It is built in our systems to fight back or to defend yourself from something and/or someone. The human body and brain try its best to fight to live and fight to protect yourself or others from harm. Its how most living things work, of course in different ways but it all comes down to protecting yourself or itself and/or others from harm.
But what if the thing and/or person who is trying to harm you, is yourself?
One side of your brain screaming one thing while the other another thing. Sometimes, it feels like you are fighting another you but you can't protect yourself.
Yet, I understand it is just a illness in my mind and there is no 'other me' but it feels like it. It feels as if every day I fight myself to do normal things, to protect myself even though I cannot harm it.
Let's say I do protect myself and I harm the thing that is attacking me. If I do this, it is harming myself and that is self-harm
Let's say I have had enough and I kill it...Well, we all know how that ends.
