All my life, since i was 6, my father mentally and physically abused me. It never really hit me till 2 years ago. I went in deep depression and i just shut down. I attempted to commit suicide twice, but i never really could do it. I guess i was scared to leave, or maybe i just didn’t have the guts. So i turned to cutting. This year has been the worst for me. Everyone that has said they were going to stay, left. So i have just shut everyone out. I don’t have many friends because i shut them up before they have a chance to hurt me. Its hard for me to trust, actually i don’t really trust at all. My heart is broken and im not sure if it’ll ever get better. I have thoughts of suicide everyday. I cant sleep at night because im scared of my dreams, but at the same time when i do sleep i always wish i would never wake up. I’ve tried to stop cutting by wearing a rubber band, but it seems that the urge is getting more and more intense. I find myself popping the rubber band every time something freaks me out or upsets me. I know eventually people will find out, and im afraid to face that. My mom knows that i have thoughts about suicide, but she never comments on it because she said its just a phase, but a phase doesn’t last for as long as this has. I’m lost and im scared, and ive tried so hard to break away from this, but i just cant and i don’t think i ever will.

I’m right there with you.
My dad used to beat the shit outta of us…but he also used to say that we’d never amount to anything and we were useless…he’d criticise everything we did. I grew up thinking I was useless and valueless. Then when people o met started to treat me the same way I just now believe it to be true. Deep down I feel that I’m worth more than that but then people just treat me the same way again and I just believe them and give up. I’ve given up. But then I’ll be dead soon so it doesn’t matter anyway.
