It's Started Back

[The Batman]

My life is spiraling out of control, I'm under a huge amount of stress and pressure. I don't usually cry over this stuff but it's taken everything I could to hold back the tears all day. My school sent me an email saying that until I can pull my grades up I'll be paying for my classes out of pocket. I have to come up with at least $700 in 3 days. It just seems that no matter what I try to do something worse happens. I cut and since then it's all I can think about doing. I want to feel it so bad but I just can't keep doing that to myself. I've thought about ending so many times and it got to the point where I even wrote out my suicide note, which isn't the first time I've written one. My mom threatened to leave today, said she just didn't give a damn anymore and was ready to go. I was suppose to go see my nephew today but I didn't have the gas money to give my cousin so she wouldn't take me. I don't want to end my life and I don't want to cut, but I'm just starting to feel it's either one or the other. What do you do when life gives you no other options?

Well, I just remember that I've got to have some perspective in life: no matter HOW bad things seem for me, there is always someone out there who's living a much harder life; people all over the world who don't have luxuries such as an education and an internet connection, and who would LOVE to be in my position.

Tom, I know that you have been through a lot lately and throughout your life. Sometimes in situations where it feels as though acts are impossible that the best happens. Everything happens for a reason, but don't let whats happening in your life now provoke you to cut no matter how bad it gets. You're a very strong person and I know you can pull through this.

This school situation seems like quite the jam, but maybe there is a way you could get a pell grant of some sort or a loan where there is a will there is a way. When life throws me curve balls and I feel like I have no options I act as if it were impossible to fail. I start exploring new ways and I step back take a deep breath and I find out everything I can do.

Tom, like I said in the beginning even though you've been handled quite the situation don't let it turn you to the point to cut you're so much better ad stronger than that. I know you can overcome all of this. Tom you know even though you and I have had some rough bumps in the road you should know that I'm always going to be here to help. Don't ever feel like your alone in this. You're truly great Thomas you can do it. If you ever want to talk you know how to get a hold of me as always with much love.
