Picture this...

You're sitting in your room...

I believe the reasons for self harming are as individual as the people practicing these inflictions...people who have never suffered from depression will never fully understand the need to self harm, for me, self harming is liberating...

Pretty self explainatory.

Yesterday was valentines day. I met up with my girlfriend and I was so happy just to be with her. We have been experiencing massive problems lately because she believes that our child that she is carrying has down syndrome because of...

i have this step dad. he puts me down in everything i do.. tells me i'm worth nothing.. i'm terrified that when i come home he'll shout at me for no reason at all and tell me to die.. (I'm 15 by the way)

I started developing anxieties and taking on a tons of stress and depression when I was in elementary school ( around grade 4 I guess is when it started to take effect on me ) and sometime during grade six is when I'd felt I'd had more...

I side the blade across my wrist... I watch the blood rise from my skin. The burn makes the pain on the inside feel less noticeable. I hate it. I feel helpless, alone, in pain. No one will care if i slice my neck open next time instead...

I've been cutting, hitting, burning, breaking my hands and legs for years. I am proud to say that its been longer then 7 months since I last hurted myself. I can tell you this the feeling never gose away. I still think about and even...

Its like a drug. The first incision is quick, leaving a flesh colored gash staring back at me. In less than a second, blood rushes into the wound and drips down my arm. I attack the same incision multiple times, each time digging deeper...

A little bit of pain feels good. Sometimes I'd provoke my pet into biting me, with those long, sharp teeth; he doesn't mean to be disloyal, but just loses track of himself when I provoke him, because I know what it takes, what works. He...

I realize I'm only fifteen, and most people think teenagers cut for attention or because of drama, but this is different. A little under a year ago I got involved in a relationship with a guy who was emotionally abusive towards me. He...

I have spent years forcing myself to hurt myself, only to remind myself Not to hurt others...

I hurt myself with whatever i can find.. I was once forced to get rid of all my things that i cut with and so after when i was at school i found Random things like Thumb tacks and paper clips.. Until one day in my art class i stole a...

I'm not a cutter, I'm a scratcher. I didn't love it, I hated it, before today I couldn't remember the last time I scratched, it had to have been just a little over a year ago.

Last year I was depressed, my life was just so hellish, I...

Mr. R Blade.
He is there for me all the time
He listens to my cries, consoling my aching soul
He never talks back to me
He doesn't judge, he accepts me for who I am
Mr. R Blade.
He reassures like no other
No one seems to approve of his...
