I have been sexually abused, fighting with depression, heartbreak, anxiety, and ptsd one day at a time. Im trying to stay clean from my addiction: cutting

Hey there girlie. I am so sorry to hear you’ve been through all of that. I have been through all of that as well. I’ve never been a cutter, but I have been addicted to taking the pain away whether it be with drugs, alcohol, or sex. We are all here for you. I’m so glad you’ve come to this site. We are a very supportive group of people all going through similar things. Keeping fighting the good fight. We are all here fighting with you. Stay strong. xo

Hi Hannahallison. I'm so sorry to hear you have had this terrible experience. It's such a hard thing to come to terms with. I myself have had some similar experiences and I think one of the things that really goes deep is the sense of shame it creates in a person. I once watched this TED talk on the matter by Brené Brown. Have you seen it? If not, here's a link if you want to watch it. ted.com/talks/brene_brown_l...

Hey hannaallison101 so glad you shared with us. I actually pick my scalp so bad that it bleeds. I understand the addiction with wanting to just feel “something “ and I guess we like pain.

We have to think of our bodies as something to nurture and take care of. Our minds might be torturous at times but it’s not fair to punish our bodies. I’ve been trying to stop picking. I think of myself taking care of this little girl inside of me. She doesn’t deserve this pain.

I know it’s hard but be gentle on yourself. Try distracting your compulsion to cut by writing about it, definitely talking on here and going for walks.

You’re in my thoughts 🤗

thank you i dont deserve people like you

[MariaLove123 in reply to hannaallison101]

You deserve everything good in this life. And I am not one you should ever not think you deserve. I’m a mess! Trust me. I have been suffering from everything for 20 years. I just watch my sister treat her body so well and I think we all should be trying to do that. You deserve to do the same and so much more!

[hannaallison101 in reply to MariaLove123]

no i dont

[MariaLove123 in reply to hannaallison101]

What is the one thing that would make you believe you deserve goodness?

[Hidden]

Oh yes you do! 😚

[hannaallison101 in reply to Hidden]

how?

[Hidden in reply to hannaallison101]

How do you deserve people chatting to you like we are chatting to you here? Well, clearly you have had some bad experiences and like any human being would, you need some love and support to help you get through it Hannahallison.

That's the whole thing with depression, it deludes you into believing that you are 'unworthy' of love, care or attention. But you are.

Did you paint that picture?
