Feeling better

I haven’t posted in a long time but, I’m feeling a lot better. Since I have moved schools I have felt like I have a lot of friends and I have two friends that have hurt themselves and then I told them both it’s gonna be alright I been there I feel you. I’m trying to get them to stop and it’s...kinda...working! I am a 1 month clean and never felt better and healthier! Sometimes I feel like I am alone but then again I think about my school and how great it is. I used to feel everyday inside like I wanted to die and everything and hurt myself but now I’m so glad I haven’t done it in a month. It used to  be an addiction but I locked those blades up and never touched them again. But in the 1 month I am clean I tried to kill myself by overdosing but it didn’t work and I’m glad it didn’t work. Cause I wouldn’t be here typing this right now. So I hope everyone having problems i hope everything gets better.

I’m really happy to hear you are feeling better and have been free of self harm for a month. Do whatever it takes to continue down that path of healing. Stay connected with people, and take care of yourself. :)

Very happy to hear that you are feeling better and that you have been free of self harming for a month. Continue to stay on this path and you will be fine. You are a very good friend to your two friends who are self harming. You are setting a good example for them by getting better yourself. Good luck to you.

    It's National Doughnut Day!Which three would you like? (never mind the calories, fat, or sugar content; just go with what you would pick if none of that mattered and whatever health issues you might have that would keep you from eating one in real life can be cast aside for this exercise as well... have at it!)
