Self-harm is a real thing, and it is a serious one, too. I would say that my self-harm scars are the most serious. You can go through an almost routine cycle of self-harm, like I did, and the scars will start to take over, and they will be deep and full of pain.
It’s not uncommon to go through a pattern of self-harm, but the “repetition cycle” can go on for years. I could go on about how I’ve suffered from the “fear of needles” for a long time, and how I’ve experienced a lot of pain, but the scars are an indication of how I’ve been dealing with my self-harm.
The scars are caused by a very real fear of needles. Many people (myself included) are afraid of being injected with any kind of medicine, including those for HIV/AIDS. I know this because I have been a patient of doctors, and have had to come to the hospital for shots. I can attest that needles are less painful than I once thought, but I do still get injections and I have always been afraid of them.
My dad’s face, or my mother’s face, or the face of my father’s brother, or the face of a friend or loved one, or the face of the person I was in a car with, or the face of my own reflection in a mirror, or the face of my best friend, or the face of my worst enemy, or the face of the person I once was, or the face of my own reflection in a mirror.
It’s the face of my own face.
Self harm is the act of trying to harm your own body by cutting, burning, cutting, burning, or cutting. It is also the act of trying to harm your body by other means such as, but not limited to, self inflicted and self inflicted (aka self inflicted self harm).
The internet is full of stories of people who’ve cut themselves as a result of self harm. And I don’t just mean the ones that go viral. I know a self-hater from a self-hater who is also a self-hater who is also a self-hater. I don’t know how that works, but it happens.
Self harm has been known to set someone back for decades. In recent years self harm is being seen as an increasingly common form of assault. Self harm is a criminal offense in more than half of all countries. And if that doesnt get you, then I guess I’ll leave you to your self-haters.
Self-harm is not only seen as a crime, it is often an offense. A man can plead self-harm as an excuse for another crime, like assault. When something you did causes you a lot of pain, and you feel ashamed for it, then you realize that whatever it was that caused that pain may not have been your fault. In that moment you realize that you are not the person you thought you were. And this makes you a different person.
Self-harm is the most difficult thing to deal with in the real world. There are a lot of people who have done it, and for some it has become a career. But for many who have never committed a crime, self harm is considered an act of selfishness and a way to cope with pain. Self-harm is not a crime. Yet, it still can be.
