****TW TALK OF SELF HARM!!!!****
I have been doing really good, great even. A few days ago I started thinking about my life 3 years ago and my habits at the time. I almost don’t even remember why I felt the urge to hurt myself then, and the more I was thinking about it the more curious I got. I’m not even sad these days, and the last thing I want is to do something to hurt myself. Impulsively, I made a small cut on my arm, but it’s a little deep and will take a while to heal. Not even in a discreet place like I used to, and it doesn’t look like a cut I could blame on my cats. Immediately I regretted it when I realized my parents would definitely see it since it’s way too hot for long sleeves. I can’t believe I did it. I’m considering just talking to my parents about it and explaining it just as I did here, but I’m scared to erase everything I’ve done to build up trust. I should also add that almost a month ago I stopped taking my medication, and I don’t want to have to go back on it. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how I could go about this.
