At some point, my friends would probably say, &#8220;We feels sorry for you, but stop using the cream so you can heal.&#8217;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And if I continued to use it over and over again for YEARS, knowing the outcome every single time was the same, it would eventually get to a point where the people who genuinely care about me could no longer enable me by continuing to give sympathy and support to behavior that is clearly keeping me stuck in an unhealthy cycle,&#8221; <strong>Mikayla<\/strong> continued. &#8220;I absolutely agree that compassion should be felt for for the people involved and for the situation itself.
