I never worked out how she did those burns. She claimed she "blacked out" and they were just there when she came to. I just can't imagine even a self-harmer giving themselves something that painful and then doing it again another three times.
Have you seen
Kelly Ronahan? The level of self-harm she puts her body through to get medical attention is way more shocking than Dani's few burns. She looks like rotting hamburger meat some days.
Short version: Kelly is very mentally ill and willing to go to extreme lengths to make doctors pay attention to her. She used to be a very bad cutter and possibly anorexic (although I suspect it was more like Jaquie, that she starved herself just to get attention for her malnutrition rather than like Anelise who has an eating disorder and tries to cover it up with an illness). She spent a long time in a mental hospital, currently lives in a group home setting, and became institutionalized as a result. Unlike Dani, Jaquie, and that ilk who find cozy diagnoses and treatment they want then hound doctors for them because they want to be queen of the spoonies and have all the toys, Kelly does insane things to her body and is happy with just about anything the doctors are willing to do as long as she gets to be in the hospital. She doesn't doctor shop. She doesn't want a port and a feeding tube and a wheelchair. She just wants to be hospitalized.
Warning: the following images are absolutely horrifying and a youth of surfing gore sites and medical journals for the absolute disgusting limits of the human body did not prepare me the first time I saw them.
Point is, Dani had one really big self harm incident and never repeated it even though it got her plenty of hospital time. I'd be impressed if she did this repeatedly, but she only did it the one time and never had the ovaries to repeat her performance.
Edit to add:
Sarah-Jean video of the day
Infusing in the car! No rest for this warrior.
Mask is on at Target. Removes it to talk and keeps touching her mouth with her dirty ass hands.
Still looking for Yoda the tortoise. Or rather, her neighbors are while she goes out shopping with Evil Dad
Tells Evil Dad to put her wheelchair in the trunk but he left it home (sounds like he did it on purpose because she doesn't need it). Because she thought he brought the chair she didn't bring her miserable dog, therefore she has none of her mobility aids and has to sit on a chair doing nothing the whole trip all because of him.
Goes to liquor store, McDonalds.
Jump cut to screaming. Someone found Yoda. Yoda is safe (and cute).
Drinks Not Your Fathers Root Beer alone while vlogging.
Decides to torture Freckles after all with a Wommart run because it's too hot to put her chair in the car (what?)
Plays with firecrackers, paints a dresser.
Next day: complains about uploading yesterday's video. Yells at her other dog.
has an event all weekend with Evil Dad.
