You are not alone now. (Advice)

I think what you are doing is so amazing! I cut for three years, but I've been clean for about five months now. (:

HOLY SHIT YOU ARE FUCKING GORGEOUS

Tue, 15 May 2012 17:34:51 -0400

Aw. Thank you so much!!! :) But why are you still on Anon? :O

If I come off of anon will you send me a picture of you??

Tue, 15 May 2012 17:32:39 -0400

I don’t see why not. :)

Wow.. Rough story. How do you keep your past from hurting you?

Tue, 15 May 2012 17:27:19 -0400

Just like that. I remember that it’s in the past now. I am stronger than my story is. It can’t touch me now. :)

Did you use to have any songs that you cheer yourself up with when you're down?

Tue, 15 May 2012 17:17:20 -0400

Tonight, Tonight- Hot Chelle Rae
Happy- NeverShoutNever
Everything I ask for- The Maine
All very upbeat songs. It helps if you dance around like an idiot… I’m not even kidding :)
Stay strong <3

Thank you so much. You are an incredibly strong person. I admire what you're doing so much. <33 Is there any way you might come off of anonymous someday?

Tue, 15 May 2012 17:12:09 -0400

Thank you. There is a chance that I’d come off of anonymous in private only. If the person asking me to reveal my identity wasn’t anonymous, I’d be glad to let them know. I don’t like getting sympathy from the people around me. Especially people around here. I like them knowing me now, but not my story.

i think my best friend is abuse. what should i do? :(

Tue, 15 May 2012 17:07:52 -0400

The best thing you could do is to talk to them about it. The only problem is that asking them might set them off a bit. Try to start out by just letting them know that you’re always there for them and if there was ANYTHING they ever needed to get off their chest you wouldn’t judge them. Best of luck!!

Hi I'm the anonymous post from about five minutes ago. You asked me why I cut. I cut because my parents hate me. They always find some way to hurt me emotionally or physically... I would like some help actually. Thank you.

Tue, 15 May 2012 17:02:52 -0400

Ah, I see. I honestly do understand where you’re coming from. It’s not fun to live in an abusive household. When you think you’re going to cut, try imagining yourself when you’re out of the house doing something that you love. Or think of a best friend that loves you and cares about you. That’s where I would start actually. Telling a friend about what’s been going on with you. A CLOSE friend. I think the only reason that all of my friends turned on me was because I never had a real friend to start with. But if you really know someone you can trust, please tell them. It takes one spark to light a fire. You will get through this. When all else fails, I have faith in you. Have faith in yourself. <3

I cut. But just like you, I don't flaunt it to the world. I don't tell ANYONE that I cut or that I have any reason at all to be sad. It really irritates me when the "emo" kids at school say that they cut. They don't know what it really feels like to be in pain. I might be a "prep" and I might be "popular" but I don't have a dream life like everyone thinks I do. I just needed to get that off my chest.

I’m sorry dear, but like I said in my story which you obviously read, it DOES get better and I am always here to listen. May I ask you why it is that you cut yourself? Maybe I could figure out a way to help you if I knew. I’d really like that, but not if you’re not ready. Chin up. <3

i can relate to your experiences so much right now. i hope i can be as strong as you and get through this.

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:06:21 -0400

You can be strong. You will get through this. Whatever it is you’re going through, just know that there are brighter days ahead. Soon enough it will all make sense to you! Best of luck. :)

Thanks to you I will never give up

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:02:53 -0400

Aw! Thank you. That really means a lot. Glad you’re taking the high road. Giving up is never the answer. :)

Just wanted to tell you that I'm 17, I cut for 3 years and I've been clean for six months! :D

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 15:58:56 -0400

Great for you!!!! I’m so glad. :)

I really enjoyed reading your story. My best friend just tried to kill herself in January. I'm going to show her your blog! It gave me hope, I'm sure it will do wonders for her.

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 15:51:00 -0400

Thank you! I’m so glad I could be of help to you! I hope that your friend feels better very soon! :)

I live in Oregon, Ohio. I feel like I've heard the end of your story before. Is that possible?

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 07:29:54 -0400

That is very possible.

My boyfriend is cutting :/ I feel like it's my fault that I'm not making him happy enough. I want him to stop though. What should I do about it?

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 07:27:22 -0400

I’m really sorry about your situation. Just know that it is NOT your fault that your boyfriend is cutting. Sometimes, no matter how happy we are, the urge to cut just comes around. If it becomes an addiction, you can’t stop no matter how good of a situation you’re in. Talk to him about it. Suggest that he get help. If he doesn’t want help, you might have to take matters into your own hands before it gets out of control. I hope it works out for you. I really do. Smile. :) Everything will be okay soon.

congrats on all you have overcome :3

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 07:21:57 -0400

Thank you so much!!!! :) That really means a lot to me!

I cut myself but I'm not "emo". So no one would suspect it or notice but I want to stop. I want help. What should I do?

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 07:18:58 -0400

First off, congrats on seeking help. You are incredibly strong! :) I admire that. Honestly dear, your best bet is to start at home. If home is what’s troubling you, I’d go to a favorite teacher or a school counselor. I’d say a good friend, but if you read my story you’d know that a majority of my friends didn’t take it seriously because “everyone does it for attention nowadays.” Or, they turned on me. But if you have a close friend who you KNOW is there for you, that would be a good place to start. Then of course there’s me. If you come off Anonymous and message me, I can do my best to help you out. Best of luck! Don’t forget to smile. :)
