Same Sensations as Self Harm(Substitutes):

Snap a rubberband on where you normally cut. 

Rub an ice cube on where you would normally cut.

Draw on where you would normally cut with a red felt tip marker

None of these are permanent solutions, they are substitutes. Self harm is is not healthy and if you still feel the need to cut even after using these methods for a while you should seek professional health. There’s a better life out there, there is help out there.

Hey, im so sorry to bother you, but i saw your post and i feel like a really need to talk to someone... i had ed, i thought it was over (ive been 'healthy' for few years already). But today i vomitted again and i just feel... worthless and ugly.

talk to me, its why I’m here. and its going to be okay eventually. you are not worthless, that i can guarantee. i felt like that once. it takes a lot of time and effort, but you have to take the first step. thats the hardest, and you did. and i am proud of you. just remember, you have to take care of yourself, you will be your own friend for the rest of your life, treat yourself right.

i love you, but let me just let you in on what forced vomiting will do:

holes in your esophagus

rotting teeth

malnutrition

ulcers

it can make your heart stop

and a lot more but those are some of the worst

It is your turn to take control of your life

So you can be okay where you’re alone

To earn trust

To form healthy relationships with others

To become an inspiration

You will be healthier

To feel free

Because you deserve to be able to eat without feeing guilty

So you can experience emotions…

[howthingschanged]

you aren’t broken

this feeling doesn’t last forever

you don’t know what will happen next

you will meet new people

there is nothing wrong with you

more long hugs

giant sweatpants

suicide is final

hot showers on cold days

oversized sweaters

the smell after rain

ice cream

…

Take 100 deep breaths

Meditate

Cry, let it out

Listen to “What Makes You Beautiful”

Eat a piece of candy

Watch your favorite TV show

Talk to someone you love

Write down everything

Clean your room

Go for a walk

Dance.

Read a book

Draw on yourself

Know that help is available

Paint…

In class today, my teacher mentioned John (Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s transgender son), referring to him as ‘their daughter who wishes to be called a boy.’ I responded by saying ‘So you mean their son.’ He said ‘I will only refer to her as her real gender, because it’s my choice.’ And so I’ve decided to always refer to this teacher as Mrs. instead of Mr. and if they don’t like being misgendered, oh well, because it’s my choice,

Hi, I'm kind of at what feels like the end of the road. I feel like I should be totally satisfied with my life I have a boyfriend, and and okay home life but I'm miserable. I've been struggling with an eating disorder for the longest time. I'm starting to get worse and I really don't know what to do or who to talk to. My friends and family would be shocked if they found out this is what's going on. I don't know what to do to make myself happy anymore. I need it to get better. Please help.xxxx

stop right there. you just said something that makes me know you will be okay: “I need it to get better.”

it isn’t the end of the road, you have to believe that for it to be true. and don’t believe what others tell you, there is no marker for what should make you satisfied. having a good home and a boyfriend may make others happy, but that doesn’t mean it has to make you happy. those things, while important(to me at least) can not make you happy until you are happy with yourself. it sounds like, to me at least, that you aren’t happy with yourself. you need to learn to love yourself before anything. 

I know you don’t want to talk to your parents, but it’s time to. aside from the obvious fact that your eating disorder will kill you,you deserve to be happy. it will be hard, but you need to see a doctor. maybe talk to your doctor first if that is easier. talk to your physician and tell them what is going on, getting help will make all the difference and leading a healthy lifestyle will lead to a happy lifestyle. 

PS: I’m always here, we can always talk here or if you come of anon we can figure something else out. I’m here, don’t worry.

ombre hair, pierced eyebrows, bell bottoms, bobs, cat eye eyeliner and leopard pants are phases.

depression is not a phase it is a mental illness. do not confuse the two.

You are beautiful

When your hair gets all messy, it’s really funny

You look cute when you sleep

It’s kind of adorable how you rub your eyes when you’re sleepy

Your favorite celebrity cares about you

Your body loves you, you should return the favor

It makes me sad that you can’t see how…

[howthingschanged]

keep climbing, you’ll get stronger.

I will always be here.

i actually do not understand how people can hurt someone and not even feel a thing and go on about their day and ignore what they did. like yeah, i know i practically just platonically broke your heart and we’re supposed to be friends but hey i want to paint my nails and eat chocolate and make babies cry.
