Today is Self-Injury Awareness Day. 

If you struggle with this, please know that you are not alone. Know that you are not a freak, you are not over-dramatic, you are not an immature attention-seeker. You are also not your struggles. You are a human being with very real feelings. We are sorry beyond words for your pain but we have the privilege of letting you know that hope is real. You don’t have to feel this way forever. Rescue is possible. People like us are living it everyday and you are strong enough and worth enough to get here. Take a chance and reach out today. We are with you.

A quote from Marya Hornbacher (via elysium)

(via twisted-savior)

What I know is this: I chose recovery. It was a conscious decision, and not an easy one. That’s the common denominator among people I know who have recovered: they chose recovery, and they worked like hell for it, and they didn’t give up. Recovery isn’t easy, at first. It takes time. It takes more work, sometimes, than you think you’re willing to do. But it is worth every hard day, every tear, every terrified moment. It’s worth it, because the trade-off is this: you let go of your addiction, and you get back your life.
You matter. Each day you have the opportunity to forget the past and influence this world for good. Tell your story and love people. It’s how we fight the darkness.

We’re in this together. Your future holds brighter days. Don’t let go.

AskerAnonymous asked:
My depression been getting worse lately. My boyfriend of two years has begun to just be worn out and doesn't know what to do. He says it's like I'm never there and I used to be very enthusiastic and he used to be more passionate towards me. I feel bad, because I always blame him and put everything on his shoulders. It seems like the only time I cut is after we fight, which stems from him just getting stuff off of HIS shoulders. It's like; I can, but he can't. I've been kinda suicidal lately, too
