I feel like my scars are too faded to count as actual SH. I know it sucks to even think of it like that, but I feel like my struggles are never justified. I’m too scared to cut deep. Because of that, my scars fade really quickly, and it feels like none of my trauma is truly shown. Does anyone else feel like this? :(
I’ve always had big dreams growing up. I wanted to attend big name schools and make a name for myself in the world. I considered myself to be on track for it too. However, due to depression and addiction I fell into a slump. I had so much passion, just for it to all come crashing down.
I eventually started SH because I thought it would help me with my stress. Oh how incredibly wrong I was. I wish I never started it, now it’s the only thing I think of whenever I’m stressed. I used to bottle up my feelings, and now they’re starting to pour out, physically as scars.
