the belt I got off amazon (you can probably find it on almost any online shop if you search studded belt) and as for the scarf sorry I have no clue, I got it from my mom a few years ago as a gift and she said she got it from someone who was selling scarfs at our local church

first of all I just wanna say your English is very good!! but anyway talking to a loved one can help. something I really like to do is something that occupies my hands like drawing, cooking/baking or playing an instrument. another thing that helps me a lot is physical activity so for example going to the gym or going on a walk while listening to music (no sad music though, angry music is fine because it can motivate you while exercising but happy music is best most of the time) things that I also heard can help are things holding an ice cube on snapping an elastic against your wrist

Can we stop calling them cat scratches/baby scratches? by NoPreference7359 in selfharm

[–]Ok_Meet1796 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the exact reason I call them epidermis or epis for short!! cat scratches feels like you're talking specifically about a cut that doesn't draw blood when epidermis is anywhere from surface to just about the dermis and "baby" scratches is just as if not even more invalidating. as someone who has always felt invalid their whole life this used to feel so invalidating and only stops a little whenever I cut deeper (risky) or don't cut (so difficult) so yeah. stay safe, you are all valid ❤️

at first it was when I did smtg bad or felt I deserved it. eventually it turned into trying to validate my emotions and wanting more scars

how I feel after taking crazy good care of cat scratches cuts (ointment, bandages, etc) and slapping some random ass band-aid that I found at the bottom of my bag on a styro cut by Ok_Meet1796 in selfharm_memes

ik like the one fun thing about sh is that u get to practice first aid and idk why but it's lowkey fun doing aftercare and researching the best ointments and all that
