:) im glad your getting better... when i was smaller i used to cry ALOT now i dont so much as bat an eye when sumthing sad happens... i feel sorry and want to help but im to shy to do anything and cutting to me replaces sadness and anger.. i dont like getting angry cus then i go deeper...and i rarely get angry :) so luckily its only lots of scars.... im proud of you!!!!! get well from JEEBS

You are right. Crying is a MAJOR step forward. It took me forever to relearn how to cry with tears instead of a blade. Allow yourself to cry. You have a lot of pain inside and it needs to come out. Be easy and gentle on yourself. This too will pass. :) ~Tracie

It's good to cry...really...it releases a lot of emotions that it feels good to get out...

And on a side note, tears kill bacteria that builds up in your eyes...sorry...random fact that I love to share...

i need to cry..i can't

the reason i have been is because
all my problems have become outside ones

normaly its an inside war and thats why the emotion was inside

i have been afected outside so much by events
that this time its not my fault at all
and i can even see that clearly

so i can feel sad without the self destuctive part

that is self balme or hate
