Thanks, however I was shit-answering but that got me to thinking… It absolutely depends.

Wounds don’t really heal if they’re being constantly reopened / irritated. Once the source of the injury is removed, some wounds will heal with time, and others require more specialized treatment. For that latter type, the lack of constant reinjury can feel a lot like healing, but it’s not quite the same, and old injuries can flare up and/or have secondary issues down the line. Finding and healing them is a long and inconstant process that only really starts after escaping the cause of the damage. An analogy might be pulling someone out of a collapsed building, then treating them for the effects of asbestos exposure.

I was kinda shit-answering but good answer!
However I am afraid neurodivergence actually makes a difference as we re-experience our pains constantly.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Yes, but in such cases healing involves learning how to avoid some of those pains and manage and cope with the rest.

Some of us are just out of luck, there’s literally nothing.

It surely does, though I don’t think self-harming mental patterns are exclusive to neurodivergent folk.
Strider@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Oh I wasn’t talking about self harming patterns. It’s the neurotypical harming us/me routinely.
(without evil intent but just as a result of the 99% vs 1% behavior, so it’s just normal)
