I went to the grocery store with unbound/unbadaged self-harm wounds on display, and it was actually okay??? No one called the police or anything????

Sometimes I forget that the censorship of mental illness and it's effects, while entirely valid and very important in certain circumstances*, is an entirely social construct and is not enforceable by law.

#don't mind me #self harm #mental illness #lol i hurt myaelf for the first time in a long time today...#mine #*blah blah blah i am aware that planting the idea of self-harm in the head of a small impressionable child is careless and unethical #i was a nanny and i am an auntie and i have never told my bebes where my scars (quote p: 'those bumps!') came from #that would just be the height of irresponsibility #anyway.. all to say that there are times and circumstances in which covering and/or lying about selfharm scars is the right course of action #but that doesn't mean I should have to hide them all the time to be considered employable #...sorry #rant over
