  • Hey Guest,

    As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

So I'm sitted in class right now and there's this girl sitting in front of me. I look closer and notice she's wearing two elastic bands. After a few minutes she starts snapping her wrist with one of the bands. And all of a sudden my breathing is heavy and I'm shaking, mind you I'm recovering from self harm. Will this ever stop or it's like everytime someone does it I'll get anxious? Will I heal? How do you get through such trigger moments? Please help I'm literally shaking and it's visible.

What would happen if you put some rubber bands on your arms and snapped them when you got triggered? Would that help?

I really don't if it would coz I'm trying to break from that habit.

That's the idea. They say it helps you break the habit because it sort of reminds you of it without actually harming yourself. You can snap rubber bands against your skin for as long as you want. (People might think you're weird but who cares.)

Anyone who ever said that recovery is easy is full of shit. It's a process; I didn't get to the point of needing recovery overnight, so recovery won't come any quicker. The suck part about it is that every and any thing can be a trigger. Plus, running from feelings isn't an option, because we've already learned that it can't be done.

Life hurts, sometimes, and in order to recover from anything, we have to walk through it and feel those hard moments. Even when it feels o.k., that's it's own process after a lifetime of eating shit sandwiches, because we've taught ourselves that we're one step away from falling into the latrine.

Okay I thought it would prevent me from breaking the habit if I continued using rubber bands but thanks
