Drawing on yourself could be as simple as drawing red lines on the area where you’re tempted to self-harm. This way you can still see a red mark where you would have otherwise self-harmed.
Or you could get more creative and actually draw and doodle all over yourself as a distraction, to keep your hands and mind busy instead of self-harming.
There are even a couple of cool projects around drawing on yourself. Check out Project Semi Colon & The Butterfly Project.
If you’re drawing on yourself, make sure you use non-toxic pens.
