This is a very serious post. If you don't know, self harm is when someone brings pain on themselves for many different reasons. Its hard to explain why people would ever want to bring pain on them selves, and I promise you, no matter how hard they will try to explain, it wont make sense.
I have been dealing with self harm for about a year. I have a hard time trying to explain why I do it/ did it. I will do my best. Depression has been a very common thing in my world. I started cutting myself because I felt so lonely in the inside. I wanted to feel something, anything really. That's what a lot of people say, and its only the truth.
For those of you that don't deal with self harm, let me try to explain it to you in a better way. Imagine sitting at the dentists. If you have ever had surgery done, or had a tooth pulled, you know that they have to numb your mouth so you don't feel the pain. That's how I felt. Everywhere.
Self harm also becomes an addiction. Like drugs, and alcohol. People count the days they have gone without it. It gives a rush of feelings, a sense that your heart is still beating. I'm not going to put any pictures up, because those can be triggering, and I would never want to trigger anyone.
My first subject on this Topic is going to be: Attention Seekers.
What I mean by that is people posting pictures of their scars on social media. You guys need to understand that, yes they do have a problem, but no, they shouldn't be posting about it. For one, its very triggering to many people. Two, why would you ever want people to know about this kind of problem.
If any on you are doing this, i do believe you are going through a hard problem, but please don't share it with the world, get some help. Life without self harm is so much easier, and care free. No more long sleeves, no more lies. You will be able to breath freely!
The moral of this post is, get help, don't hare your life online. If you want to talk, you can email me @ rosieposie0926@gmail.com
