YOU can do it!

Stay strong! It’s easier to say it than do it. But I know YOU can do it. I never thought I could. But I’m a lot stronger than what I thought I could be. I used to cut. I haven’t cut for six months now and I feel a lot better.

happiness exists…

Being taught that this is something you have to deal with on your own sometimes feels un-fair. That you have to figure it all out by yourself. I believe pieces you find out on your own, like learning to love yourself, except that you are human, and not be so afraid of the world. You don’t have to be alone. You’re not alone. True happiness exists. It sometimes seems to be hidden, but it’s there.

I’m getting better

I had a really bad time period from about 7th grade to 9th grade. I had just moved to a new school and everyone thought I was odd. I had family problems going on and it just wasn’t a good time for me. I wanted to be normal. A girl on my bus did it and I thought “how much worse could it get”? I still do that. But now I know there is nothing wrong with me. I am strong. I have people love me. I think everyone should know that. There is always someone who loves you. I’m getting better. Clean for three months and for once in a long time I’m happy.

Stay Strong!!

I used to suffer from depression and self harm because I felt like I was all alone in this world that would never understand me. And to be honest, my family and friends didn’t get me at all and for the most part still don’t. But then I discovered reading… Not teenage dramas or romance novels but actual classic literature. Authors really open themselves up in their novels, and you realize all those thoughts and feelings that you thought no one else had are right before your eyes. And you realize you’re not alone after all.
If you struggle with self harm or depression, try reading. It may sounds stupid at first, but just try it. 🙂 It saved my life, and it may help you too.
I love you all and stay strong.

Stand up!

I haven’t cut in about a Month now, I know it’s not that long, But It’ll be a long time. Black Veil Brides saved my life with their Music, they might save yours! Throw away the Razor… “Stand up for what You Believe in, Even if that means standing Alone.”~Black Veil Brides.

Grateful….

I’m not going to say I will never cut or do drugs again or say that I don’t have cravings anymore but I haven’t cut or done drugs in almost two years now. I am clean and I wouldn’t miss this life I have for anything. I hope this was somewhat inspiring. I hope and pray that someone reads this and knows that recovery is possible and happiness through recovery will meet you someday. Life is a blessing to me and I’m only 21. Imagine what I have yet to accomplish in my many years to come. I am grateful.

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.

you’ve made it through

Look down at your scars and smile, because you’ve just made it through the hardest time. And you’re alive, I’m glad.

you can always begin again

When you’re at the lowest point in your life, and you feel like you cant go on anymore, reach out for help. After being down for many years I finally reached out for help, I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder. After hospitalization, therapy, and medicine I can honestly say I would not be a live if I wouldn’t have asked for help. Its never too late to ask for help, as long as you are willing to receive it. As Buddha once said, “No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.”

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.
