I self harm and the people around me will never know. Only my demons will see my pain grow.
There are many ways to harm yourself, and each one is considered bad for your health. But people don't realize that it helps with feeling something besides the numbness or helps us cope with what we do feel. The scars may be hard to conceal. But it gets easier to hide them over the years.
With every cut, burn, scratch, broken limb, hair pulled out, or anything else, we feel something. Doesn't that count for anything? We may feel numb, alive, an escape from the pain inside, happy, relieved, that it's deserved, and so many other things. But at least we feel something. We have not died yet and this could be saving us, in fact it might be the only thing preventing us from dying.
I'll tell you something though, self harming is no joke. Someone could make a comment and you just have to pretend to agree, but it's hard when they describe a self harmer and you think "that's me".
