One of the more serious sides of mental health that people avoid to talk about.
So, I self harm, At least once a week normally more so on a bad week. Small deep cuts that I let bleed.
It's hard for self harmers to talk about it simply because of the stigma that people put on it. They think you are seeking attention and that you are stupid for doing it. They don't understand the release that comes from doing it, the quietness that descended, the wall that builds up blocking out all the hateful words running through your mind. The also don't get that it is a physical manifistation of the cuts and scars that are covering your broken mind.
So, I'm a self harmer, I am suicidal but I am still here and still fighting and that is all I can ask for right now.
