Cans can be used for self harm.

So can plastic bottles. Plastic can be sharp and stuff too

You can also eat pillow filling until you die, at some point you have to accept reality.

In a mental hospital, I'm sure they just have to be seen to be doing their best. Cans can have very sharp edges, so it's much easier to do damage with those, and perhaps wise to remove then as opposed to other more blunt objects.

You’d be amazed at the amount of things you can hurt yourself with if you put your mind to it. Won’t go into stories, but I’ve had psych nurses ask me how in the hell I did that.

There’s only one thing I could never figure out - at one place, they wouldn’t let me have cheap flip flops for showering. Of course they didn’t answer when I asked what I could possibly do with them lol

Fortunately at a much better place now!

I remember some kid who hurt himself with a pencil, my school back then had like these pencils that you could lend if you didn't have one and they were really sharp because that teacher liked it to be organised or some shit. He stabbed himself in the hand saying some shit like he has super strong skin. Spoiler alert: he didnt.

I was in the psych ward and they had to cut the metal nose piece out of our masks because one girl (who I met) had previously used one to cut herself. Fucken EVERYTHING is a potential weapon.
