Thank you
The last time I did it to myself, I didn’t realize what I was doing until it was done, but I knew it was coming, and that whatever it was, it was about to happen.
Adam noticed it while it was healing, showed me the below image, then ordered and surprised me with a set of non-toxic, skin-safe markers. Now I draw on myself whenever I hit a low, am beginning to or am rapid cycling, or am in some other stage of an episode.
The markers are a primary item in my bipolar emergency kit, and I haven’t hurt myself since.
Thanks for watching out for me.
The cut was still healing the first time I used the markers.
