Hello, my name is Shawna and I’m new here, I just found this website today while looking for some sort of support group. I’ve had been dealing with the effects of depression for around 4 years now, almost 5. Somehow I’ve fought through it that long, but not without having extreme ups and downs, mostly downs. It’s been so long and I’m feeling so tired. I’m a recovering self-harmer, been clean for about 4 months. But I’m having a really really hard time with the urges. I’ve been feeling so sad the past few days, so so sad and angry and just sick and tired of being sick and tired. For the past few weeks I’ve been wanting to go find my old blade and just…you know, and the urge is only getting worse.
I’m just feeling so sad right now

I found this site roughly three months ago. I was feeling down and was going through a lot of pain. This place has helped relieve some the strain I was going through.
It sounds like you’ve been battling for a long time. Well, you’ve made this far. I don’t cut. I don’t know what it feels like but I imagine it hasn’t been easy.
Stay strong. I guess the important thing is not to give up.
Hello Sawhna, I’m sorry you’ve been feeling down, but great job on going 4 months without self harming; try not to break your streak. You’ve lived with depression for 4 years already and you’re still here, that’s proof that you’re a storng person. Keep being strong, and don’t be afraid to let your anger and sadness out if you need to(bottling it up will just turn you into a bomb) let it out in a way that isn’t destructive.
Welcome to the site, and by the way thanks, your username made me smile. : )
Much love.
Thank you guys so much for your support, it means a lot to me 🙂 Don’t worry I’m still fighting, just tired.
