My Struggle With Self Injury. - Comments

I've struggled with self-harm for two years as well, and I've had a recent relapse sending me back to my old habits.

You're a very strong person for being able to stay strong and not listen to the temptations. Remember to stay strong.

I understand how you feel. You are not alone and I know you will be strong enough to make it through this. I know a lot of people say they understand and they don't. I do. I'm also a cutter like my autobiography story here is about, called Let it Bleed. If you ever need someone to talk to I am here for you. I've been where you are and I know how hard it is but I also know that it's possible to become stronger and make it through.

this actually made me cry and makes me reflect on myself ! my dad died a year ago when i just turned 15 and i was bullied in school constantly because i was upset about what happened and when my cousin in my class told my teacher the bullies heard about it which lead to the bullying. they called me all sorts lesbian, b*tch, worthless trash, sh*tty hair and whenever i went to class they would shout VIRGIN when i entered .It made me hate myself .I never had a boyfriend, i lost my dad ,i felt like a lesbian because boys were mainly bullying me along with some girls.I even began to attempt suicide as i felt like my dad died because he didn't want to be with us anymore :'( but one day my cousin and my best mate asked to do a presentation in assembly to show the school I got feelings and have no right to be bullied because of what happened and eventually the bullying died of and my confidence sort of returned especially now im in 6th form collage with new friends and school life . :') dont them cause you harm! x

totally tearing up. <3

Maggie,

You are a beautiful, wonderful, smart person. I know how it sounds coming from someone who has never self-injured, but you don't need that to feel better. Talk to me, or Daniella, or anyone that cares about you. There are so many of them.

You'll make it through the Winter. I know you will. You're strong. Keep listening to Mariana's Trench. Keep writing. Keep drawing. Keep being funny and beautiful and sweet. <3
