non coherent rant.
TW: relapse, SH, ED.
So I don't harm myself, like hurt my arms (not sure if I can actually say the proper words on here) but there have been times where, in my head, it felt like I did? I'm not sure on how to explain it. Idk if this makes sense at all. I kinda have thoughts about wanting to but end up not doing it which is great.
Instead of hurting my arms or wrists, I don't eat or barely eat which is a form of SH in a way because I'm hurting my body by not eating. I don't know if I have an ED but I do think it's bordering onto that (food restricting). Last year, it was the opposite. I would eat a lot of food and sometimes feel guilty but i wouldn't care because I was happy. This year, I eat small amounts and end up feeling full. Idk if it's just my body resetting? I can survive (and prefer to survive) on little bits of food/ small meals because its easy to eat. If I eat big potions, I'll feel nauseous. This rant isn't really coherent but I am trying my best to eat more.
Back on the topic of SH, I accidentally cut my finger with a knife on Saturday. I went to a knife store with my friends, they showed me a pink knife that reminder me of pinky pie from MLP and thet said: thats so you. The store worker allowed me to play with it and I accidentally cut myself on the finger while playing with it. What went through my mind in that moment was not: you're bleeding.
It was: wow, that didn't really hurt at all, so that's what being cut feels like? (If you understand what I mean). It really didn't hurt, it just stung and ever since then, I've been wanting a knife. Not really for SH but because I find knives really cool.
Idk where I was going with this, I just wanted to rant. I'm really tired and I need sleep

Love yourself, don't hurt
Dear Beloved,
There could be different reasons why you did not feel much pain, such as having a strong tolerance for pain or the cut not being very deep.
It is never wise to hurt yourself, even if it is through food. Please do more of the things that make you feel better and keep you healthy. Never be the reason for hurting yourself, either physically or emotionally.
I want you to be healthy and feel better. Please take good care of yourself and be gentle with yourself. You are a beloved soul.
Wishing you a deep and peaceful sleep.
