I recently relapsed and it seems like no matter what I do self harm related its never enough. I look at my cuts and think "I deserve more." Which obviously yields to more self injury but even now that I'm practically running out of room on my body I still feel the need to do more because I'm a piece of trash.
how do I get it through my thick skull that this is only causing more problems? |
