to all self harmers

to all the self harmers out there. I know what its like too turn your emotional pain into physical pain. I know what it like to get the blade, boiling hot water, or nails and put it to your skin. to cry at night because no one understands you. to cry at night because everyones worrying about you and its putting stress on your relationships. I know what its like to hate yourself for it until the h...ate gets that bad you cut again. I know what its like. I know all about battling the addiction when you sit there and day dream about the next time you will self harm, what you will use, were you will do it, and how you will do it. I know what its like to self harm. its horrible. I just don't understand how people can laugh at it. how people can make jokes. until your in that situation until your there and you've done it maybe then youll understand why people don't like people laughing at it. I know not many people understand self harm because for most people its kept like some kind of 'dirty little secret' but it's not. self ahrm can happen to anyone and the person you wont think will self harm probably has or still is. I hope one day everyone understastands about self harm and the pressure it puts on people, because maybe just maybe if people understand maybe all the laughing and jokes about self harm will stop.
