my life is so pathetic and I’m only going downhill. In school, I have to bring a razor with me, such as when I’m in math class and I’m craving pain, or to watch my blood flow down my arms and through my sweater; I ask for the bathroom pass and walk slowly down the hallway watching my feet as I step. Razor in my sweater pocket. I go into a stall and make sure no one is in the stall next to me, just in case my blood drips on the floor. once I’ve made about 12 adjacent cuts to each other, I take a roll of the thin, cheap, shitty toilet paper my school supplies and wrap it around my wrist tightly. I have to put some in my pocket because it’ll seep through too fast. Then I go back to class with my head down of course thinking low of myself. Remembering my therapist telling me “Jaymie, one time cutting; I’m sending you away.” sometimes I think of that as a threat but others I know that without her voice in my head, ill just cut too deep and it’ll be the last time I breathe and cut again.

Honestly, this was so sad and I don’t even know what to say. I cut myself as well and I really do understand that even though it’s completely irrational, sometimes it’s all you need to get through the day. To be in control of your own pain is a beautiful thing. Sometimes I cut myself over 60 or 70 times, never on my wrist, always my thigh, I carve words and I count how many marks I can make before I’m sobbing. Not because it hurts, but because I realize how low my life has become. The fact that you have to take a razor to school is a terrible thing. I hope that you can find the strength to recover and I hope that you will eventually find peace. I know every day is a battle, but you can do this.
