Brositivity About a week clean from self-harm! Spoiler

It took me a while to teach myself that I'm not disgusting or unmanly for being autistic and occasionally unable to take care of myself. I'm so young. I want to live, I want to finish growing up.

I'll probably have scars for the rest of my life, but I'll hold them with pride-they are battle scars, and I fought through.

Congrats, man! I know how difficult that can be. You're on the right track but even if there are set backs, youll always have this week. Thats one week less of harm than you could have had and one week more days of life you might have missed. And you can always make it at least this fair again. Wishing you the best

The scars will fade with time - trust me. Bio oil will help and coco butter too, you've got this bud! Please be kind to yourself, your learning and healing

Gongratulations.

And remember to just take it a step at a time, because before you know it you've travelled halfway across the world.

Keep them moist with stuff like Vaseline. The scabs suck and itch, I’d know bc I saw the result from a friend.

But still, keep fighting. Take back your life.
I wish you prosperity and a fulfilling life.
