I only used the marker once, but when I did it was kinda helpful I guess 'cause I didn't cut...

I have tried the red marker and it was pretty to look at but I did not have the physical sensations that I get from SI
Somewhat Helpful
It works sometimes.

It gave me a release as if I was cutting myself but not as goog and therfore I gave it up after a while.

Sometimes very helpful, others very triggering.

I was using this method at home and during school, but I soon had to stop because I would be put in ISS because it's illigeal to write on yourself in school.
My parents told on me to my counsler and then they sent me to a mentel ward...

That worked for awhile when i more wanted to see the blood then feel the cut.
Somewhat Helpful
it did...but i kind of felt silly after

it helps sometimes, its a good visual tool, but then other times i will cave completely.
Somewhat Helpful
Helps in the sense it's almost like blood. It's something I use to remind myself that to cut on the spur of the moment means I can't change my mind once it's done. I'm stuck with the scars. Whenever i've resisted cutting and used a marker I'm always so relieved I can wash it off when i'm feeling a bit better. It's something I use before I cut, but often I end up caving.
