There is a moment in my recovery that haunts me still.
It is not the long inventory of parts ofme that I lost.
It is the realization
that I was the one to cut those parts away to survive.

A note on self harm
We who self harm, We are no different than those who seek relief from our past through alcohol or medication. Self-harm is a coping mechanism. Full stop.

Yeup, I know that feeling.
That is the 'OMG someone noticed me' feeling.
Followed by 'Don't F* it up' on endless loop.
I hate my brain.
Sometimes I really hate my brain.

We crave it.
But what we need is to embrace ourselves.
