even if your physical disability was caused by something specific you did, you still don’t deserve to deal with all this pain and suffering.
weight gain, suicide attempts, self harm, self inflicted injuries in general, overworking yourself / pushing your limits, not working ergonomically / doing tasks incorrectly and many other things can make you physically disabled and even if it is your fault, you still don’t deserve it. no one does.

i saw a poll a while ago about whether you've ever self harmed, and "yes, but i quit" was sweeping . and i remembered it today and it made me really emotional cuz like 60something percent of people picked a "yes" option but most who did were able to quit. idk i've been on this website for almost a decade i remember when it was the black-and-white depression aesthetic website to a good portion of society. and now a yes but i quit sweep... it's an honor to get older and get better with you all

The frustrating part about conversations like "should people with self-harm scars warn others before showing off their body?" and conversations like it is how nobody would tell me that my scars are obscene or should be hidden despite, literally, being self-harm scars. They just do not know because people literally do not know what self-harm scars are and what self-harm is.
Our bodies are not vulgar or gross. We deserve to live our lives, and if our scars make you uncomfortable, we can be compassionate about that, but that doesn't mean that our bodies are Bad and should be Locked Away. Treat us like we belong, because we do.

npd culture is self-harming so that i can show off the scars and let everybody know that i am the most mentally ill. not because i actually want to hurt myself or anything like that. self-harm only as a way to prove that i'm more mentally ill than everyone else.

So much love and recognition to the people who don't know how they feel about recovering. To the people whose scars are fading away, and there's a sinking feeling, despite knowing that it's a good thing. To the people who miss when they were "worse," when they felt "broken." To the people who mourn losing their coping mechanisms, even the ones that were destructive, scary, or unpleasant. To those who feel guilty they're healing because their past self wasn't ready.
Whatever it is, there is nothing wrong with any of those feelings. It's a natural reaction, something you don't have ultimate control over. There is nothing shameful about yourself, and I admire the strength it takes to recognize how you feel, even the parts that do feel like the "wrong" reaction to a Good Thing.
