I want to preface this with I Am Not At Risk Of Harming Myself, This Is A Genuine Question And I Am Aware These Feelings Are Irrational And Should Not Be Acted Upon. that being said: has any system who's body does Not have a history of self harm via cutting, who has an alter who does, miss seeing the scars that the alter has while cofronting with said alter?
I'll explain better
i recently split a fictive recently and they have sh scars, i know this because when they split i wanted to hurt myself but not for my normal reasons. i struggle with sh though i don't cut, and haven't since trying to in like middle school, but i get the urge to sh whenever I'm really stressed or overwhelmed or just like experiencing big emotions. that is very normal for me, but that is more seeking the emotional release of sh. the feeling of wanting to cut while they were splitting was less "i need to hurt myself" and more "where the fuck did my scars go?????"
i guess my question is more is this normal, will it go away, and how do i help them be more comfortable in our body
any input or advice is welcome and helpful
