Self-mutilation & Suicide

[SorrowEternal]

Well I've been cutting & burning myself since I was in 3rd grade. I did it to distact myself from the way I felt emotionally. I've never had a close family, they said I made them look bad when I cut myself. They always told me to be quiet about the way I felt, so I don't usually talk to anyone about it. I recently stopped self-harming about 12 days ago, due to an agreement I made to a friend, but now I feel like I want to die everyday. I have attempted suicide in the past eight times in total, & I don't know how much I can take before attempting it again. The only thing keeping me from suicide is, first, I made an agreement with a friend, second, I don't want to hurt the people that truly do care.

I completely understand, my entire life my family has been negative and made it hell.

But to get over it, just learn to love yourself, love your friends, and appreciate everything they do for you. I guarantee they care about you, so try your best to keep your agreement with your friend. :)

Trevor, I understand completely. It's really tough to give up your coping method and it's unfair that your parents are like this.
Your friend probably doesn't understand how hard it is to quit, especially when you've been at it for so long, so instead of going cold turkey maybe just wean yourself off.
Also, if you EVER need some support or anything, I'm right here :hug:
Stay strong :heart:
