You cannot see it, but...

[ Stamps and Ink]

There is so much pain in my heart.

The more time I spend thinking and talking about my self-harm, the more it seems to make sense to me.

As I have said before, I believe that you need to be able to understand the reasons why you self-harm before you are able to challenge them.

I am normally a very articulate person, I have a lot of opinions and I am almost always able to explain them to others. The problem lies with feelings and emotions, and my inability to express them most of the time, especially when the emotion I am feeling is pain.

I have never been able to tell people when I feel emotional pain and I feel as though my self-harm and self-harm in general, is often a physical representation of the emotional pain that we find near impossible to express.

For some reason, people who self-harm seem to believe that hurting themselves physically will relieve the emotional pain that they feel inside, but in my opinion, and my own experience, that pain, that heartache, will remain whether you hurt yourself or not.
