sometimes, i suffer from a very intensive urge to do something with my hands, to the point that nothing can stop me from taking literally any sharp object.

today, however, i found a solution how to not hurt yourself, mainly for folks who cant fully distract themselves, or only beginning to heal

step 1. always keep a pen with you. like, any simple pen, classic blue, black gel pens, purple glitter, this is your choice only.

step 2. if you notice that this urge is coming or already here, find said pen.

step 3. start drawing on a place you had the urge to harm. scribble, doodle, draw stars or silly guys or your fave characters, abstract lines, write something thats on your mind if you need, etc.

yes, the doodles will look wonky, messy, and fucked up, but they will be your piece of art. the genuine piece of art that you created. your choice to create something truly yours instead of destroying yourself.

step 4. when feeling like you're done and/or the urge went away, either wipe it off, wash it off, or just leave it be. as difficult as it might be to wash it off in one sitting, the doodles are not permanent(unless you want them to be, by maybe making a tattoo)

𝐌𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐛, if you’ve found yourself here, know that you are not alone. 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢 is here to help you, with soft words and gentle care. Let’s go over some ways to cover up those marks (not because you should be ashamed, but because sometimes, the world doesn’t understand)
