A young woman created a lot of agitation on social networks after posting several images on TUMBLR. While her photos have gone viral and are quickly catching the eye, there is a hidden message behind them, something that should not be overlooked or taken too lightly.
At first other users thought it was a tattoo, an art form, or who knows what form of skin disease, but the truth is really devastating.
Apparently, she suffers from something that many teenagers practice: she hurts herself, what you see in the pictures are actually drawings made by her. What is her reason? The girl tries to cope with her problems in this way, she tries not to cut herself by drawing complicated patterns on her legs.
Most of those who hurt themselves in this way do not know how to cope with their own emotions. Several mental illnesses are associated with this type of behavior, including borderline disorder, depression, eating disorders, anxiety, post-traumatic stress. Those who struggle with such a thing are told that they have only two options: to go to a psychiatrist very often or to take a lot of medication.
Here is the text this girl put next to the pictures:
” My psychologist told me that instead of cutting myself, I could try to draw something beautiful where I want to cut. What you see is what came out. And it really works, really. If you struggle with this, I recommend this technique, but use a marker, not a pen, pens can hurt you! ”
Hundreds of people have since distributed her text saying she helped them. This girl is a role model for how creativity can help us overcome extremely difficult times. She really is an inspiration! I hope her message reaches as many people as possible, you could help us by distributing this article! She deserves to reach out to those she could help.
