"Our addictions don’t define who we are. It only shows what we lack ...." - Mica Trinidad

I crossed off the ones I don't do.

"Our addictions
don’t define who we are.
It only shows what we lack
and what we want to feel.
Self-harm numbs you.
Cigarettes calm you down.
Sleep makes you stop feeling.
Drugs give you a sense of happiness.
Starving makes you feel proud.
Alcohol washes your pain away.
Sex makes you feel wanted and loved.
We all have our little escapes from reality…""
Addictions, Mica Trinidad (via mica-trinidad)

"Is skin-cutting ("cutting," "self-harm") actually unusually dangerous?" @ Quora

No judgements, but if you self harm please be aware of how deep you are cutting..
Answered by Sophie Dickins, 
Credit @ Quora "It can be. Superficial wounds aren't particularly dangerous in and of themselves, especially if they are done with a disinfected razor, but there is still potential for infection as with any open wound. Plus, the cutter is likely to be hesitant to show their cuts to someone if they do become infected.

Cutting (as far as I'm aware) is more often used as a coping mechanism for anxiety/depression/stress/etc than as an enjoyable passtime. Therefore it indicates that the cutter is experiencing psychological distress, which is definitely greater cause for alarm than, say, tennis practice. Plus, unlike sports, the cuts are the purpose, rather than just an occaisional undesirable side effect.

Another cause for concern is the fact that superfical cuts can lead to deeper ones. Like anything that causes a release of endorphins or "high", you need more and more to get the desired effect as you become acclimated.

Lastly, those who cut sometimes enter what could be described as an "altered state". Some cutters report they don't feel pain while cutting, only emotional release. The pain comes later. This lack of awarenes of pain could lead to very deep cuts, which would require emergency medical attention."

ColdnessInMyHeart *GRAPHIC/TRIGGER WARNING**

As seen/heard about on ReignBotHorror's 5 Disturbing Things You Shouldn't Google [Part 6]
A girl who self harms, however, her scars are VERY deep and she has many of them.

If the Instagram account is her's it seems as though she has not recovered fully, but doesn't harm herself as deep or as often!

Use Derma Rollers on scars to help heal them.

"A dermaroller is a skin needling device with many small surgical needles. Dermarollers come in needle lengths between 0.13 and 3 mm. The needle diameter (thickness) is approximately 0.25 mm at their base."

*Note I don't know if she has BPD or not, but I'm placing in in BPD categories because people who suffer from BPD and HPD suffer from horrible, crippling depression.

Ideas including:
lemon juice on wounds
rubber band snap
ice cube/ice cold water (try taking a shower in ice cold water, and maybe turning the showerhead to the setting which is the fastest and it will hurt when hitting your skin)
