When I was seven years old, my mom was diagnosed with stage three terminal brain cancer. shortly after her surgery Hurricane Rita hit. We moved around for about two years. In 2010, my moms cancer came back at stage four and my parents told me she would die. That summer i stopped eating, i ran for three hours a day, and i cut myself. After my mom died, school was hard. I kept cutting myself.

Im sorry about your mum but trust me, it gets better. you have to fight for yourself. only you can make things better. put the blade down and breathe. get out and see the world for how beautiful it is. Its hard to go through something like that at such a young age. when i was ten, my friend killed herself. She was one of the only people who understood what i was going through at the time. then one day she was gone. you arent the only one dealing with loss. i am here to help if you ever need me. my e-mail is oliviakm@mail.com . put the blade down and just breathe
it was very hard. after the first diagnosis, i helped take of my mom and younger sister. after my mom died, i took care of my sister. and even now, three years later, i am taking care of a 10 year old, a 5 year old, and a 17month old. all of which are my sisters. my stepmom does not do much in the area of taking care of the family and my dad holds a job.
god damn, that was not an easy childhood. Have you spoken to anyone about the death of your mother? Talking with someone may relieve the urge to cut a little, maybe even a lot.
I am really sorry this has happened to you. I hope you can pull through.
Stay strong DGB.

i have talked to counselors, therapists, doctors, everyone. it has only deepened my depression. to this day, the last time i cut was exactly three weeks ago. and i didnt feel good about it after i did it like i normally do. i am trying not to resort back to that. i am keeping a positive outlook on the world, or atleast trying
