I want to know why?
!
Why does cutting yourself make everything seem ok? Why is it that I’m ashamed to show my arms yet can’t get enough of actually hurting myself? Why can’t I stop hurting myself? Why is it that I hurt others when I don’t even mean to? Why is it I can’t even take my own advice? Why isn’t anyone listening?

life is hard. those are all questions you learn on your way through life. sometimes hurting someone by accident just happens, it doesn’t make you a bad person and you don’t need to hurt yourself.
taking you own adivice is a skill and its hard. but try writing it down and reading it over and over. or imagine you were a friend instead of your self and wat you would tell them in that case.
people are listening. i’m listening. tell me, wat exactly is wrong here?
It’s hard to explain really with out sounding completley pathetic! It’s just that I feel upset all the time and don’t know why. Most of it is my family but I don’t want to blame them for everything. I feel this way. They don’t. IDK…I’m just a mess I guess :/
I just don’t know how to get everything out with out everyone knowing everything…if that makes scence :?
you definitly will not sound pathetic so don’t worry about that. i wouldn’t judge wat you say at all. yeah i get te feeling of not knowing why i’m upset either, it’s a real pain i know. you definitly not a mess just confused, happens to the best of us.
yeah i think i get it. well why don’t you just tell the parts you want to tell and feel are the most important to get out?

Ok, well, IDK really its just a whole lot of things I guess. I moved in with my mom,her husband and my brother and they are super crazy! Seriously they are really violent and scream and yell all the time. The police have been here like a gazillion times since I’ve lived here and it’s only been like 2 years. I can’t afford to move out on my own other wise I would. I don’t want to leave my little brother her tho because I don’t think it’s a healthy environment for him. My mom tries to pawn him off on me to do all the parently stuff with him. I don’t really mind most the time because we do get a long really well even with a 7 year age difference (I’m 23) but it’s like he needs a mom and a dad and that IS NOT me! Its like if I don’t do these things **** hits the fan and everyone gets pissed off. no one even talks to me unless they want something from me. I live down stairs while everyone else is upstairs and on one ever comes down to see me. The only way I see anyone is if they come down stairs to ***** about the other one or if my brother needs a ride….sorry this is soooo long ;/ IDK theres a ton more stuff but this is the one thats been on my mind lately I gues I just feel really used and alone.
hmm tough story. i’m sorry things are hard between you and your family but hurting yourself will not solve anything.
do you have a job? maybe you could work for a while than move out. or maybe even stay with a friend perhaps?
i’ve never been in this type of situation but i’ll try to understand and help as much as i can =] don’t worry about bothering me because you not at all
Yeah I have a job and all and try to save as much as I can. It’s hard because I’m helping my mom with stuff financially. I do have freinds I could stay with but it’s again with the bothering thing. THey say I’m not bothering them either but I still feel that I am anyway! I know hurting myself isn’t something that will solve whats going on witht them. I guess it’s just something that helps me when no one else will. Ehhhh, IDK
Thanks for talkign to me I have to go, I’ll figure things out eventually….Thanks tho:) i appreciate the conversatoin!
well if your friends say your not bothering them and you can stay then try that for a while and see ow it works out. yeah i know what you mean with the cutting thing… its hard i know… no problem, i hope you figure everything out =]
