My upper thighs are covered in scars, mostly words and insults… I’ve been doing it since middle school, started with a safety pin, kiddie scissors, broken pencil sharpeners, and now I steal razors from school. I try to help people too, I just don’t take my own advice. I’ve saved a handful of souls, and that’s what’s important to me. I pretend I want to be a social worker, but realistically, I know I won’t live long enough to make that happen. I lie to my fiance about being happy, and getting better…I’m almost never happy anymore, and I’ve started seeing things; bugs, when I close and open my eyes, everywhere… I called him a few minutes ago because I think I might hurt myself bad again tonight, but he’s on his way to go train with his sensei, and who I am I to distract him from that? I don’t want to deal with life anymore.
This school year is worse that the last. People make rude comments about everything I say in class, even though I’ve done nothing to them. Everyone I really cared about has graduated, leaving me here with a bunch of kids who want nothing more than to get high or drunk to have fun. I don’t want to be like them, I can’t… I’m going to go cut, I’ll try to keep the cuts small…

Fear not. Graduate. Call your fiancé; you will not deprive him of anything unless you harm yourself. He is your fiancé because you mean something to him. So go. Call him. Become clarified and reassured. Do not cut if all it takes you to stop is just one phone call.
I agree with “Quiet”…. but I would add one more comment….
I think it is very unfair of you to lie to your fiance about how you are doing. If you have *any* hope for living…. *any* hope for a life with your fiance – then TRUST that person with the truth.
If they do not handle the truth – then they are not for you. If they do handle it – then not only do you have a ‘keeper’ – you also have someone who just may save you.
Best wishes to you.
