I am 25 years old and have been suffering with mood swings, depression, and anxiety since I was...

Right now, it looks like I have a rash on...

It's been 10 1/2 months since I last cut.

Temporary Feeling? (March 5, 2011)

There’s a star for each time
my heart’s been broken in surrender.
And if I could cry

I’ve felt...

I posted this in the SI thread before, but I thought I'd repost in a thread that more people will see... since this subject isn't just SI related.

Insane

Insane (February 28, 2010)

To think I put my faith in hope
I must have been insane
to think that anybody cares;
to think that anybody feels my pain.

Here am I with my burdens

Heart Purpose (November 30, 2009)

Finding myself again
alone with no purpose.
There's no reason to hope.
My dreams are just worthless.

What can I do?

Can my simple prayers and...

Even clear polish is out? What if you get one of those cheap ($1.00 at Walmart, etc) 7-way nail buffer things. That way you can take the time to file, smooth, buff, and shine the nails. Heck, while...

788 Days Clean... Why isn't it any easier?

I'll admit it. I'm not one of those people who spent years cutting in secrecy. When I was younger, I had some tendencies. I used to pull out my hair, or when I was nervous/stressed (especially in 7th...
