I Messed Uppp💔..

After doing good for so long I ended up cutting myself last night. I was just so angry & sad. I wanted to do whatever to hurt myself. Every time I’m upset, self harm is the first thing that comes to my mind. Therapy & other coping skills don’t work for me & I don’t know what to do. I don’t want this to be something I struggle with for the rest of my life. I have so many scars & I hate it. I just want to heal & be over this for good!!🥺❤️‍🩹

Have you considered that you cut because you have decided that any negative emotions are bad and therefore make you guilty. So you cut as a means to punish yourself for guilt that is simply the expression of emotions. You won't heal from it until you decide to let go of often false guilt.. if you think happy feelings are the only thing you should feel.

@ravenwind43 I do it because at the moment the physical pain takes my mind off of the emotional. Sometimes it’s because I feel like I deserve that harm.. I let the negative thoughts get the best of me & I just do it. I definitely feel guilty afterwards because I keep promising myself & to God that I won’t do it anymore.
