Ill say that whatever you think is bad enough to cut or hurt yourself over can be fixed with help. There are many services out there. And if you think this is coming from someone who doesn't know, oh I know. I cut for 15 odd years and have the scars all over my arms to prove it. If anyone has read any of my stories I go into detail about mental illness because I have many myself.

People need to realize that these thoughts and actions don't make you a freak or a emo kid, they mean you have issues and as always there is a solution for your issues. The best one for me is talking to someone who is 100% out of your situation, who has gone through it, or is a professional. I see a shrink and am proud to admit that to anyone that ask's because you should never be embearassed of trying to better yourself or improving your way of life.

Also there are plenty of place out there that will help you for free. I really implore you if you are having troubles to look for help. Nothing is worth hurting yourself or worst. Trust me NOTHING!!! I cant tell you to stop because Im still dealing with my demon's but please atleast seek help.
