Do you need someone to talk to ? Do you need to be listened ? Don't hesitate, send me a message at imthereforyou@live.ca and I will answer you as soon as possible :) Here's a message that I received a long time ago. I hope that it can help some of you who have the same problem :)

'' Hi. I'm sorry to bother you but I need to talk to someone and I have a lot to say. But before I begin, I would just like to let you know that I love your blog. It's made me feel better and it's given me hope many times. I think it's very kind that you do all of this.

Okay so now I'll begin with what I really need to get off of my chest. (Sorry it's such a long , stupid story)

I used to cut myself, a lot. And a few months ago, This guy I have liked for a very long time asked me out. When he did, I promised him and myself that I would never cut myself again. Well the other day I was really d epressed and I couldn't stop thinking about suicide. I knew I had to make myself feel better before I actually killed myself. So, I cut myself. Well, I was talking to my boyfriend later that day and I felt the need to tell him what I did. So, when I did he seemed really upset/angry. He hasn't been acting the same since I told him. And my thoughts of suicide have increased by a lot. I also haven't been able to forgive myself for breaking a promise and hurting the one I love. Anyway, Everyday I put on a f ake smile and hope no one notices. But every night, I hold a knife to my throat, Scream and cry. I'm really not sure what to do. I want kill myself so badly so I won't suffer anymore, But I don't want the few people I love to suffer because of me killing myself. I have so many other problems, But I don't want to bother you with the rest of them. I just needed to tell someone, maybe get some advice. Thank you, and I'm sorry for the long. stupid story once again. ''

Hi :),

 

Thank you for the compliment and I'm really happy that my blog has made you feel better, this is a real reward for me to know that :)!

 

First of all, let's be clear : you really really really don't bother me sweetie. Your story is not stupid and you don't have to be sorry, I'm just so glad that you trust me enough to tell me your story, it's really flattering :).

 

I want you to know that your boyfriend was angry because he loves you. He don't want you to suffer. And don't forget that it's really hard for people to understand cutting... I think you should tell him exactly what you told me. In this way, he will understand how you feel.

 

About suicide, please, don't do that... I know that you're sad and depressed, but I swear, everything will be okay, trust me. I know that's easier said than done, but you have to trust me.

 

''Be strong now, because things will get better. It might be stormy, but it can't rain forever.''

 

I had a science teacher 2 years ago who told us that when he was a teenager, he wanted to kill himself, but he did not because someone told him ''If you kill yourself, it's as if you multiply your pain by 1000 and you give it to all those who care about you and love you.'' And you know what, that's true. Think about your family, you friend, your boyfriend and me. If you kill yourself, we will all be sad, as you are now. Don't do this to us...

 

I know how things can be difficult, but you have to live for a better tomorrow, hoping things will get better, because they eventually get better, I swear. Find hope in the positive aspects of your life, hang on to these positive things, this is what will save you and make you feel better.

 

If you want to tell me all your other problems, I'm there for you and you don't bother me sweetie. I hope I helped you a little bit... :) Stay strong. And forget suicide, I beg. I love you!
