SH Scars
(Trigger warning for mentioning of self harm scars)
I have a bit of a history with self-harming and self-harming behaviors and fidgets. When I’m stressed out I tend to unconsciously cause myself pain and one thing that I stopped doing years ago was chewing the skin on the insides of my cheeks. I have these long scars running up to the corners of my mouth on each side on the inside of my mouth from the skin being chewed off, and recently I don’t know what triggered this relapse but I’ve been causing more damage to the scarred areas and making the lines longer than they used to be.
I don’t know how to stop since I started again and I’m really worried that I’m going to cause more lasting damage. I luckily haven’t made myself bleed but I have been making the scars longer, I’m going to look into ways to try and help myself stop.
