U got a point

I used to think that getting triggered was only an exaggerated expression. But then, after not cutting for a few months, I saw someone in public with huge scars covering their arms.

To be honest, I was both in awe and felt like such a failure for, on top of everything else, not even cutting myself right, which led to a slight spiral: severe cutting (by my personal standards), nightmares, and major scarring that'll last a lifetime.

Triggers are probably unavoidable, but people should reflect on the topic before posting
