Good job staying strong around others. It’s attractive. However, it is also nice to have some friends who you can let your gaurd down with, and be real. Do you have anyone you can just chill with?

I don’t know how you feel, but if you feel like i do most of the time, i think i could help.

To hell with them. Sometimes you need to take care or yourself.

You need to try to control your thinking. When you have these negative thoughts, thoughts about cutting or begin thinking badly about yourself, you need to push them away. Get involved with something: a hobby, excercise, listen to music- to distract you. After time goes by, you will feel better.

Just take it easy. Focus on improving yourself, and your life. Let time pass. You will grow beyond these hard times. Use these negative thoughts to fuel the development of a skill. For instance, every time you feel bad, pick up a guitar. You will learn to play, and it will help you feel better. Then, in a few years, you will have survived this rough time, AND you will know how to play guitar, which is very sexy.

Sometimes it’s not about what you have to give to everyone :). Sometimes it is about what you have to give to yourself. Never sell yourself short, you may just think that you are one person, but sometimes that is all it takes to make a difference.

a good, high energy song may help.

You have to learn to recognize your thinking patterns. When you start to have bad thoughts, you got to say ‘Hey!’ and stop it. Might try using affirmations as well, if just to reverse your thinking.

yeah, listen to Send me on my way, by rusted roots. its a real uplifter, just dont watch the music video if you dont like hippies xD

Rythem Emotion from FFX2 is another good high energy song.

Man, we are all damaged goods. Everyone has regrets, you just got to choose whether or not you want to linger on these things, or let it strengthen you. We are all survivors. Just getting up in the morning, going to work, managing to smile… we should feel proud that we are able to do that. Life is hard! It’s hard for everyone, in some way or another. You gotta be tough.

Also never forget, tomorrow will always be what you make of it, try to be the best you that you can be. don’t let your past interfere with what you want to become

oh dear.
