ADVICE FOR YOUS!

I was shocked as a lot of people on this page were too about Jess. It broke my heart to know such a beautiful loving, amazing girl took her own life and is now out of our reach. This page was hers and it shows that she did want to help anybody that needed it. Don't feel disheartened now that she's gone because she does still care about everyone. Now everyone that is thinking about taking your own life, because you can't take it anymore and you think nobody cares? All you have to do is scroll down this page and look at all these loving comments about Jess. It goes to show that they all care about her? So even if you don't believe that people care about you; they do. We do.
Its so lifting to know that all these people will miss Jess as she was one of the nicest people I have ever spoken to, such a shame that I will never get to meet her in person. I wish I could of said goodbye, however I know she is watching us all. She would of wanted us to be happy not to be upset/angry.
Jess I love you. We love you.
You will NEVER be forgotten.
Rest In Peace beautiful.

Dear everyone,
Today is Self Harm Awareness Day. This is a day to remind yourself and anyone around you who has suffered or is suffering with this condition that things WILL get better. I promise you that. Self Harm is a mental and emotional condition, you cannot express yourself and your emotions build up and you take it out on yourself. Its when you hate yourself, whether its who you think you are, or how you look, or certain things about you that you hate, and so you punish yourself. I want you to listen to me right now, in all honesty, Each and every one of you is beautiful, amazing, unique, and special. You should never be displeased with who you are, and never try to be someone youre not. Dont be afraid to be yourself, and dont worry about what other people think, if they care, they dont matter, if they matter, they dont care. At times it might seem like youre completely alone, you are not. Even if you are physically alone, you can talk to your friends, or family, or even us, it may not be in person and we may not even know who you are, but youre never as alone as you feel. Today i want you to draw a Butterfly, or write 'Keep Fighting' on your wrist to show support to everyone still going through this, and to support everyone that has quit and managed to stick to keeping clean. Dont ever think you dont matter, it only takes one person to change the world, you might be that person. Dont ever think people dont care, because to the world you might only be one person, but to one person, youre the entire world! You are loved by so many, and they would do anything they can to help you. Today is about giving and showing support, please do what you can to help at least one person today, whether they self harmed or not. Im proud of each and every single one of you, you are the strongest people on this earth, and you should be proud that after every thing you have gone through, you are still here. I wish you all the best of luck for today, and the rest of your lives. Raise awareness for Self Harm, saving someone from self harming, is just as important as saving their lives. Kyran x

We're not going to tell you because you don't need to.
You do NOT need to just throw away your life. No matter how bad things get running away effects badly on everyone around you, even if your in such a state and your sick of being that strong person that everyone knows you for?
You don't need to pick up those pills, that razor, anything else. Because imagine how everyone would feel if you succeeded and your parents find you dead, and all they feel is emptiness. They would blame them self and think to " why didn't i see the signs " and everyone who ever said or thought a bad word would think its their faults. You are better than this,and you have so much more to live up to, to chase your dreams and succeed your goals. You life has so much more to live for, so don't give up yet. Don't throw it away like its that easy. Don't waste your time worrying about how everything went wrong and how you wish things never happened. Spend your time cherishing everything that made you smile, or laugh or happy. Because without them things you would of given up a long time ago! - harry x

After my Parents split up when I was three, my Dad moved in with the woman that he cheated on my Mum with. Now this woman was a alcoholic and so was my Dad but, she was also addicted to drugs. She had a violent temper.She was terrifying.She used to shout at her kids and I was always included in this. I barely stayed round, maybe once a month for one or two nights but she would include me. She would round us up in the huge bedroom that five of us girls stayed in. She called us some of the worst things, things that a parent should never even say infront of their kids let alone say it to their kids. I was around six or seven when she started to include me in the beatings. When she got drunk she thought it would be fun to beat her kids in turn. Never where people could see, and at first my Dad was clueless. He was in the attic room upstairs oblivious pissed out of his face. She punched one of the girls so hard, she fell back and landed at the bottom of the stairs. That is when my Dad found out. But instead of being angry with her. He joined in. They ganged up on us together. I never told my Mum any of this at the time because I was scared. After that I didn’t see him for ages. I wouldn’t even speak to him. Then almost two years later I thought he might have changed, he wasn’t with her anymore. She had been arrested and her kids? they had been taken into care. So I started to see him on weekends and stuff and he would take me out for literally half an hour. He always would turn up late. He never took interest in me really. He just pretended so that he wouldn’t look bad to the courts after what had happened earlier on. Then my Mum got a new boyfriend. We went to Ibiza with him and his son for a family holiday, where he abused my Mum the whole time and wouldn’t let us leave. We did a runner eventually and got a flight home. So did he, he abused her again on the landing while I stood and watched. He was naked too which made it worse. For a ten year old that was extremely traumatic for me. I still have flashbacks and nightmares about what I saw. I just remember screaming and telling him to stop whilst watching him beat her just in shock, in panic I rang the police, he got arrested. Then we moved into another house and Mark found us an was basically a stalker trying to get her to forgive him. He waited outside my School for a while trying to get me to give her messages. I was so scared of this man I didn't even resist. I was self harming and purging at this point and this is where my ED got really bad and this was near the time of my first suicide attempt. Then I found out a man who was really close to me tried to murder my Dad by accident and now I pretty much am terrified of men because of everything... There's obviously so much more that I could write but limited space; that's just a couple of main events in my life :/♡

About to make your first cut but dont know how? I’ll get to your directions later. Let me start by asking you a few questions.
How do you like breaking out in rashes and that unbearable itch? You do? Great, you’ll love how the healing cuts itch like crazy but you can’t scratch without fear of other people being curious.
Cute summer dresses, tank tops, T-shirts. Say your fucking good-byes. Say hello to summer full of overheating in hideous long sleeves and nosy questions from people around you. What if you have kids someday? What are you going to tell them? Girls, you know when it’s your period and you get blood on your clothes? There’s that nasty stain and you have to clean your clothes in the sink, how gross. Well, prepare yourselves for doing that more than just once a month.
You like hugs? No more. The moment someone touches your arm/leg/wherever you’ll flinch, uncontrolled. Prepare for weird looks.
How about constant paranoia that your cuts may show? Your mind is obviously already overwhelmed with whatever is bothering you. Cutting will most definitely add to that stress.
How about the money spend on band-aids?
Hiding bloody tissues?
Hours taken away from each day?
How do you like staph infections? Google them.
Guess fucking what? You may want to cut for control. Control over the physical pain that you feel because you have no control over the mental. Well damnit, you might think you have control over this pain.
But it has control over you. Someday, you’re gonna cut a little deep. Sound exciting? It’s terrifying, when the blood flows and it won’t stop, but you’re more scared to tell someone. You’re gonna swear to yourself that you’ll never cut again. And then boom, that’s when you realize you’re hooked. At this point, you will realize what the hell you’ve done to yourself, you will want nothing more than to stop. But your self-harm… it forces you to. And you have no control, none whatsoever. An addiction. And that is terrifying.
Still want to cut? Here you go

---

Directions:
1. Get a bin nearby.
2. Pick up your blade.
3. Throw it away.
4. Call a friend, a parent, anyone you love, and tell them you love them.

just picture this.
you decide that tonight is the night, after self harming there is no turning back you get addicted, now tonight you have your bottle of pills next to you, and you sob. taking them one by one. you look around your room because you know it's the last time you will ever see it. you take the final one. no-one is home so you know you have time. you start to cut yourself for the final time. then you feel dizzy, and wheazy. you know that if you fall asleep now - it's all over. then you start drifting, your heart gets slower and slower, you turn pale. 1. 2. 3. you're gone. it's all over. your lifeless body lays there on your bed. eyes open, blood pouring from your wrists. then your mum gets home. you and her used to be close. she goes upstairs to see you as she's tried ringing you. she opens your door. looks over. she screams. cries. runs over to you. looks at your blood stained sheets and lifeless body. she squeezes you, shakes you, tries anything to make you wake up. your little sister runs in. sees something a little girl should never have to see. she shakes your leg 'wake up please, please wake up' she runs to your mum crying. she isn't silly. your mum rings an ambulance, but you've been laying there for ages now. you can't be saved. at your funeral there's hundred of people. your bestfriend is there trying to hold it together for everyone. your little sister is there in the outfit you got her. your mum is there. but she can't talk, or move. she's on the floor in hysterics because she has to bury her little girl and she blames herself. your dad is holding on tight to your mum, but inside is dying. even your favourite teacher is there, regretting not asking what was wrong when you seemed off on friday. a month passes. your mum and dad have split up because the pressure was too much. your little sister has counselling, all her grades have gone down. your bestfriend brakes down, cuts herself, went from being a grade A student to an ungraded student. your school has never been the same again. even your pet sits in your room, wondering when the next time you walk through the door will be. your bedroom hasn't been touched since. it's too much. don't let this happen to your family. there are so many other options, i promise. things get easier. -Lily x

Feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. A bleak outlook—nothing will ever get better and there’s nothing you can do to improve your situation.
Loss of interest in daily activities. No interest in former hobbies, pastimes, social activities, or sex. You’ve lost your ability to feel joy and pleasure.
Appetite or weight changes. Significant weight loss or weight gain—a change of more than 5% of body weight in a month.
Sleep changes. Either insomnia, especially waking in the early hours of the morning, or oversleeping (also known as hypersomnia).
Anger or irritability. Feeling agitated, restless, or even violent. Your tolerance level is low, your temper short, and everything and everyone gets on your nerves.
Loss of energy. Feeling fatigued, sluggish, and physically drained. Your whole body may feel heavy, and even small tasks are exhausting or take longer to complete.
Self-loathing. Strong feelings of worthlessness or guilt. You harshly criticize yourself for perceived faults and mistakes.
Reckless behavior. You engage in escapist behavior such as substance abuse, compulsive gambling, reckless driving, or dangerous sports.
Concentration problems. Trouble focusing, making decisions, or remembering things.
Unexplained aches and pains. An increase in physical complaints such as headaches, back pain, aching muscles, and stomach pain.
If you are worried about depression talk to somebody about it! -harry x

I dont judge, so no i wouldnt think youre fat, id think what i think about everyone else, youre beautiful. Dont listen to anyone else, theyre not allowed to judge you and call you names, what gives them the right? If youre so displeased with your look, do something about it! Do exercise, eat a proper diet, dont just wallow in self pity and be sad with yourself, get motivated and do something about it. Anorexia isnt going to help lose weight, your body will begin to starve itself, youll get malnourished, and your body will hold on to all the fat reserves, and youll cause your body alot of damage. Cutting isnt going to make your body anymore beautiful, and youre going to hate having those scars there to remember each and every cut, and each and every emotion and feeling when you did them. The world is your oyster, do what you want, if youre not happy with something, change it, you have the power to do that. Obviously people would care, to the world you are just one person, but to one person, you are the entire world, do you want to take their world away? You have the power to change anything you want, all you need is to get up and do it! Kyran x
