Anonymous asked: my pavlovian response to being hurt emotionally and mentally is to hurt myself physically. i know that i shouldn't, and it makes me so sad to look down at my body and see what i have done to myself, but i'm so emotionally crippled that i can't find any other way to cope. i'm scared that i'm going to break, and no one is going to catch me, and i'll press too deep and i'll lose myself. i'm so scared.
