Advice?
I have friends but they're done with me cuz I have a police case going on cuz I was raped. Teachers somewhat. Just cutting is the only way I still feel alive. Feel worth anything
I understand how you feel. I myself cut for years. I felt so alone and worthless so I cut to help me feel something. I had parents who hated me and friends that would think I was nothing but a drama whore. I hear where you are coming from.
The only problem with cutting is that it's a short term solution to a long term problem. The cuts make you feel so alive but then it is so hard to quit. It causes a whole other problem in itself.
Taking control of your life is so much more fufilling. It may not feel good immediately. You will hate not cutting you will want it so bad but when you can stand up for the first time and say I know when I can get out of here and I will it will feel wonderful. I mean it. I've been there.
I promise you it won't last forever and maybe someday you'll even look at yourself and see how beautiful I know you are. You just need to hold on. Everything will be okay.
Dear Hope and Faith,
Please try the Butterfly Project. It has helped a lot of people like yourself.

The Butterfly Project
THE RULES:
1. When you feel like you want to cut, take a marker or pen and draw a butterfly on wherever the self-harm occurs.
2. Name the butterfly after a loved one, or someone that really wants you to get better.
3. NO scrubbing the butterfly off. It has to come off of your body naturally.
4. If you cut before the butterfly is gone, it dies. If you don’t cut, it lives.
5. If you have more than one butterfly, cutting kills them all.
6. Another person may draw them on you. These butterflies are extra special. Take good care of them.
7. Even if you don’t cut, feel free to draw a butterfly anyways, to show your support. If you do this, name it after someone you know that is suffering right now, and tell them.
8. Try keeping track of how many butterflies have successfully flown away. It will give you a sense of accomplishment and strength.
Be strong! We're here with you.
Just the bullying that don't see the whole story it was rape not consensual sex. I hate it. My mom hates me cuz of it. I just... I just don't know what to do
I'm sorry I'm not set for helping with relief for everything but I can try to help you with the cutting. The police are on your side it sounds like. They'll get justice for you. That's all I dare to say on it.
What I do know is that you're here now and you need help in more ways then one. We can help you on this site in many different ways you simply need to be patient and wait for the right people to come who can help you. Right now my only focus is keeping you safe and giving you someone to talk to if you need me. If someone else can help they can take over it just seems you need someone right now and I'm here for you.
Hi Hope & Faith! I wish you were feeling feeling better and stronger sweetie. Most people will not stand by a criminal whether a friend, family, police officer, boyfriend, best friend, or any body. This is wrong and against the law, which you know. For your friends boyfriend to cut her and almost kill her is criminal. Kimmy I love the butterfly project instructions. Great support. Hi Bkidd! Hope you are doing well.
Hope & Faith, remember you Have Choices in any given circumstance. At Least 3. They are all yours and only Yours to use. Give Yourself a Xmas present baby and take the appropriate action! love ya!!! Have a good day tomorrow!smile
we are all here to help you. I dont know all the feelings you have but I am also a recovering self harmer. I was also raped. I know it is very hard to work through. You need to go to the people that ARE there for you. If they don't support you, try not to let their opinions get to you so much. I know you cant just be like oh that didn't hurt at all but realize you are amazing, beautiful, and I know you can beat this :)

I'm so happy you came to this website. We are happy to help you in any way we can. The important thing at the moment is that you don't believe what has been said to you. You are beautiful and wonderful. I believe that you are strong enough to get through this and suicide is not the way you're going to go.
Is there anyone you can turn to for support? It can be teachers friends a school nurse or even your father? You need someone who is there with you on your side. I'm here for you completely but there's only so much I can do you need to help me help you okay?
Get yourself out of the situation if she does anything to hurt you and don't turn to hurting yourself. I'm here for you dear you aren't alone.
All in the name of honesty.
