Thanks guys.. but this is for a personal essay.. and I’ve been sent to the counselors for writing stuff ‘too emotional’ I suppose this can also be a struggle for me.. but not a good thing to write about at the momment.

Self injury. (7 days clean at the moment.) Depression. Suicidal thoughts. Emotional Abuse.

I haven’t overcome any of those.

Answer #17

I guess I could say suicidal thoughts. I slit my wrist(1) three years ago, but I know it wasnt to commit suicide, but I cant remember why I did it, but I do remember what pushed me to do it. but I’ll never do it again. as bad as life can be, I know I always have someone I can talk to. someone I love and trust. a small white scar, a bump on my wrist that, thankfully, goes unnoticed. I have only told one person about it, and it was in the middle of their peril when they needed help and guidence. I was able to use my experience to guide them back into … I cant think of the right word. I want to say sanity, but they were not crazy at all. hm, oh well, maybe later. sumagrl31 - I give you my support you poor thing. my heart goes out to you.
