It wasn’t a suicide attempt, it was an escape from everything awful. When we cut, we’re in control - we make our own pain and we can stop it whenever we want. Physical pain relieves mental anguish. For a brief moment, the pain of cutting is the only thing in the cutter’s mind, and when that stops and the other comes back, it is weaker. Drugs do that too, and sex, but not like cutting. Nothing is like cutting.

Being taken advantage of.
It’s the worst feeling ever. You’re too nice, so people think it’s okay to take advantaged of you. People only act nice to you because they want something. Then the next thing you know, they’re out of your life like that. When they meant something special to you, but you didn’t mean shit to them. I’ve been taken advantaged of so many times, I hate it.
I make a list like this every day. I hope it inspires all of you to hang in there.
