Incest Survivors Support Group
Incest refers to any sexual activity between closely related persons that is illegal or socially taboo. Consensual adult incest is very rare. Incest between adults and prepubescent or adolescent children is a form of child sexual abuse that has been shown to be one of the most extreme forms of childhood trauma. If you or a loved one is a survivor of incest, join the group...

Hold onto your life with all you have. You'll never know the joys life can bring you if you end your life. Believe me, when you find someone who understands and accepts you even knowing about the abuse, you will feel enourmously happy. Happier than if it never happened to you because you've dealt with it the other way, by yourself.
Do you want to be a cutter? Do you want your life to be hiding your scars, coping each day by making another cut? You have to be strong and demand more from your life. You are better than cutting. You are better than suicide. You are a strong and worthwhile human being. You are NOT your abuse. Don't give them the power to snuff out your life or keep you hidden in the dark making a cut.
If you feel like this, call someone. Find a counselor or a friend that will be your safety net. You have to find someone that makes you feel safe in these situations. If you don't have someone, try and cultivate that relationship NOW before you reach this point again.
Journal. Write down how you feel until it is released.
You are strong. Just keep saying that. You are strong. Stronger than the abuse. Stronger than the urge to kill yourself. Stronger than the urge to cut. At the first sign, the first thought, pull out your journal, record the impulse and journal until you feel better. Keeping track of this will let you know how you are feeling and as you re-read through it, you'll start to see patterns. It will help you be self-aware and help your help when you get through it.
If you have tried these things before, you have to re-try, change your mindset, keep at it. Think of suicide as an emotional hole. You won't see daylight for awhile, but if you continue to climb, you'll get out of the hole.
Thank you for caring.
