I’m almost a year clear and reflecting on my struggles with self harm and I just feel embarrassed. I’ve been self harming since I was thirteen and looking back on it, it all seemed pointless. i don’t know why I did this to myself and whenever I look at my arm it’s like a constant reminder that I am ill. I’m medicated, and I just feel more clear minded than I did when I was younger. I regret it so bad. I’m planning to get a sleeve tattoo this month, but I don’t know if it’ll do me any justice because of how my scars are.

I just feel so weird now because I don’t think I’ll ever relapse and be as deep into my addiction as I was in my teenage years.
