I’m sorry I haven’t been active.

I just… have been feeling it.

I’m sorry if takes a while before I start posting again.

I’m sorry I haven’t posted any for while.

My ask

Glitter Jars

Making a glitter jar. You will need:

• 1 jar or bottle (with lid/cap)
• 1/10 vegetable oil
• 9/10 water
• lots of glitter
• food coloring

Add the water and vegetable oil together. Add a few drops of food coloring and all of the glitter. Put the lid/cap on (tight!) and shake it.

When you want to harm or feel stressed, shake the glitter jar and watch until the glitter is settled. It’ll calm you and hopefully the emotion will pass.

It could be self harm or related to it.

I know there are disorders for hair pulling and skin picking, but I’m not a professional, so I can’t say that it could be something along this line.

It could be something like a habit. I pick my scabs too, but I have been doing it for as long as I can remember so I personally don’t count it to be self harm.

Really, I think it has to do with what you’re thinking about when doing it. And I would give examples but everyone has different thoughts. 

The main reason it was closed was because people were fighting.

I tried making new rules and blocking the instigator, but the rules weren’t followed and they got around the block. So, I closed the chat by putting a password (that only I know) on it.

I had other worries about the chat room that added to my decision.

I’m sorry that I closed it. I know many people liked it and found it to be helpful, but I will not be re-opening it anytime soon.

I kind of just want to say I don’t know anything about eating disorders.

I don’t have one and no one I know personally has had one, so I never went out of my way to learn more about them.

And I’ve been getting a lot of messages about EDs and I just want to say that I’m not answering them because I don’t know.
