I'm having so much trouble leaving myself alone.

I haven't touched. But it's still not closed. I just want it to heal. But heal right. Not like a harden ball because of the scar tissue built up. That's why I cut away the last time. And it feels less lifted. But I don't want to keep going through this. It's been over a year and a half with the same open wound.

Have you tried taking up knitting? My grandmother used to get terribly anxious when she was young, and would pick, and scratch, and tear up papers and clothes to try and ease that anxiety. She eventually started crochet and knitting, and it helped her immensely.

I hope youre doing good otherwise, and know that you are loved 💗

@Moosepantspatty I did it before. I don't like it haha. I remember my mother taught me and we did some when I was little. She would show me a cool metaphor trick like hook the hoop around the mountains and into the cave. Lol

@ScarletWitch hmm, maybe a tech-deck? Something to keep your hands busy will be good for you.
