One of the hardest parts of self harm for me is that even though I haven't cut in ages I still have urges. I hate when it happens it's like my anxiety feeds my sadness and anger and makes me think horrible triggering thoughts, I swear it's like screaming at me "BLEED OUT BITCH" "DO IT PUSSY" "IF ITS REALLY THAT BAD WHY THE FUCK AINT YOU GRABBING A KITCHEN KNIFE AND CUTTING YOURSELF?" Then it comes on real soothingly like coaxing me into a trap "if you kill yourself you won't hurt anymore honey" "I know you're tired, if you do this you won't ever have to endure anymore suffering" "do it, do it, do it" until I'm in a trance and I almost lose myself for a second and entertain the idea of hurting myself. Then I snap out of it and I'm like "No, fuck off, I'm not stupid, I am strong, I want to live" then comes the most intense anxiety like the oxygen is being sucked out of the room all because I won the fight with my head and get to live another day or so till I hit rock bottom again. It's so exhausting fighting my head it drains so much out of me. I am often lost in thought. I hate it, it's like my brain makes me absent from life. Everything can be happening around me and I get tunnel vision and get so lost in my head that I can't hear anyone or things don't make sense. Sometimes I need to reread things or have someone say something multiple times before my brain can make any sense of it because my brain was focused on my inner monologue. It's annoying.
