wow..
TW a bit graphic
It occurred to me that what im doing is literally abusing myself. I burned with an eraser recently and it really really hurts. More than any of the times I've cut. I almost constantly have had one or more healing wounds for 6 months. Obviously this isnt something that should be happening. I want to let go.
Hey @pinkiepie1724, I'm really glad you were able to share today💜 It can be incredibly difficult to realise that the things you've been doing to yourself are actually hurting you in ways that you did not anticipate.
It sounds like the burn has had a different type of pain, one that potentially lingers and can make things feel more raw than initially expected. It sounds like you've been carrying this for a number of months, and it makes sense that you are tired of it and are wanting something different.
It sounds like you are at a point where you don't want this cycle anymore, even if you are unsure of what happens next, which shows a lot of dedication.
You're not alone in this, and you're not wrong for feeling the way you do. If you want to talk more about how this is all making you feel, or what letting go feels like for you, we are here to listen.
Sending you virtual hugs!

Emma
