that’s what cutting always was for me it was just emotional regulation. it chilled me out when i was spiraling over something small. it’s like my medication lmao
i’ve been insistent on not relapsing but i’m starting to think that cutting again to regulate my emotions is better than whatever the fuck is going on with my mental state at the moment
recently my body has felt more and more like a shell of me and although i stare into the mirror and see what i look like it does not register and it does not feel like it is me
