Your not a horrible person and u dont deserve to die for doing it, u dont do it purposely to hurt other people, u do it to make the hurt go away from u because there is no other way. I cut myself because i get so frustrated and i have no other way, its like a punishment to me and it takes away the hurt at the same time. Do u think when your mum blames herself you do it more to punish yourself? because your mums just scared it can be a big shock to them, but that doesnt mean she thinks any less of you. I have tried doing things which still give me the same feeling like punching a pillow until im worn out, it realises the anger, or geting an elastic band and putin it on my wrist and snap it, it hurts but yet u have no scar, its a start to get out of the routine? i hope this helps, if u need to talk message me anytime x

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
