I really don’t know what to do to help me feel any better, so I made this to share my story. I’ve cut since 6th grade and and was anorexic in 7th and never had anybody there to help me. I was really bad. I have over 60 scars all over my body and you can see all my bones. I can’t trust myself with scissors or anything with a sharp or hard edge. When I feel embarrassed or need to do something I pretend to stab myself in my stomach, or in my neck, bang my head against the wall, or think of death. I’m afraid if I have a knife in my hand I’ll forget and possibly kill myself. I feel so scared of myself it doesn’t help that I dream of dying all night. not the normal ones were you wake up before you die. the ones were you watch yourself be eaten my the zombies or see yourself splatter at the bottom of the cliff. It was terrifying. Also If I didn’t have a knife near me when i was feeling depressed I’d use my nails or indent my skin with a pencil. Sometimes I didn’t know I was doing it. Most of it was subconscious, but even when I found out what I was doing I wouldn’t stop myself. It now scares me so much that I was doing it unknowingly, I’ve even chocked myself for minutes before knowing I was even doing it. I met this guy and he was the first help I’ve ever gotten. It was too good to be true that he cared about me. That he didn’t want me to hurt, or feel any pain. He helped me through so much. He broke up with me four days ago. He made me promise I wouldn’t hurt myself, and I don’t know if I can keep it. I feel all alone again. my friends don’t understand, and I can’t tell my dad or he’ll just send me to some stupid rehab or off to Illinois with my mom and step-dad. I’ve thought about suicide, but I just cant get myself to break the promise. The only thing I’ve done since the break up was bite a hole in my lip to keep from crying. I don’t know what I’m gonna do. I’m alone in a world of color where I’m only the grey speck in their stupid happiness rainbow.

It’s okay I have those kinds of dreams too. I dreamt of being eaten alive by insects where I could actually feel them going into every orifice of my body. I had dreams of being gored by wild animals most dreams it’s being ripped apart by a pack of wolves. Some dreams it’s being mauled by a bear or lion. In one dream I was being gored to death by a giant wild boar and in none of my dreams is the pain spared. I’m afraid to sleep anymore I usually try to only sleep one night out of the week. I think the scariest dream I had was being lock in a room of mirrors all the mirrors fell to the floor and the glass shattered and all the pieces rose up in the room and began pierced my body until I was completely dismembered and then continued to cut me into smaller and smaller pieces and I was not spared any of the pain. Sometime the pain I’ve felt giving birth to my son is a minor cut compared to my dreams.
I like that “I’m alone in a world of color where I’m only the grey speck in their stupid happiness rainbow.” It’s exactly how I feel right now.
And I also use my nails when nothing else is available, or I’m with friends and feeling the urge. I didn’t notice I was doing it at first until I was watching a movie with my friends and I looked down and my hand was mutilated. I used a ruler once, to carve my name into my skin and my friends all thought it was weird but cool. I just told them I was bored.
Now I don’t even have friends to notice things like this.
