I know how hard it is to want to release the pain you feel and how much it hurts even worse to know that there is no way you can. Recently my life has his rock bottom so i turned to the knife. After I cut I always feel better until I see the scars from before and the cut from the knife in my hand… then i regret doing it. I haven’t cut myself for a week now and I too am trying to make it permanent… maybe we can help each other?

I wish i could help, but I’m scared to help people and mess up. You can talk to me, but I don’t guarantee i’ll respond quickly. I also have no training or anything. I’m just an ear.
I know any time i feel depressed I find the more i help other people the better I feel. it’s one of the few things that helps. helping someone. works for me.

Old habbits die hard. When I feel bad, I hit the bottle. I don’t know how to stop. When you feel bad, you cut. A part of you is always going to want to go back to it. But you have to keep reminding yourself that that part of your life is over.

The only thing I can think of here is projection. Imagine in the future if you will a child looking up to you and saying why? Your child wanting to know if you did it why can’t I? Your child asking why promise you? You didn’t keep your promise. One day in the future you will make a difference to someone else you will effect their life, your child or not, someone and you need to promise them that person or persons because project forward and you will see them waiting for you. Take care of yourself.
