I noticed a lot of views, but one reply...
tough subject? or just not of intrest? dunno.
don't care.
In my teens years self-harm was my specialty.
I loved making physical pain, it was my way of dealing
with and showing mental and spiritual pain.
for nine years i dealt with trich,
i always bit my nails and lip,
scratched open everything to bleeding,
i was always pulling off insane stunts 'cause i was suicidal,
in my later teens i started cutting my arms and face
i gave myself numerous piercings (18ithink) by just jabbin' them in,
probably some more stuff i don't remeber...
oh yea, i was always mistaken for a male.
anyways, i struggled with all this at a crazy rate, until i met my best friend
who saw past my "tough boy act" and began to show me i was somebody,
that what other people thought didn't matter. he constantly reminded me
being in God's will was all that really mattered, and that God Don't make Trash
(which i thought i was). as this slowly sunk in, i pretty much made a 360 life
turn around. (i admit i'm not finished though).
To get out of my mess of "self-harm" I had to realize and accept
my true worth to God , and surprisingly, other humans in my life.
(I hadn't realized what i did hurt them)
i don't know if there's anyone else out there like me,
but i'm glad i've been through all that, so hopefully i can help someone else.
God Bless and Save
