Positive recovery post - "Distraction" Bracelets

I just thought I would share what I have been doing lately whenever I get urges to self harm... or whenever I get bored!
I've taken up making bracelets out of colored floss, like those friendship bracelets you see everywhere. They are very fun to make and keep your hands busy. Also, when I wear them I feel more confident wearing shorter sleeves (I live in southern GA; it is getting HOT). I feel they are a productive and simple way to resist urges. So if you are up for new ideas I would definitely suggest this! They also make great gifts- my mother adored the one I made for her :)
Anyway, there you go. Sorry if this is a pointless read ><



PM me anytime :)

I make bracelets too, but bead ones - 99p round abouts for 100 beads of ebay :) So I buy about £10 worth and just spent the day making bracelets :)



if you think you know me in real life, no you don't.

I used to always make those when I was younger! You've got me in the mood again :D

...My smile's just the armour I built when I was alone...

There was some part of me that hurt so badly, that I wouldn't ever be able to forget it.
It faded but the memories could bring it back any second, keeping me in the moment.
It would never fully heal. I could never really be free. I could never really be fixed.
Now I just have to work out how to live whilst being broken.
I feel like I'm dying.
