About 5 years ago I attempted suicide, to this day I now suffer from PTSD resulting in never ending anxiety… it never stops or leaves me alone. That being said, suffering from body image and depression has always been a struggle for me, recently this summer I started cutting myself and now it seems to be the only thing that keeps me sane these days. Weird. I know. But it’s something about the pain that reminds me i’m alive and still here, it’s like a horrible reassurance that I need to remind myself everyone now and then.

You called this post ‘My Story’. No it isn’t!!! It sounds exactly like mine too 🙁
i’m sorry, i guess the word “my” doesnt really fit here since we all have a story to tell
It’s not weird, it’s not healthy for any of us to be self destructive however that may look (cutting/drinking etc) but please know you are not alone with having cutting as your way to feel. We all have our coping mechanisms and if it’s something that keeps you alive for another day I hope you can see that your life is worth something <3
thank you means a lot as i lay in bed right now haha… sometimes you just need to be told your worth it 🙂
Everyone deserves to know that xx
