Hope In a Dark Place

Everyone has demons and dark places that they fight on a continuous basis. But as long as you keep fighting, it will get easier. Life gets better.
You say that you don’t like anything about yourself. Well we should change that. Every day, look at yourself in the mirror and say one nice thing about yourself. Wether it’s if you like your hair, or you know your caring towards people Ect. Say at least one thing everyday. Write it on a post-it note and stick it on the mirror to remind yourself.

Being social is whatever your comfortable with. Having a certain number of people that you know and hang out with them probably won’t make you feel better. Do you have a best friend? 1 best friend is more important than having 20 friend your social with.

Try not to be too critical of yourself. You’re beautiful and you’ve come this far. Keep going.

May I ask you exactly what upsets you to such an extthree that makes you feel this way?
It’s my personal opinion that even snapping rubber band on your wrist is a form of self harm. Using something sharp to replace that is also in my opinion, a way to self harm. Wether it be cutting yourself, hitting yourself, pulling out hair, burning, hitting walls or snapping a rubber band- its not healthy and there are other means to get rid of that tension and overwhelming emotion out; without harming yourself. I encourage you to not continue down destruction. Take it from someone who knows- once you sink in the dark hole, it’s almost impossible to get out.

Try healthier alternatives. Talk to someone you trust. Wheyher it be a therapist, a friend, sibling or tumblr friend. Scream it, yell it, write it down and burn it. Take a step outside and just breathe. Go for a run or jog. Turn on music and dance or jam out. Color or distract yourself with a craft.
Remember that no one deserves to hurt you in anyway. Including yourself. I’m always here if you need to talk.
Hang in there darling
