I know this is hugely frowned upon and not recommended, but I pierce my body parts when I’m stressed or depressed. I’ll use an alcohol swab and stab myself with a sewing needle on my earlobes, nose, eyebrows, lips, and other body parts. I don’t usually leave the jewelry in… but sometimes I do. 

It’s weirdly therapeutic….but risky. I know I should stop but it helps me cope with BPD.
