Help UHH SOMEONE HYPE ME UP OR CONVINCE ME OR SOMETHING

[PaperStar]

UM SO OK OK SO my partner he lost his phone a while ago and lost a LOT of photos with it (ed and sh pictures yea) and I promised him I'd delete all of my sh pictures if he never found his phone (since hey we both lose something and it could help him get over the loss— also because the photos aren't good for me they just make me wanna relapse).

It's been a month?? maybe?? And I'm really like nervous about deleting them but I know I have to. I guess I just need someone to tell me hey you need to get rid of them?? or someone else to convince me because I'm really nervous I DONT WANNA GET RID OF THEM BUT I NEED TO LIKE AT THE SAME TIME I WANT RO BECUSE I DONT WANT MY BOYFRIEND TO HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PHTOOS I HAVE :(

Why do you not want to get rid of your self harm pictures?

weird unhealthy attachment to them ig? They're like memories and I like thinking about the scars I have and comparing them to what they looked like as fresh cuts. It's not good though, all it does is make me want more cuts and scars and miss what it was like to have fresh injuries I had to take care of.

i get that! i also used to be really attached to my SH pictures, but honestly there are rlly long periods in my life where i completely forget those pictures are anywhere i can access. i know it's a hard decision, but maybe you can try "deleting" them for now (aka putting them in your trash) and seeing if you still have the heavy urge to keep them by the time it automatically deletes the files from the trash?
