Day Two

[powrrlesspotato]

Was sleepless last night. I've been awake for nearly a full day now. School is such a pain for me now. Mom says she has faith in me that I can get through his tough schedule situation. I hope so...

People saw my scars on my wrist today and I got mixed reactions. One person was shocked and immediately asked if i was okay. Others just looked and widened their eyes. I haven't heard any total negative comments yet, but I'm sure they'll come.

I hope this week goes by so fast. I'm already so done with it.

Thanks. Because you mentioned school I was a bit concerned you were under age for this site as the minimum age is 16.

You do need to seek help as cutting is a red flag that you need it. You are old enough to go to the doctors and ask for it to be confidential if you don't want your parents to know. Don't wait make the appointment asap. x

it will get better for you. You are making it to school thats the first step. that is awesome. school guidance counselors i find most of them arent helpful unfortunately. you need to seek a couselor outside of school and a support group. youd be surprise how many kids that go to your school will most likely go there. my daughter goes to therapy at an office in our town. first visit the lobby had 4 kids from her grade there. she always thought she was the only one. not so. unfortunately unfortunately too many kids these days have same issues. being in therapy has helped her. she always thought everyone was talking about her when ever she missed school. i told her the other kids have thier own crap to deal with they dont have time to talk about your business. if they do ask how you are felling or why you were out its honestly more concern for your well being and not to be nosy and talk behind your back. besides im sure by friday something else in school will have happened and people will have forgotten you were out. i have to say though keep uo the good work. keep going to school. great things will happen for you. dont give up. it will get better.
