high functioning means jack shit when i know i would be the kind of neuroatypical that screams and hits itself that the media likes to portray as low functioning if i hadn't learn to mask urges
the only reason my wrists aren't covered in scars like some people i know is because i'm afraid of pain. i'm only still "healthy" out of fear, not bravery or stability
the only reason i can even post right now is self-medding my brain with caffeine pills
