I have been clean for 10 weeks, which is a tremendous achievement for me, as I’ve never gone for this long.
The only thing that comes with this, however, is the overwhelming urges, especially at this time, when emotional release is important right now. I struggle to find any other forms of emotional release, I really struggle.
I am receiving my exam result in a few days, and if I fail it will affect me hugely, I would’ve let down my parents, who have held me a high standard I have enjoyed working towards, but the pressure is immense now.
I am also caught in […]
Can I have some advice on how to tell a friend I have self harmed, and had depression?
I have tried before, in person and online, but one person ignored me and the other time I physically couldn’t get my words out. I have severe anxiety and have literally never talked to a single soul about troubles in my life willingly.
It is now, as I’m really trying to recover, that I think I can, and should talk to my closest friend. Thanks.
I had a lazy day just on my laptop today, and have been watching/ reading about things that fascinate me.
The main topic that caught my eye was the theories and thoughts surrounding solipsism and realism.
Solipsism is the thought/ belief that you are the only real thing. That the people you know, the information you’ve learned about history and research going on is just information ‘created’ for you (as if you’re in the matrix kind of idea).
Realism is that things exist whether you are here or not, and realism states that your perception of reality and the things that happen are false to […]
I think a lot of people judge a persons story on age – and I can absolutely see why.
I’m 16, and have been depressed like most, and taken it out on myself, I think before I knew what ‘self harm’ was. Not really bad. But as soon as my life started getting stressful, and more I ever thought I’d have to deal with (my parents split up at 13) just scratching at my arm or leg was a nice pain, and  a genuine distraction. What I’m trying to say from this is that young people these days cut because they think that’s what you need to do when […]
I’ve been at a real low for a long time now, and am trying to get back into the things I used to love, such as Youtubers and some of their sketches.

Just check out some of his sketches or even his vlogs. This man has brought a smile to my face. The first smile in a long time.
Whenever I think of the future, I can’t see anything hopeful. I just see me carrying out a tedious life, even though people tell me my future looks bright. I’m not failing, but trying hard to study and it seems to be paying off. Then go to uni. But afterwards I can’t see anything.
What if I don’t find something fulfilling to do?
I look at some people who lead normal lives, doing a little job that they are genuinely happy with, and I can never see myself being happy with anything, though I’ve said it to be a dream 1,000 times when I was […]
