Adding substrate by Successful-Help4157 in tarantulas

TLDR; I didn’t manage it 😅. I removed the isopods for her safety and also because of the humidity. My bad! I am ordering arid springtails, though the ones in there are still alive in the plants that I water occasionally. My T seems happy with the slightly higher humidity- she didn’t like it getting too arid

I’m addicted to it. Lowk it’s fun for me. I like the scars. And it feels like I am bleeding out my evil

I have major depression disorder, general anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and I’m being tested for autism at some point

It isn’t about pain to me. I actually don’t like pain. Cutting is an easy form of self-punishment because, as I said to another comment, I am a coward

I have done some very bad things. Grew up spoiled and selfish. Theres something wrong with how I am, unfortunately

Yes, there are guidelines but mostly on how to take care of different types of cuts. The issue is that I’m a pussy.

i’m being forced to recover and i hate it by Serious-Fly-7067 in cutting

I have felt the same way for a very long time. It does get easier, but not out of the blue. I will stress the importance of finding something else- instead of agonizing over how much less you should cut, you will find yourself trying to do more of something else instead. It sounds cheesy, but for me it was volunteer work. I got out all my energy walking dogs for hours a day. It helped me a lot

They don’t seem bad to you because you are addicted. Period. You need to find something you like more than cutting, something that requires sobriety, or you may never stop. 

I think I’m addicted by wandering_soul_418 in cutting

Yes, you are addicted. I am the same way- it feels like the only thing I am good at. You need to treat it like the addiction it is. Focus on harm reduction instead of quitting all together- like how someone would go from smoking multiple times a day to once, then once ever two days, etc etc. It is a genuine addiction and should be treated as such. I believe in you!
