I Have Confidence in You

You will. I remember being scared to grow up, too. Yet you are already growing up by facing yourself. You are already becoming a better person, and eventually you will be confident enough to let self-harm go and become a part of your past. I appreciate your strenght and know you are going to have a bright future.

I Hope So

When I started homeschooling, I told myself I'd be dead by April. I got scared of myself and reached out. I gave out hints that no-one seemed to grasp. I just came out and said it in my shaking voice. I don't want to grow up, but I think I already have. I don't want to turn 15, or anything over that because I'm scared of my future. What if I'm still like this, or worse in my adulthood? But I hope that when I do grow up, I can make a difference to many lives.

You Can Make It

Fifteen was the exact age my life went into a downward spiral. The exact age. I struggled with SI for about two years, at ages 15 and 16. I'll tell you, making it to 17 made a difference.

My future at 15 seemed murky at best, and nightmarish at worst. I am 30 now, and I am so grateful I did not give up on myself. I know you can make it past this difficult time. It feels so hopeless and pointless sometimes, but I felt the same way. You are strong or else you would not even be here anymore. Remember your strength and I know one day, you'll be 30, helping someone who's 15.

Thank-you!

I'm Trying My Hardest

Sometimes, I don't know if I want to get better; I guess I'm afraid of letting go, and learning what it is like to genuinely be happy. It's almost been two months for me - I can't believe I'm actually saying that. But my scars are bad but they aren't risen anymore. It feels abnormal to have smooth skin.

Thanks, and congrats on going two months!

Stay Strong

I feel the same urges sometimes. I want to cut SO BADLY because I tell myself it will feel so good. But I know that cutting is a battle I'm fighting. And I don't want to give in.

You're doing so well, and I know it's hard (it's been two months for me and I still struggle) but you can do this. Remember, people believe in you <3

I'm so happy things worked

I'm so happy things worked out for you and you were able to run again. Although I dislike running, I'm glad you were able to continue to do something you love (:

Thank-you!

Thank-you so much, Cookiesamilk, that means a lot to me! I am so happy you are a runner, too! It is my favorite exercise. Keep up with your own running and thanks again for all your support and encouragement!

Congratulations!

This is great! I'm so glad you ran it! I'm a runner too, I could never imagine not being able to run. I would probably still train if I had a broken leg ;) I'm glad you stuck with it! I'm sure you'll get rid of those 10 extra minutes in no time! Congratulations!

<3
