My therapist tells me that sensation is a good coping mechanism, she says cold baths would work.
but i’ve always preferred warm. Scalding even.
Sitting in a boiling bathtub i started wondering why a warm bath wouldn’t work, why does it have to be cold?
sitting in that same bath i realized
Warm hurts. Scalding hurts
leaves my body red and burning
cold doesn’t. it’s a shock, sure, but it can’t hurt as easily. not at the level i could achieve, even an ice bath wouldn’t be enough.
but i could get it too hot, hot enough to hurt
i guess now i understand why i prefer hot baths.
and now they make me sick
