Why do I feel the need to SH when I feel guilty? I had a fight with my best friend and I knew we were both in the wrong, but I harmed myself anyway. The pain just lets all of the feelings out of my body. I feel like I need to be punished.

I struggle with this. I used to do it as a form of self- punishment cause I thought I deserved it:/

i’m clean from sh, but i struggle with this feeling still too. it’s important to remember you DO NOT deserve it, no matter how many times your brain tells you you do. ik it can be hard to find ways to release those tough feelings in a safe way. be kind to yourself, you don’t need to be punished, sh*t happens! it’s important to stay kind to yourself and your body, and be patient with yourself. you guys got this :)
