5 Months SH Scars

hi everyone I just like to ask questions if these scars will fade and shrink after a year? please don't judge me, I'm tired of hiding those scars and it just embarrass me so much, what natural remedy/oil ointments can I put to make these flatten and white? btw, if you're from Philippines please recommend me some effective silicon sheets/gel that are affordable, it's so hard to find some effective products here. And please please recommend some effective oils to naturally fade them, I don't like injections and laser because I heard that the scars will eventually go back after you stopped the treatment (I also don't have money for maintaining it, so I prefer natural remedies). Thank you so much guys! Love love. ❤️

SH'ing pictures into skin?

Anyone else like to draw pictures on their skin? I just cut a house into my thigh. As a reward for not cutting when I was spiraling. I got to cut when I was stable.

10 weeks clean

Relapsed last night. Dad was mad at me for something I didn’t do. I only cut into the white layer. Usually I cut deeper into the fat layer but right now I can’t afford to have any stitches. Starting my intern next week. Wish me luck ✨

So people are calling me a creep and pedophile because I commented on someone’s post on the shteens Reddit and they were saying that they relapsed

And I wanted to talk to them to see if they were okay then they messaged me and we talked about school and stuff. I’m acc thinking of kms because so many people are posting about me and calling me a creep. I don’t know what to do

Does it make sense for scars to hurt? What should I do?

Especially the one on my leg They also itch sometimes My hand itches more and the leg hurts. Why does it happen? And especially the upper one (which is the closest to the knee in rl)
