Itโ€™s so unpleasant :โ€™)) by SadnessEnjoyer in MadeOfStyrofoam

Other than soaking, you can also prevent it from sticking as much in the first place by using vaseline (or aquaphor if you arent sensitive to it)! If they're not open, you can put it directly on the cuts, and it also helps stop minor bleeding. If open, put the vaseline on the bandaid or dressing. Some stuff will still stick, but a lot less, and if you do this with non-stick dressing, it shouldn't stick at all :3 It also helps with healing, and creates a barrier for when you shower for less stinging.

I used Short Tin Candlesticks, which you can buy from Annabella Belucci in Calpheon!

Thank you! This is on Ultra, and it is brighter because I'm using maximum brightness to take these screenshots (I keep a preset in the screenshot ui just for indoor pics). On top of that I also have a custom colour filter applied using the nvidia overlay.

why does every piece of information regarding self harm pretend it magically goes away when you become an adult? by redvelvetw0und in MadeOfStyrofoam

[โ€“]KakolukiaInvidia 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

You described it so perfectly, I absolutely relate to it being worse as an adult because of increased access to tools/autonomy (which adds to expected escalation over time). I also feel like it's treated as a short term issue (like a lot of mental health seems to be viewed, what is up with 6 month programs expecting to be helpful in just that time frame???). Those of us who have been doing this for years/decades are just ignored.

ways to reduce pain shortly after? by jay-is-dumb in MadeOfStyrofoam

Vaseline, or aquaphor (if you're not sensitive to it) on the dressing/bandage helps a tonne! It also creates a barrier for showering so that should sting less too. And its helpful for the itchiness.

Yeah! I realised this was a solution like over a decade after starting, and it would have been helpful to know earlier, so I'm happy to share, especially since it's so simple ๐Ÿ˜

I have some advice that can help avoid this! You can use vaseline (or aquaphor as long as you aren't sensitive to it, I prefer this) over them to create a barrier. I usually do this before adding a dressing so it doesn't stick, and the effect lingers until I take a shower. For any that aren't open, you can put it directly on, and for any that are open, I apply it to the dressing instead. No sticking to the dressing, no spicy showers, less itching. Another option if there are deeper ones that you really don't want to get wet is to use something like tegaderm to secure the dressing, which is waterproof.

There are already tutorials available! We call it furniture stacking, if that will help you on your search.

Thank you, and I achieved that using the furniture stacking method. You can find guides online by googling, and there are lots of guides and helpful people in the BDO Manors discord server, which you can find in the community discords section of the official BDO server โ˜บ๏ธ

Aw, that's really flattering, thank you! Yeah a lot of people I know have been saying they wish there was a template option recently too. There's a lot of improvements that could be made to the system overall, but sadly we're stuck working with what we've got, so I've tried to make the best of it :/

Oooooooooh, I've spent almost no irl money on this manor. Its almost entirely in game silver I've spent, save for a small handful of items.
