so lately, i've been having the hardest time with just functioning like a normal human being.
and tonight, i gave into everything, and did SI. nothing huge, just some quick pain.
and you know what? after doing it, i feel much more calm, and warm, and happier.
i really don't feel any shame. because, loads of people drink and do drugs to escape what's going on in their head. and even though doing those things do not leave physical scars, i think they screw you up even more.
so if SI helps me, why is everyone so against it? it's just something i have to do to get by...
am i being insane?
