Pain and suffering is my daily thing , so to deal with it all l hurt myself ....
AS much as the those conversation to find the better light in things , to be happy with what l do have or there are other options out there , l am NOT convinced and am done listening to others.
My safety plan sits in my emails where l do not refer back to it as l simply dont care to keep my self safe.
Do l have a plan ??????? That is yet to be decided and l dont know as such.
Such is life ........

Hello Evanthia, I'm sorry you are feeling like this, but there are people who want to listen and then try to understand your problem, simply because they might have been through similar circumstances and yes to harm yourself is a concerning issue because it seems as though you have no one you feel comfortable talking to, so I wonder whether this is the situation you're in.
Please have no fear in talking to us, we only want to help you.
Geoff.

You see the issue with calling , the counselors or on phone support try to convince you otherwise.
The list of alternatives are given , the last 4 nites l have been on the webchat distressed, l am mentally drained and stressed that l give up
I just cant deal with it all anymore.

So just putting this out there , its not normal to be sitting alone and have visual disturbances of bloodied knives, which is most of my day so far.
I have really tried to switch them off but l cant seem to win .
You see l havent self harmed in over 2 weeks now and my inner demonic self is crying out for pain ....
I dont know what to do other than wait till night time when everyone is asleep and get it done already...
