This is what I did to cope (TMI *gross* involves bl**d)

This involves bl**d, but no SH

Well I had my period today and I usually SI when I'm in the bathroom. I was really struggling and I was changing my tampon and had an idea.
(I know this is disgusting, but it felt good at the time.)

So I started wiping my dirty tampon all over my leg (which is where I SI) and just seeing the bl**d there made me feel better.

has anyone else done this, or am I just really screwed up?

I don't think that's at all screwed up. I really enjoy seeing the blood during my period. I'm not sure it's related to si for me, but I think it comes from a similar place.

Lots of women paint with their menstrual blood, I don't know if that's something you might like to try?

I don't think it's disgusting or screwed up at all
