your character is always crying? why is that (if you're ok with sharing?)
Hey, gec-co! Thank you for asking me this!
While I’m personally not *always* crying (tho some days it feels like it) the struggle in recovery is often there.
I think that, for me, there’s a struggle between the ED/self-harm impulses/traumatized parts of myself and the parts of me that are screaming to heal and recover. It’s hard work! A lot of the time healthy decisions come with a heap of guilt and frustration, and I cry when frustrated, so I guess that’s why? A lifetime of self-hate is tough to reverse in short order.
But I’m really happy to be healing, and to have this community of awesome people like you on the journey. And that’s worth fewer tears, so maybe my little dumpling potato person should just be smiling a little more often.
Love you for this question! Have a most excellent day.🖤
