Luckily at work I can't do anything, well I could on site but I'd be wearing that much ppe and bubble wrap it would be hard to.

Soon as I get home I think the same!

Been first aid trained, so I'm doing it safely.. just wish I didn't resort to it.

If you think things can't get worse it's probably only because you lack sufficient imagination.

Is that because you felt happier over Christmas and New Year doublep?

Unfortunately no, I've got a full sleeve tattoo to do, so told myself to stop

I see. Is there some sort of other motivational gain that you can believe in to help you to stop?

Not sure to be honest.
Xmas was a weird time for me, because my mum and uncle know about it.
everyone has just accepted it, so if I feel the need to do it, I will

Do you believe that if they were horrified by it you would not do it so much/at all?

To be honest, I don't think anything anyone says would stop me

What I need to do, is elsewhere. So my arm can fully heal, and get my tattoo to cover it

just make  sure your careful where ever you decide to do it and consider body movement into the healing of any of those areas

anywhere fleshy or muscly. that way it keeps something between cuts and veins / arteries.   where ever you decide to do it, you need to learn about that area of your body, well i do that because im need to know everything, just play safe my friend, i dont really want to talk about at too much at the moment after what ive been doing to my self recently.

I struggle for many years with self harming as it was the only way I knew how to release emotional pain/  Things that helped me to stop were throwing darts at a dart board, smashing crockery that I was going to get rid off anyway and chuckingpillows or cushions.
