"it's externalizing the internal pain you feel and instead of taking it out on other people (because you are too sensitive for that) you take it out on yourself"
I think you are right on with this. I've often commented on how I outwardly look so normal, but on the inside - well, not so much.
Also, right after my head injury, I looked completely fine, no visible signs of trauma at all. I didn't even have a black eye or anything. Just some facial swelling that went away in a few days.
I guess somehow I think those scars should be visible you know?
I'm going to start keeping a journal and try to articulate in it when the feelings of SI are so strong. What I'm thinking about etc... And give that to my therapist so he can help me to identify the acute triggers.
Thank you for your post and your insight.
