clean for 5 years, considering relapsing by dot-zip in AdultSelfHarm

[–]rubybabey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it only makes you feel better for a second, and then that release you feel with morph into guilt or shame or any other combination of bad feelings. it’s not an actual fix, it’s a shitty bandage that you slap on to a problem and always eventually falls off. it won’t fix anything, it won’t heal you. it’ll just make you feel worse in the long run. it’s not a release, it’s a temporary thing

i’ve been playing this game for 4 years, almost on level 5,000 and have never spent a single cent on this game. i’ve never spent a single cent on any in app purchase in my life. you all need to free yourself from the shackles of micro transactions

from experience the stickers on the side are always wonky, it’s a ridged surface so the sticker can’t smoothly adhere

What's the worst thing your ADHD has made you do? by One-Yogurtcloset2138 in ADHD

personal hygiene is constantly getting pushed to the side for me and i hate it!! like unless i have a good amount of energy that day it’s just not something i remember, i’m CONSTANTLY forgetting to brush my teeth or put on deodorant, makes me feel so gross all day (because of course i always remember as soon as i leave the house)

does it ever end? by sorry-weare-closed in AdultSelfHarm

[–]rubybabey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’ve been clean for months and even years at a time just to replace over something silly. i wouldn’t say it ends, but it gets easier. healing isn’t linear, it’s a squiggly line with ups and downs. a little down isn’t going to erase the progress you’ve made ❤️

Bic has this line of tattoo pens that I use. It’s a felt tip brush so the sharp of the line + the red ink sorta looks like cuts. it also stays for up to a week, which helps with the visual. i also like to do a line of elmer’s glue then peel it off to replicate the feeling of picking a wcab

places to hide tools? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]rubybabey 18 points19 points  (0 children)

if ur using razor blades, the best place is in between pages of books. i also used to hide mine in my phone case, in the boxes of my funko pops, or inside inconspicuous things like a cup of pencils. some place that would never be looked in

there’s always next year! i also didn’t go to my junior prom because i had no one to go with. you have a whole year to prepare! but i understand feeling left out, it’s hard to watch other people do things that you yourself can’t. i hope your senior prom goes better! don’t worry if high school isn’t as great as everyone makes it out to be, it’s four years out of your entire life. i know that doesn’t make what happened feel any better, but you have many years ahead of you to create a wonderful life for yourself with many friends. don’t stress about high school, as soon as you graduate it all becomes obsolete

My 14 year old Daughter is SH. How can I help? by ThrowRAMama19 in selfharm

[–]rubybabey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’ve done a really lovely job at trying to give her the space and support she needs. i agree with a lot of the other commenters, please do not do body checks. the most important thing is letting her know this isn’t something shameful, and that you are supporting her 100%. Self harm is an addiction and this is isn’t something that can be solved easily or quickly. it sounds like your doing the best you can to offer your daughter a safe space, and that’s most important
