    I’ve honestly thought about it a lot. I’ve been struggling with self harm for years and all of the world news and seeing all the terrible things Maga is doing both to its own citizens and the world have made me ramp things up with the burning considerably. My whole left arm is pretty much just scar tissue at this point, it’s extremely bad.

    I blame myself for it,even though it’s illogical. I didn’t vote for the guy but I’m American so this country’s sins are mine too. Sometimes I tell myself that if I die the world will be a better place because it has one less American in it.

    It’s not healthy for sure but it’s more important than ever to know what’s going on so I keep watching and I keep on burning.

    Plus in a sick way maybe it’s good in burning myself. It’s a small form of justice.

    Don’t follow my example though. I’m very obviously not well in the head. You should most definitely try to get some help if you’re having thoughts like that. I’m the example of what not to do in a mental health crisis.
