heartbrokenbitchez asked: For a little more than four months ago, I started drinking. Two months ago, I started smoking. I'm not addicted though. And yesterday I started cutting myself. I've had 4 suicidal thoughts in the last 9 months. My bestfriends keep telling me I need to stop all that. But I can't. It's too hard. They tell me to promise that I'll stop. So I do. But haven't stopped. I...

i almost got institutionalized today, but the doctor decided that the out patient program would be the best fit for me instead. if you have ever been in this situation you know how scary it is, but these places can sometimes help or at least get you to another place that can help you better.

Anonymous asked: sure, if i tell people i'm hurting, they care. they dont want me to cut. they dont want me to have suicidal thoughts. whatever. but otherwise, i'm ignored. i dont want to ask for attention. i want someone to sincerely care about me. is that selfish?

cassielives: I think I just have to remind myself everyday to be as strong as I can. No matter what. Just keep trying. Even when things seem so daunting and scary. Just to find something worth fighting for. Buddhism says that life is characterised by suffering. That it’s expected, not something that happens…

Anonymous asked: as much as i try, i cant stop cutting. i thought i had gotten over it. i was good, i had stopped. and then i started again. it's consuming me. it's the only thing that can stop me from falling apart in front of people. or from crying my eyes out every night. i dont know if its a good thing or a bad thing at this point. i feel so defeated. by something i'm causing.

four years without self harm
jonstewarts-sexslave: in a couple weeks, tt’s been four years since i stopped self-harming. My god. Anytime i get stressed out to the point of breaking, i remember how long its been. Also, i remember how strong i was when i made that decision and that i still have that strength. four fucking years…..unbelievable.
