Someone reblogged a picture of one of my self-induced bruises with a caption explaining that it was only mild (well, to be fair, I’m adding the “only”). The person didn’t know I had done it intentionally as I didn’t mention it at all in the post, but even so, it KILLED me to see that. It made me feel like such a big failure. It’s just so stupid: I self injure because I feel like a failure, I feel like a failure for self injuring, and I feel like a failure when my self injury isn’t “good enough.” All I feel like doing is taking out my hammer and “fixing” my mild bruise.
