've had to buy.
--i have plently of hoodies, my collection grows by at least one everytime my mom takes me shopping (like three times a year....) or when i buy myself clothes, which i would do even if i didn't SH.
--Tools are simple things i could find around the house. my ex, who i'm still friends with, gave me one good tool.
--My family is quite oblivios to my scared arms, so hiding isn't to difficult. at school i just just where hoodies. or a long glove (probably one of the only things i've ever bought for SH). Or i just cut where people cant see.
Alice: But i don't want to go among mad people. Cheshire Cat: Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad. Alice: How do you know I'm mad? Cheshire Cat: You must be or you wouldn't have come here.
I always found the most expensive thing for me was first aid stuff. Didn't help I quite often didn't just use 'normal' dressings, I'm into the more fancier, newer products which cost quite a bit more but are ace! I've given up now and then it became Bio-Oil. At the mo I'm not really using Bio-Oil but yeah, that was quite a bit as I use(d) it on quite large areas. Stuff like concealer and foundation too... I don't use any on my face but yeh, dtors appointments, wearing clothes where it may be slightly possibly obvious then use it on areas to reduce how bad it looks.
First Aid is the most expensive thing for me I think. I get that out of my own money and hide it away in my room. The 'tools' are pretty cheap, so don't add up to much..... It is worrying though when you think about it.

my tools are cheap, the first aid, the clothes, the cleaning supplies to keep the bathroom unbloodied.... expensive.
and morrigan... yes some bloodstains come out but it depends largely on the fabric and colour and things... tis very dependant. and sometimes multiple bloodstains over the top of one another can make a stain very permanent.
but it always worth at least trying to wash it.. not straight-away buying a new one!
i'm a "dirty self harmer" too. i don't think i've ever bought first aid supplies in the nine years i've been self harming. bus tickets to A&E, antibiotics and long-sleeved tops are about all.
I agree with alot of people it all adds up. Blades at the moment are free for me, but i have to spend money on first aid things as my parents think i have stopped it, so i cant allow it to get infected. As far as jackets i normally dont do my arms i have stopped there, so jackets arent really a problem just dont look forward to holidays abroad.
I'm really scared now.
I have to start paying for prescriptions in a year and I get loads of prescriptions for anti biotics.
It's too hard to stop.
I don't pay for anything else...tool...I deep clean. Antiseptic stuff nick from the first aid drawer downstairs...tissues etc.
Well actually, I had to buy dressings once, but they were cheapish.
I'm really scared :S ...
I've never wanted to add up how much my SI costs me. My first aid supplies don't cost me that much as I buy bandaids in bulk, but antiseptic cream isn't cheap. Not to mention the cost of petrol from going to & from the doctors & the treatment.
I've never thought about it until now.
