Hi
This is my first time writing on here and I am kind of scared to talk. I’m quite shy.
But hey, I might aswell tell you what I am hoing through.
People hate me. Short and sweet I know but it is true. People just hate who I am.
I cut. Just like everyone expects me to do. I mean, people expect me to want to end my life, and I do, but the point is I can leave wheni I want to leave. Its not like anyone would care anyway.
My story? Well it all started when my sister died. I was only seven. Four mouths later, my brother comitted suiside and my dad left after that. My mum has always stayed with me though.
Since the day I lost my sister and brother, I have always wanted to follow them. But I am trying to stay strong. For them. For myself.

What about for your mother? You said she’s always stayed with you… is she a reason for you to keep living?
I may not know here, but just from your post I can tell that you are very, very brave and strong. Brave for posting on here, strong because you’re doing this not only for yourself but for others. I don’t know you, but you inspire me. Keep being strong, because the world needs people like you. You can do this.
I cut because people expected it of me too. I don’t know when it began, but I had this feeling that it was the only thing left. Hear me, you do not have to be who others think you should be. You have multiple reasons to be sad and it may seem like the world is out to get you, I know. I’ve been there – but show them, show those who hate you that even with all you’ve gone trough, you stand tall. Set the expectation for yourself, don’t let others. You can be great, you can be an example. Also just a ps: oftentimes those who seem to hate you don’t know what they’re doing, maybe try talking to them about how they make you feel? If nothing else, stay for your mum; she lost your sister, your brother, and your dad as well. Try talking to her about it, she may be hurting just as much or even more than you.
Cutting does not control you, you control you. With some work, it is very possible to stop. Cutting can get you into serious trouble, it can seriously hurt you, please, please try and stop. Something that worked for me was that whenever I felt like cutting I would immediately focus my mind on something I enjoyed doing (I would play guitar instead.) Sometimes I would cry and just hold onto my guitar, not even playing, because the pull was so hard.
I am a survivor. I am 10 months clean of cutting 🙂 If it means anything, I love you. Be strong.
*I may not know you…
All_Time_Low,
I second GuitarStrings – it is evident from your post that you are very brave and strong to have endured what you have. It’s awful to have been through so much tragedy and heartache, but your mom is reason enough for you to want to live, as she sounds pretty brave and strong herself. And I’m sure she would care a lot.
People can be terrible for sure, but their actions are not worth your life. Best wishes.
