Regret

Everyone makes mistakes in life, and regretting them is a normal reaction to have. But you can't let it fester and consume you.

Making "What-if" scenarios in your head, constantly racking yourself with guilt, and exaggerating the impact of whatever action you took or had taken against you.

All of these are ways your brain can trick you into hating yourself for being a victim. Please remember that.

Always try your best to move on from your mistakes and blunders. It's the present that matters and it's the future you can change. Every day you go on, is a testament to your courage and bravery. Never forget that.

My story

Welcome to my blog.

All of this blog has Trigger Warnings for Self Harm, this post additionally mentions Suicide and Toxicity.

I will post semi-frequently.

The purpose of this blog is to provide encouragement and awareness to those suffer with addiction to NSSI. (Non-Suicidal Self Injury)

Be it cutting, bruising, or burning, NSSI shows itself in many ways.

I, personally, was a victim of it myself around a year and a half ago.

I was in a violent, toxic circle of friends whomst encouraged it heavily. Unfortunately, I was part of the crowd who fed into our delusional mindset that telling people to SH would somehow help them. Because of my own foolish actions, along with the actions of others, two people I grew a great bond with in that circle committed suicide. I work every day to fix that mistake.

I hope to provide a place of comfort and care to those whomst suffer from NSSI. I seek to give tactics and advice.

If you wish to be given advice or simply want someone to listen, do not be afraid to drop anything into my ask box.

A reminder

Trigger Warnings for mentions of SH

To all of those struggling with SH, there is a road out of this even if you doubt there is one.

I wish I could say that the scars on you could disappear but they can't. But instead of taking them as a sign of weakness, take them as a sign of growth.

For the sake of yourself and everyone you love. Make sure to love yourself and all of the damage you have endured and survived. You are a survivor of an addiction, and every day you go on is a sign of your strength.

Wether you're in the vicious cycle of addiction or recovering still after being clean for a long time. You are strong for carrying on in spite of it. Do not let anyone convince you otherwise.

You aren't an attention seeker. You aren't edgy. You are a victim of a deadly addiction, and every day you live is a testament to the human spirit.
