If and when you feel like hurting yourself, use a little self-control. Please. For us. Is it possible that you can find a better way to release your pain and frustrations? When I’m down and feeling horrible I write about it. I write poetry. I put down on paper exactly how shitty I’m feeling inside, and once I have it out and on paper I read it again and again while making slight changes and edits for clarity. When I’m done I have a finished piece of art that is beautiful and something that I can grow from and share with others to spark conversation. It’s an outlet and I hope you can identify something similar that would work for you. Hurting yourself is never the answer. When you feel like that please talk to someone and trust that the advice and encouragement they give will help you heal if you follow it.
