(trigger because cutting is mentioned)

Okay, so I am accepting that at the very least, there is this young part of me that wants to be taken care of. T takes care of her, and when he does that, it makes me feel like maybe *I* can take care of her.

And then there is scary teenager me, who wants to hide in the closet and cut and listen to music way too loud and just generally stomp around being shut off and angry.

I've been stuck with the teenager all week - but I felt the young me coming back in therapy today. I want to take care of HER this weekend, if I can keep angry teenage me at bay.

What do you do to take care of your young ones?? I feel so....fragile, I guess. Like I can FEEL angry teenager waiting in the wings. I just don't want that.
