“Tell someone you can trust, someone who won’t laugh at you; tell your teacher or a counselor. I know it seems like they are oblivious to what we go through but there’s a really good chance they will understand (they may have gone through similar stuff when they were younger). Let your heart reach out and you’ll find peace.”

Light at the end…
From someone who self-injured for years I can say that you can overcome this. I haven’t cut in about 1.5 years now and I can honestly say it feels great. I struggled at times, but I think that’s a part of the process. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, you just have to work to get there…but trust me, it is so worth it. I’m glad I stopped…so glad!
don’t let the storm win
“When life comes at you like a storm and you think all hope is lost, do not let the waves keep you down. Though it may feel like you will drown, I am waiting for you to resurface that I might take you home.” — We are caught up in a storm and are being thrown around by the waves. We feel like we will drown at any moment. But…someone is ALWAYS there to help. There is someone out there that wants to help and there is someone out there going through the same things as you. You may feel alone, but there is always someone there to take your hand and pull you out of the water. You may not be out of the storm, but you will be in a boat with someone who will ride the waves with you, and never let go of your hand. You are not alone. Don’t give up. Do not let the storm win. Stay strong.

Never Alone
There is always someoe out there trying to help. You just have to open yourself to realize that self harm is a problem, that you need help. You’re never alone.
Fight every single day
I’ve been in recovery for almost 7 months now,and I’m proud of myself. No one around me really understands how hard it is not to want to hurt myself, but I fight every single day. The road to recovery has been anything but easy but I’m still walking and I hope to eventually make it all the way there.
I. Will. Stop.
Currently I am trying to stop self-injuring. I will stop. It takes a while, and so much determination and willpower, but eventually, I. Will. Stop.
and so will you.
I find Yoga helps! :)
I found that yoga helps. I go to yoga a few times a week and each time I feel so much calmer. It’s weird because I think it makes me feel better overall so I don’t have as many urges 🙂
You can be free of SI!
I used to think I would always SI…that I couldnt stop it. I was wrong. So wrong. It starts with telling someone u can trust…and then it takes a lot of work, but from someone who went thru this, I can say its worth it…u can get over this…u can recover…u can be free! Hang in there…u can do it!
You can get through this!
Make a pact with a close friend or family member, someone you trust. Because you hurt them when you hurt yourself. I know it doesn’t always seem like anyone cares about you. But I do, even though I don’t know you, I care, and I do not want to see you hurt yourself. You CAN get through this. I know you can.
