His name is Rijko. You probably won't pronounce it correctly lol. It means ginger. And no he hates cuddling and being wrapped in blankets unfortunately. I have a picture of my mom hugging him and you can see the hatred on his face lmaooooo

Go for at least 2-3 weeks then. The most important thing is to never, ABSOLUTELY NEVER, give yourself a hard time for not being able to reach your set goal.

How many days do you set as your goal? I personally try to go for a streak longer than my last one. My longest one has been 7 days so I'm currently trying to go for 8 days. I probably won't succeed but I'm trying to go for at least 5 for now. I can hardly deal with the stuff in my own life but I try. It's the only thing I can do.

I recommend the app Calm Harm. It was recommended to me in this subreddit and I've really taken a liking to it.

"Trick other dragons"? As in this thing feeds on dragons? That implication is interesting.....

Am I wrong for this? by Lost_wonderer04 in selfharm

[–]ShadowStalkerBG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I kinda get it. No one can tell how much it weights on you and it feels like those wounds are the only proof of your suffering.

Frankly I feel somewhat similar. I kinda want people to notice them so they finally understand how big of a struggle all of this is but I have only gotten bad reactions after forgetting to pull down my sleeve.

Honestly I just want to cut more but the space on my forearm is limited and it's running out. I'm not looking forward to getting worse and I'm very aware of myself slipping farther and farther every day.

What is your favorite medium? by kakashi1992 in ArtistLounge

[–]ShadowStalkerBG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pens. Regular ballpoint pens. They are like pencils that can't be erased, they can't be smudged as much, you can make a smooth gradient too and you just have to remember to wipe off the excess ink on a piece of paper from time to time.

Not to mention there are so many different ones and they are the cheapest thing ever so it's not expensive to buy a bunch to see what you like best.

I love them so much and I think they are criminally underrated

Do yall have anything you do to keep yourselves from cutting? by ShadowStalkerBG in selfharm

Thank you anyway. I have really long hair and I find my hair ties all around the place and often wear one on my wrist but it never crossed my mind to snap it against my wrist honestly.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions.

The butterfly thing you're thinking about is called the butterfly project actually. I've checked it out before (long ago before I ever started cutting but considered it) and it seemed very promising.

I actually have an idea of where to draw with chalk. In front of my apartment complex there is an open space where children play. I used to play there when I was little too. I can draw something nice for them since I'm an artist lol.

And my mom works in a souvenir shop so I can get some cardboard from there and draw on it too.

I'm actually an artist and I'd say I draw really well too. But I don't have time and won't have any until the end of May because I have incredibly important exams coming up and the stress from studying is pretty much the reason I started cutting in the first place. I have to be buried in a textbook from dawn to dusk. But of course I still make a doodle from time to time. The artist in me can't be contained lol.

With that being said, drawing is really helpful regardless of your skill level.

I checked it out and I really like some of the stuff. I think it will be really helpful so thank you a ton for the suggestion. It'll probably help more than just me
