I think I need inpatient sometimes
So my parents know I sh, they took most of my tools. But seeing the area clean after so long feels weird. The main reason I would do it was to bring something physical to my mental struggles, I don't really know how to say it. My main question is does anybody else feel like this when they are clean? Like I really want to do it again just to see it, I feel like that isn't normal even among sh-ers.
@UndertaleEnjoyerAndy hey andy! that makes perfect sense, actually. i've been.. somewhat clean for a bit, and yeah i totally get that feeling of wanting to do it just to see it. the visual part is definitely part of it for a lot of people - it's like a drawing of the pain you're going through, and without it, it can almost feel invalidating? like now, there's nothing that physically proves it, if that makes sense.
also, i know how difficult it is when parents find out. that's the worst, and i'm really sorry it happened to you :( it can be really overwhelming and stressful and can bring feelings of shame when anyone finds out. 💙
