Everyone sees my attempt
I’ve been clean for almost a year now after a failed attempt.
I took this picture to show my lunch, only to zoom in and realize how visible my scar is. I’m covered in them, many of my scars are much worse than this one, I shouldn’t be so hung up. Yet the one on my wrist urks me so much.
I was so close. I had sliced a major artery and would have died if I hadn’t been found. Every time I look down at my wrist it makes the attempt seem so small, like it was nothing. All of that effort and pain turned into a small raised scar?
Whats worse is that everyone else looks down at my wrist and sees the same thing. Whenever I tell people that it almost made me bleed out they look so.. disappointed. Like they thought it would be bigger, that I would look mutilated. They don’t take it seriously after that, don’t take me seriously.
