You didn’t want to die, you wanted to be seen. You didn’t want to hurt yourself, you wanted to be held. You didn’t want the company of pain, you wanted the company of someone. It’s not about simply “eliminating” the symptom— but listening to what it says.

What the Symptom Says
You didn’t want to die, you wanted to be seen. You didn’t want to hurt yourself, you wanted to be held. You didn’t want the company of pain, you wanted the company of someone. It’s not about simply “eliminating” the symptom— but listening to what it says.
