My Scar Journey...

In Janurary [image]A month ago [image]Recently[image]It's getting better. But still there. My depression has gotten better. But suicidal thoughts are still daily. But i thought it was best to stop mentioning here bc i knew it hurt so many of you. My scar is so self hatred that i want to hurt myself even more. But i have been taking higher meds. But i still feel ugly. I always see it. I always think about it. Extreme loss of motivation. Fixing my scar is what has made me become obsessive and ugly. Btw it hasnt healed. It fades. Then cracks and bleeds and its all red again. Its a slow nightmare process.

Everyone has scars to bear, just some more visible than others. I think scars are what make us human. And they make us stronger in some way too. They remind us who we are, where we come from, and perhaps some day, motivate us to move forward. I'm not going to tell you that everything is going to be fine or that you should just get through it. It takes time. Sometimes longer than the time we have here. And everyone deals and gets through things in their own way. The fact that you are still here, responding and interacting, is huge. Just stay strong, post and let it out here when you feel the need to. It helps to get it out, even if people do not understand. Just having someone listen, acknowledge and support is what we need sometimes. But the rest is up to us. We need to work through our own issues and hopefully one day see that silver lining. And for what it's worth, I think scars are beautiful if you can talk about it.
