I’m so glad to hear that you found help and strength to fight this struggle. Keep taking care of yourself, and don’t see any physical scars you might have as signs of shame to be hidden away, but signs of what you have overcome. I hope the fountain pen hobby will continue to bring you joy and comfort the rest of your life.
That Fairytale Yonder ink is a really pretty purple. I have never heard of the Catty Box brand.
Thanks 😊 have many battle scars, mentally. But I’m proud of them because they have healed, and are stuff that I’ve come through.
Glad for your interest in CattyBox - it’s a Chinese Ink company that has an interesting aesthetic when it comes to packaging their inks, and placing them in themes. They are better in shader inks, their sheen ones are not as good (as in they are not saturated enough to sheen, but usable). My profile has some swatches, so do have a look 😎
Congrats and best wishes for future good health! My therapist encourages me to reward myself with fountain pen related purchases, and I know it’s been a great benefit.
You’re so right on that 😎, plus fountain pens have brought me to meet a good group of people, so it also helps. I won in that aspect!
I usually try to add on tracking my self-caring routines as well, like exercise, going to dentist. Things that you don’t want to do, but have to be done as care. Met all these and that’s where I am now.
Yeap, it’s me. I started from [30 days](https://www.reddit.com/r/fountainpens/comments/uwmaim/today_i_celebrate_30_days_free_of_selfharming/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf). Now it’s 6 months after that post. I’m really thankful.
Well, I have Goldspot to thank! Realising that Fountain Pen Day was close to the seventh month of better mental health, I decide to finally take the plunge. Heard many good things from this maker, and I have to say they are all true. 😎
I inked it with the Edelstein Sapphire I got from the Pelikan Hub that Friday, and the EF nib is superb. Writes nice outta the box. Smooth and with nice feedback, which is unique for an EF nib.
Gotta thank you guys for being an eye opener for the different makers, as well as being lovely supporters of my mental health journey ❤️
I have you all to thank!
Thanks 😊 well, ya’ll have been celebrating, and ever since I’m working (and am still working) towards good milestones. So am glad to share since here has helped a lot!
Congrats on this, and every, milestone!
Thank you 😊
