Why do y’all feel invalid without the cutting?
we dont know.
I guess then what feels different between when y'all cut and when y'all don't, if you can answer (I understand it's not the most straightforward question)?
Hmm... Maybe ya'll feel valid because it "proves" ya'll have a deeper issue. It proves somethings wrong mentally. Im not a doctor and dont know you all so take it with a grain of salt, but it seems like that. People often associate cutting with depression or other mental disorders, so sometimes cutting is a way to "prove" its true.
On how to get out of this mindset i can only suggest proffessional mental help. No one but a psychologist and psychiatrist can help you, really. When it comes to a point of sh thats the better option, but my dms are always open?
what happens is a problem in the dopamine reward system
that can be fixed with antipsychotic medication
yea, kinda. but is it bad i like the way cuts look? it disturbs us sometimes. but that also drove us to do it.
we have adhd and odd. both of these effect dopamine, one just specifically in the reward pathways of the brain.
that’s why medication is needed imo
an atypical antipsychotic to be exact
get a psychiatrist
ive been on it
