Cutting v. 2

^ ahem. I would say that you are not going to lose your kids because you have been known to cut. They would need a hell of a lot more then that to prove your unfit. I am a great mother to my three daughters, and have battled with the urge of cutting for more then I can remember.
 
I did a drawing that was related to cutting last night in pencil. But I think I might get in trouble if I posted it on TDS.
 
wow, nice drawing, good lines, the hands are some of the most difficult things to draw on a human, you captured them and 'it' well.

but it does indeed fall under what id consider a trigger, take it as a compliment.
 
I would rather you express this in drawing and not in action. Whatever helps is ok in my book as long as it isn't hurting you or anyone else.


I like it. You captured it well.
 
i think thats beautiful, pillthrill!
id like to keep it up - if anyone feels triggered let us mods know and one of us will edit it out
but im really glad it helped u get thru it a bit therapeutically!
 
thats ok - we had to make a decision over whether to edit it out or not
its one that wasnt easy to make as it is a gd picture
maybe u shud draw some more (not about cutting) pics and post them in the photo thread - im sure lots of ppl wud appreciate ur art!
 
I had a feeling that if I posted it that would happen.
I have taken up taking and going over photos I've taken...thats something at least. I have drawnings, most very dark, that I did in the past but they aren't anything special. I'm just not feelin writing or drawing lately.
 
Damn I missed th edrawing, I wanted to see it! Could u maybe PM it to me??
And I was thinking maybe the comment 'what are gonna tell your kids about that' hurt because his tone was derisive, berating you for doing it in the first place.. ?
 
you have a need to express your self Pillthrill.
you have a terrible need to express your self by
mutilating your body.
you have passion, and a need to care for others
from what ive gathered.

you need to take care of your self now, its been said
many times lately.

you have an artistic ability, which you find as a self expressing
outlet. one that will impact your self, and others in many
positive ways. your photographs seem to even portray the way you feel
and see life, but there is beauty in it too, and that makes it real art.

death, and the dark side of life is just as common as happiness, and the light side, why should both not be appreciated, or respected as life, with contentment with that, youll have contentment with your self.

i say that, but i have been in hell the past 2-3 months, and its easier said then done, but when i didnt want to see anything, i still saw beauty, it was still there, and will always be.
 
In a non-judgemental, kind, understanding way, validating their pain and/or inaility to currently cope in a healthy constructive way.
