I don't endure when my scars heal!

[blackwhite994]

I don't know what can I do. I don't endure when my scars heal! My scars are somehow important to me. Those are mine. I thought, now I stop. I haven't self-harm for five days. I should stop but now I can't. Now I don't know what I do. When my scars fade, I feel, I lose something which are very important to me.

Who are you beneath the scars?
It can be very scary when there just feels an emptiness, I know. Is that how things are for you right now - like the scars hold you together?

I used to feel the same sort of way... for me the scars were sort of proof that all that happened was real and that it mattered, it felt like when the scars faded the past faded too and that it no longer was important.


But in reality the scars have only the meaning that we give them, in reality they have no real meaning or purpose. We exist and ,matter without them and we can give meaning to the past through memory.

Recovery is scary, like all change, but in time you can work through it

maybe it would help if you figured out who you are outside self harm.... what do you enjoy doing? what are the things that you think are good about yourself? you're a person outside of your self injury, even if you don't always feel like it.
