My life be like. Amazing Help Cutting Submit Secrets here!
The name's Lauren, and I'm a junior in high school. I'm 16 years young, and what people call a cutter. I want to stop cutting, but I'm not perfect, and that takes a while. I've tried to stop many times, but I always end up breaking it. I also am the lucky sufferer of depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and mild OCD. Lovely. I needed somewhere to write my story, and I picked this. Some things to know about me are that I'm a vegetarian, I have problems with food, I speak some french, I'm, I am going to save the world someday, I'm a dancer(about 13 years), I tend to be shy around those I don't know, I love to help people, I tell more lies than truths to people I know, and oh, I'll follow back:)

I want someone who will hold me and tell me it’s going to be okay.
Is this type of head normal for a baby? If not, what is it? Anybody with an idea I’d love to hear it :)

-41% of people believe that self-harm is selfish.
-55% of people believe that it is stupid.
-43% of people know someone that has self-harmed.
1 in 10 people have harmed themselves by the age of 16.
Self-harm does not make you suicidal.
It does not make you emo.
It is simply a way that many use to rid themselves of stress or pain or whatever it may be.
Over 3 million people in the US have self-harmed or still do.
Cutting is not just a girl’s disorder.
Anyone can do it.
Males, females, and persons that don’t fit into the gender binary.
And it is not just teens, either.
Both Princess Diana and Johnny Depp have gone through it.
The person who always seems “so happy” could be victim to it.
Anyone.
There are other forms of self-harm besides cutting or mutilation.
Some people don’t realize they’re doing it.
Some people don’t think it’s wrong.
Some people become addicted.
People don’t hide their cuts or marks hoping someone will find them
…unless they actually want help to get better.
It’s often hidden because they’re afraid of someone seeing.
An orange ribbon is used as a self-harm awareness symbol.
Those suffering from it..
…have been through it
…or support it
often wear one.
You do not have to have gone through anything like this to support it.
Sometimes all people want to know is that they’re not alone.
Don’t judge someone based on the marks they have on their arms.
You don’t know what they’ve been through.
Rather, be proud of them for making through it.
Life can be a bitch.
bless this post.
