370 QA Reputation0 | RiverSong said 10 years, 6 months ago: Instead of harming myself, I would draw (doodle really) a very detailed something wherever I was planning on doing the harm. As a perfectionist, I put great time and effort into the doodle, so by the time it was done I did not want to see any harm come to my work. I also would have my best friend write “Love” all over my arms. I would never want to damage her writing on my skin. it kept me from harming more times than I can count. | |
