Please do not feel heartbroken when you read this sentence: sometimes immense physical pain allows you a rest from the mental kind. This is why things like self harm is such a common coping method among those in survival mode. None of these issues should be scary to bring up, the alternative and not talking about it is a lot scarier. It’s also important to be vulnerable, and authentic with people. “Self harming” is not a place that I am in presently, or recently. But I won’t say no to the sting of a new tattoo, or these severe period pains to turn my mind off a very mentally draining afternoon.
