i am 18 years old, and today i am 3 years clean from cutting myself. i had no one to share it with, so i decided to post it here. my parents know i used to cut myself, but they don't know when i stopped exactly. they never spoke to me about it ever again since they found out nor did they take me to see a psychologist, they just pretended it never happened and moved on while i did not. well, it took me a while before i decided to stop cutting, and i eventually did. on January 15th 2015, i threw away all my blades, took a fresh shower and decided to start over.
my depression is not quite gone, nor is my anxiety, if anything, they're getting worse. I still see suicide as an answer, but i know it's not.
I've been through so much lately, and my parents are not making it easier for me. I've been fighting with them recently up to a point where my mother disowned me, just so that my brother would not tell my father about something I did. (about a guy i dated recently, which in my culture is like getting laid and pregnant at 13)
anyway, i know this is not poetry, nor is this something inspiring or good, i just hope everyone is doing great, i needed to let this out, i know at least someone will read this. have a nice day wherever you are. and if you needed a sign to STAY ALIVE, this is IT.
