Because we over exaggerate right? Because we don’t know the difference.
I’ve been cutting again.
EVERYWHERE
The palm of my left hand, My left index finger and thumb,  my right wrist, My right knee, both of the tops of my feet as well as the sides, and last but not least my rib cage.
And you know what? We’re not all liars. Depression does hurt.

Hello DDD…sorry for the initials…old tired woman here.
How much physical pain am I in? Hahahaha My doctor can’t figure out why I am even still alive…I wouldn’t know what it feels like not to have physical pain…but most of it is caused from failed suicide attempts…yep
I know that depression hurts…I have suffered from a severe depressive disorder my whole life…but doesn’t cutting just add more physical pain plus some additional emotional pain(regret)…I know it would for me. But I also understand the addictive nature of self-abuse. I dunno…can I ask you a really ignorant question? Do you feel better now? Not trying to be mean…just curious. I am not a cutter…I found other ridiculous ways to self-abuse…so I really would like to try to understand your coping method…I get the pain and the pain of depression…just don’t know about your choice in self-harming.
Sorry to hear you are hurting and cutting again
Wish I could say something intelligent to help you…but
Peace
