I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to be writing. I'm not exactly sure how this is supposed to help. I know today was the first day I self harmed in 3 months and I know that I'm slipping back into dark habits which means I'm getting bad again. 


I know I'm tired of feeling stuck in my downspiral

hey there. I think that writing down and getting your feelings down and having others give advice is helpful! But it's okay to fall once in awhile, it's okay to feel that but do not make it a habit again. Tell yourself that you're strong and smart everyday, it's very important to have self love. Find something you love doing and don't care what others think of you or your passions and go from there. Everyone will always have an opinion on everything but do not let it get in the way of what truly makes you happy. So whatever it is you are going through I'm 1000% sure that if you put your mind, heart and soul into a passion of yours without any care of what others think you will truly be happy!! You do you and ALWAYS stay positive no matter what is going on.

Its good that you are reaching out. I find it comforting to know that there are people here ready to lend an ear to listen to our situations, and offer the support and understanding we need. Also sometimes somone will have some advice, or say something that helped them get through these darkest hours.
