If anyone needs to talk then mail me. Everyone should be able to talk to someone who isn’t going to judge them or demand they stop just because they don’t understand. I’m 22 years old. I have been hurting myself on and off since I was about 12. Between 12 and 15 I didn’t do much. Between 15 and 18 it was every couple of weeks or when I got really stressed. Then I went to uni and it was harder to hide so I stopped. But then I came back home. In October I took an overdose and in November I tried slitting my wrist. Since then I’ve been cutting and burning myself as a way to stay alive. It’s not a permenant solution and I hope that one day I won’t need to do this anymore. But for now I refuse to be ashamed of what I’m doing. You can take me alive and scarred, or dead. That’s the choice.
