It's good that you have found another way to get by beside harming! And the design you have come up with is really pretty! If I had any talent, I might try a similar design! I applaud your bravery for overcoming harm!
That's beautiful. I have a friend who was anorexic and suicidal and music is what keeps her moving. Everyone has their own way. I write all my negative thoughts down.
I have the same problems, and I draw, read, listen to music, and that's abbout it... oh and i go on FS. Everyone should stay strong. :) nobody should have the power to hurt you, especially yourself. (Coming from someone who is 2 months self harm free!
(In no way I find self harm funny, in fact it's very serious amd nobody should do it so nobody get offended when I say this)
I distract myself by doing it to other people ʘ‿ʘ
I'm not trying to be disrespectful but marker can hurt you too, it goes into your skin and can cause skin cancer, but that is a really beautiful design maybe you should draw on paper instead
Well, fuck that. Self harm is a huge issue, which obviously affects some of us on here. Don't say something like that, because you can be sure plenty of people with downvots you. Self harm is serious, don't fuck around.
Some people do it for attention, some people do it to help. For instance, if there is a girl with "cuts" on her arms and she's wearing a tank top, that's attention seeking. If a girl cuts on her thighs and doesn't ever wear shorts and doesn't tell anyone, that's to try and relieve pain. Trust me. Have you ever self harmed?
Also there's the girls who use makeup to cover the ones on the arms from trying to commit suicide or very harmful self harm. (Personal experience on that, haven't done it since last year but I admit I have my moments when I really want the blade. It's just remembering the ones you love and love you back that keeps me from stopping sometimes. )
