not valid
my mum says my self harm isn't even real and it doesn't matter.
I cut my self with scissors like my skin is paper but it doesn't turn into typical sh cut scars
Kinda makes me feel like even though I hurt myself it doesn't even matter and makes me do it more <3

Hi, I'm glad you came to 7cups to help yourself. I've been on the site every day for a while and its helped me a great deal. I was a cutter and think about it from time to time still but every since getting put on meds and therapy for the past 3 years I've improved a lot. Things dont seem so hard as they were and I feel happiness sometimes now. I decided to trust somebody and then went to the community resources center and asked for any kind of help I could get and i ended up in a veterans shelter for a year then got a subsidized apartment at a greatly reduced rate so now I am seeing things improve and its great trust me! Another thing that helped me was calling the suicide hot lines just to talk but once they convinced me to go admit myself to the hospital and that was the start of things improving.
Blessings, Day
thanks day,
That's an inspiring story and I hope my path follows similarly to that
@milly18668 You will have the same or better results if you focus on your goals and advocate for yourself. I love to write and sometimes I write mental health poems that describe what Im going through when I wrote them. Here is one that describes my mental health a couple years ago.
PERCEPTION
Perceiving what we believe in is deceiving and has no meaning as life's mistreating dishes out this beating leaving us bleeding.....
But we cant see it if we close our minds, and we cant think about this when we're blind, so walk away and you will find, a friend here waiting for a sign!
So take your time and organize whats on your mind and you'll find you're not really behind, so relax your eyes and realize you're fine just the way you are.
And you can reach for the stars, put cream on the scars and healing transpires.
The delusional parts only confuse our goals and corrupt our souls leaving us with a heart full of holes. Set goals now and your mind will see what closed eyes
have failed to believe, don't let sight deceive keeping us on our knees; throwing logic into the breeze.
Winds at your back excited, Winds of hope reignited me. Step by step confide so we can share secrets of life thinking "what could be" If we let it, if you hold
back you'll regret it.
There, Now I've gone and said it!
We hold ourselves down; Dirty on the ground I've found myself tormented and bound by invisibility. I've ignored all possibility, so I must set myself free
of a self-inflicted confined mystery that causes so much mind-bending mysery
Blessings, Day
