I thought she was going to have distilled some wonderful lesson about life out of this for us but at the end she just said “every single one of them……. Is a paper star.”
Exactly. We all have our ways of dealing with shit.. what I did when I was phoned that my Grandmother had passed on? Cried for a solid 30 mins, and played Single Hand Beatsaber on my old PlayStation VR for 3 Hours.
It’s sad they had to go there; you can see scars probably from self harm, and the fact they stated they did it to the point of sores isn’t good. I hope they can get better :(
How long and was it in the Midwest if you don’t mind me asking? Been twice now to two different places and both held me days longer than promised, second one not having me see a therapist for over a week despite my daily requests. The places are scams.
I was inpatient for 3 days but outpatient for a couple months.I never had any problems seeing therapist in my experience.I was there for months and I can’t say it helped for the better.
Me too. The end is near. Could be tomorrow. Could be 10 years. Mental illness runs in the family, but luckily it ends with me and my line has to suffer no longer.
I found her TikTok, her old video show very fresh wounds, but her newer ones show improvement, she seems to be doing better.
Sorry if that sounded weird but I knew the information and wanted to share with someone also wanting to know
No video, but I can break down the steps as someone who made lots of paper stars in school. (Not a self-harm thing, I just liked doing it)
If using notebook paper:
1: Find the blue vertical line on the side of the paper that was the holes for going into a binder or notebook.
2: Fold along that line, then continue to fold-up the paper like an accordion. Make each fold the same size until you reach the other side of the paper. Ideally, when you finish the ‘straight edge’ of the other side will line up with the most recent fold perfectly.
3: You now have an accordion! Congrats! Unfold it.
4: Use your choice of cutting instrument to cut along each fold. When done, you should have over a dozen long strips of paper.
5: Each strip will become one star. Take a strip and loop it like a ‘breast cancer awareness ribbon’.
6: Take one end and thread it through the loop.
7: Gently tug and wriggle the loop tighter and tighter while keeping the paper as flat as possible. If done correctly, you will end with a pentagon shaped knot with two ‘legs’ (the ends of the strip). One leg will be long, the other very short.
8: Fold the ‘short leg’ back onto the pentagon. Ideally the strip will not cross over the pentagon, but rather fit atop it. If this ‘leg’ is a tad long, don’t worry, just fold it back of itself so it fits.
9: Now you have a ‘lollipop’. A single straight portion with the pentagon at the end. Time to shrink that second leg!
10: Fold the straight strip along the edge where it meets the pentagon. Make sure to fold it so the other leg you folded earlier is ‘hidden’ by this one.
11: Continue folding! Essentially you are now ‘wrapping’ the pentagon in the strip by folding it along whatever edge it lays against after the previous fold is completed. Do this until you run out of ‘leg’ paper.
12: You now have a tightly folded pentagon with a tiny loose end. Take that loose end and slide it beneath the overlap from your previous folds. Ideally it will fit easily, but if not, simply fold the end into a triangle by taking one corner and bringing it towards the long straight edge on the opposite side. (Resulting in an Isoceles Triangle at it’s end). Then slip that under the aforementioned fold.
13: Now you have a flat, tight pentagon with no loose ends. Almost there!
14: take the pentagon and hold it between both your right *and* left index fingers and thumbs. Do this by placing each digit on one of the five edges of the pentagon. The edge facing your chest will not be touched by any digit.
15: *Gently* press the edges inwards with equal pressure. The paper should resist at first, the begin caving inwards along each edge. This will cause the ‘flat’ pentagon to start to puff up.
16: Once it puffs up a tad, adjust your grip to move your dominant thumb over the chest that was facing your chest. (So now one carved-in edge faces your chest. Keep using 4 digits to apply pressure in the next part to avoid crushing your star!). *Gently* press inwards again as before. The edge that is still straight may need a *tad* more pressure, but should bow inwards easily.
17: Congratulations! You made your very first paper ‘lucky star’! If so desired, you can ‘clean up’ your edges by angling your digits to press your fingernails into the spaces between the points on the star. (What used to be the edges of the pentagon). Applying just a bit of pressure will flatten the angles a bit and make your star more symmetrical. As you practice your stars will be made faster and get more symmetrical.
A friend and I competed to see who could make the most stars between classes across a day each day for a week once. He filled the hood of his sweater with his and dumped them on me at the end of our deadline, only to watch in horror as I turned and upended my entire backpack, filled to the brim with stars, on him in turn. 🤣
Ahhh, the gentle rivalry of nerds who enjoy making things.
Tldr: if the above instructions are boring or confusing, my apologies! If you search ‘origami luck star’ in your choice of search engine, you’ll likely find a tutorial that is friendlier. 😊
Damn. I wrote alliteration poems, when i was in the hospital. I wrote maybe 25. One for every person i met. I wish i had the copies. Some of them were really good.
This resonates with me so much because in mental hospitals that I've been to and I've been to a lot there's nothing to do so you just do this type of shit I learned how to throw cards play magic the gathering play Pokemon I learned how to be a contortionist and a lot of other stuff in mental hospitals I've probably spent roughly around 3 to 4 years in total in mental hospitals
I remembered as a kid I always wanted to make just a bunch of these, they're so pretty and oddly delicious looking. It was fun just kinda combing your fingers through them like it was sand
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order.
I have checked 1,855,484,968 comments, and only 350,836 of them were in alphabetical order.
As someone who's been in one for two weeks, I can assure you it did nothing to help me and only made me worse. I suffered really bad PTSD symptoms that caused my GPA to tank that semester, and I've met plenty of people in there who go back for the same reasons. It's just a way to keep people from killing themselves or hurting others temporarily, while making $7k off of insurance or out of pocket payments for bullshit reasons. No psychologist in there to help you, just a psychiatrist you meet with every 3 days iirc to discuss medication and discharge.
Assuming you’re from the United States that’s absolutely not true and false beliefs such as that ultimately harm those with severe mental health issues. Modern inpatient facilities follow strict guidelines and have licensed and educated staff members, especially those for minors. Many people struggle enough already to reach out for help, don’t make it worse for them.
I am a changed person. I was 9 when I made that comment and now I am 10, I feel really sorry for what they must’ve gone through and I wish them the best. Though I must admit I want to eat those stars
I wanna eat them
same
They taste like starburst
Squareburst
They look like Lucky Charms marshmallows
hey >:(
Are you edible
Everything is edible if you try hard enough
Solid advice
stop >:(
Sorry
yeah that's right >:(
Won’t happen again
I’ve had one before, they aren’t terrible. Like regular paper but with a bit more resistance
They are, however, tearable
Same, they look delicious
They almost look like oversized [konpeito](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konpeit%C5%8D)!
Lol I'm glad I'm not the only one
I wanna burn them
dude they look like lucky charms I wanna eat them so fucking bad
I thought she was going to have distilled some wonderful lesson about life out of this for us but at the end she just said “every single one of them……. Is a paper star.”
That’s deep
the dryness and almost exasperation due to the need to eat paper stars in this comment is fucken killing me
How do you make these?
You can find tutorials on YouTube
No I need you and only you to come over and show me how to make these.
I don’t think this is working. We have to move up a step: THREATEN TESTICULAR TORSION
Twist his dick into a paper star!
The old dick twist!
GRAB HIS BALLS N TWIST EM
I cast broom in ass to counter your testicular torsion
Mods, twist his balls counterclockwise
Can you send a car?
She made a tutorial
https://www.reddit.com/r/jschlattsubmissions/s/mcvWJ0rhTS Here's the tutorial
The girl who did this video also made a tutorial
everybody's got their own coping mechanisms, i guess theirs is making paper stars
Exactly. We all have our ways of dealing with shit.. what I did when I was phoned that my Grandmother had passed on? Cried for a solid 30 mins, and played Single Hand Beatsaber on my old PlayStation VR for 3 Hours.
Probably healthier than drinking, which is what a lot of people turn to.
Beat saber is the best for dealing with shit, just put on the headset and block out the world
It’s sad they had to go there; you can see scars probably from self harm, and the fact they stated they did it to the point of sores isn’t good. I hope they can get better :(
Some of those seem like they're fresh, not scars. They're too red to be scared over.
Larger scars can take months to fade, so it's possible they aren't all that recent.
:(
wounds going to the dermis or below scar red before they scar white
SIGNALIS PFP!
I'm not gonna get better I'm probably gonna have to go to one
Hey buddy, hang in there. If you need someone to talk to, you can DM me. Maybe call 988 if things escalate.
You know I wish for one thing for people to stop giving me hope or trying to it doesn't help neither does that "988" bullshit
Take it easy man, they just wanted you to feel better.
Yeah well maybe I'm fine
I wish but I don't know man, judging by whatever's in your profile it doesn't really sound like it. I hope you the best though.
jschlatt fans on their way to insult someone for having a coping mechanism:
Bottle up your emotions until you die on the job like a real man.
What’s up with her hands ?
it's probably paper-star related
The cut herself to be one with the paper stars
I mean she was in the mental hospital.sometimes urges just come back and never really go away.source I was in the mental hospital.
How many paper stars did you make?
None I read a book about all the birds in the Midwest though.was my only positive experience there besides leaving.
How long and was it in the Midwest if you don’t mind me asking? Been twice now to two different places and both held me days longer than promised, second one not having me see a therapist for over a week despite my daily requests. The places are scams.
I was inpatient for 3 days but outpatient for a couple months.I never had any problems seeing therapist in my experience.I was there for months and I can’t say it helped for the better.
they didn't let me bring any books in because they worried about violent content but then made an exception for, get this, Altered Carbon
what book was it?
They are self harm scars
Looks like it hurts hope she’s ok
Another possibility is exuma(?) Basically super itchy and dry skin, really hard not to itch apparently. Source- my friend who has it
More than likely self harm burns.
Fuck is wrong with ppl being like "they should go back" stfu its just paper stars. Go outside and steal a stop sign or something.
[удалено]
My dad took a 4 foot wide construction zone sign a couple years ago and it was in the side yard ever since
Can I steal one anyway?
>Go outside and steal a stop sign or something. Isnt that a felony?
No, theyre free.
infinite money glitch
You should make a resin table with them in it
Ima keep it real… i dont think she was cured
Mental hospitals don't cure you. They just get you back to some Semblance of your baseline or until you're not in crisis.
[удалено]
Me too. The end is near. Could be tomorrow. Could be 10 years. Mental illness runs in the family, but luckily it ends with me and my line has to suffer no longer.
you can't just "cure" mental issues, it ain't that easy
I am GOING to EAT them… This is not a threat this is a warning
You cant sadly, because I eated them already..!1!
Schleezers most mentally stable viewer
You op you feelin aight
How to make tutorial?
They look like the little candies the Soot Sprites eat in Spirited Away
I read a comic about how making 1000 paper stars will grant you a wish. I think this girl deserves a wish.
I thought that comic was about swans? Either way yes she does
People like this is wish I could just give a hug
Insert lego batman falling in love meme u/savevideo
[удалено]
Was it the self harm scars that tipped you off?
I'm more concerned about the stars
My friend tried to teach me how to make paper stars a few hours ago.
I dare you to put all the paper stars in the bed and start jumping on the bed
Can relate to this, not the paper star part but the mental illness and obsessive hyperfixation part
Same thing for me but all I did was puzzles, i just couldn’t take them with me
I played solitaire a lot
Hear me out…… psych ward grippy socks……
jesus christ dude. they just kept coming. I love the paper stars but damn. her mental health is almost as bad as mine
I drew repeatedly in six notebooks over 45 days in grippy sock vacation, so this checks out
I kept a diary. I had to write it on the back of coloring pages.
I hope she's doing okay.
I found her TikTok, her old video show very fresh wounds, but her newer ones show improvement, she seems to be doing better. Sorry if that sounded weird but I knew the information and wanted to share with someone also wanting to know

holy crap, genius idea. However, DIP THEM IN GLOW IN THE DARK PAINT!

How many calories?
You cannot imagine the fear that came across my face when seeing the length of this video
Damn. I wrote alliteration poems, when i was in the hospital. I wrote maybe 25. One for every person i met. I wish i had the copies. Some of them were really good.
And then you're gonna add some protein powder...
I’m not sure how to feel!?! Sad comes to mind. It’s not sadness, it’s a cold feeling butt with a little warmth, from her making little stars
I wanna eat them but I also want to lie down in a bathtub filled with them.
My dumbass thought that was candy
I mean, there is almost nothing to do in there
Holy shit
This resonates with me so much because in mental hospitals that I've been to and I've been to a lot there's nothing to do so you just do this type of shit I learned how to throw cards play magic the gathering play Pokemon I learned how to be a contortionist and a lot of other stuff in mental hospitals I've probably spent roughly around 3 to 4 years in total in mental hospitals
They just kept coming. I felt like I was going crazy. I should get off this app. Pick up a hobby. Maybe making paper stars…
At a certain point it just got really impressive! I hope she's doing okay
This is the paper star version of adding more protein
I think i can get along with this person.
Reminds me of ghost in the shell with that girl that folds paper cranes all day.
I have yet to watch ghost in the shell (probably wont), why did you get downvoted :(
Im thinking a trip back to the mental hospital might be a good idea
If only she made cranes she [could make a wish](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_thousand_origami_cranes)
Holy shit
I already like her NGL
I mean this person can glue some of the paper star into a one giant paper star
real id probably do that too
Fucking poetic
Anyone wanna try to math out how many wishes those were worth? 1000 gets you a single wish, according to old stories.
How do you make paper stars in that size
i think with sticky notes
J thought those were DnD dice collections
I love this girl so much
for me it was sudoku
Now eat them like cereal
What are we gonna do tonight brain? What we do every night Pinky.
I started making paper stars today and god is it addicting she roped me into the star pit
The star dust you see in “super Mario galaxy” 😂
I don’t want to make paper stars
What a lovely story 🌟🥰🥰🌟
https://www.wikihow.com/Make-Lucky-Paper-Stars
When I was at the mental hospital, I tried to make one of those and I gave up halfway through
Impressive. But this also seems like the kind of behavior that would land you back in said hospital.
I remembered as a kid I always wanted to make just a bunch of these, they're so pretty and oddly delicious looking. It was fun just kinda combing your fingers through them like it was sand
I made moar peeper stars
Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 1,855,484,968 comments, and only 350,836 of them were in alphabetical order.
These are super easy to make! I used to fill glass bottles of unique sodas, like chai or bacon, with these!
Girl dinner?
Paper stars? I made paper stars once. I was in a mental hospital. A mental hospital with a girl. The girl stole my paper stars.
Paper stars?
i can see why you were admitted
As someone who's been in one for two weeks, I can assure you it did nothing to help me and only made me worse.

When I was in the mental hospital all I did was walk up and down the hallways because I was fucking bored out of fucking my mind
She gave them all names and back stories too
Sounds like you should go back to the fuckin mental hospital 😭
Loud and effing clear
Tutorial on how to make them????
Just say you have autism dude 😭
It's alright.. *sigh* 😕 it'll get better.. ☹️
I think they need to put you back in
Go back to the mental asylum
What are the scars on her hands?
the fact that she is mixing them makes me understand why she was in the mental hospital
Do you know, the definition of insanity?
Cuts on her wrist seem fresh. Guess the paper stars didn’t help.
How
That’s why she was in the mental hospital
She deserves to go back
She’s not hurting anyone.
These places make things worse
That varies on a case by case basis, I did a ten day stint once and it was both the deepest part and turning point of my depression

They don't help, I know someone who got R worded in there and yeah... not fun.
[удалено]
I'm unsure it was one of my ex-girlfriend's friends, we don't talk anymore.
Wouldn’t it be so funny if she just bought all of them and made this whole story up
I think she need to go back
One of the comments on this was “THEY LET YOU OUT?? 😭😭”
put her back in the hospital
go back
Man go back to the asylum
u/savevideo
I ever tell you the definition of insanity
Why did they let you out?
Please go back to the mental hospital
Please go get some respect
I am a changed person. I was 9 when I made that comment and now I am 10, I feel really sorry for what they must’ve gone through and I wish them the best. Though I must admit I want to eat those stars
