Anonymous: I cut. A lot. I drink way to much alcohol. Staeve, binge, purge. and on wednesday, im getting drugs from my cousin. Im on the fast track to death and I dont care.
Don’t throw your life away, it’s worth the whole world. You may not care that death is closing in but people out there do and if you go through with it they will be devastated. On Wednesday go out, see your friends and have a good time. Don’t go to your cousin and don’t take the drugs. Do that one little thing for me and I’ll be proud of you.
You’ve admitted your problems to me - a stranger - meaning you are able to admit it to others too. You have a problem and there are people who are here to help, go to the doctors or a counsellor and talk to them. Even if it’s just to unload a lot of baggage they will be there to listen and give you guidance.
Don’t give up on life just yet, you have so much to live for. I love you! <3

Anonymous: That's the thing. All she does it tell me to go to counseling and to let it go. Nothing else. I can't stay strong for much longer. My entire life has been with a fake smile on my face. So no one knows if I'm hurting. I just don't know. I want someone to notice that I'm not who they think, but I don't know how. I'm not going to go around crying all the time. I can't do this. If she cared she would've known that I was cutting last time.
Try not to focus on her low interest in the matter, the fact is that she’s probably scared and she is suggesting a counsellor as she doesn’t know what she can do to help. Take her advice and go see a counsellor, if she is not willing to accept the fact that you are hurting and she doesn’t support you in any way then walk away. Don’t hold onto a friendship that isn’t working, it’ll only hurt you later when you realise it didn’t mean anything.
Counseling is a great idea as the person you see will have dealt with situations like this before and know how to handle them, she/he will be able to give you the best advice and guidance into recovery.
Also don’t blame your friend for not noticing the problem. She probably never thought it was even a possibility that you felt this way, talk to her and see what her deal is and whether she really supports you because you need someone who you can trust will be there for you. You need a strong support system to get through this and you can’t risk having people get in the way.
Remember that I care and if you ever need to talk I am here.
Xoxo

Anonymous: My friend knows that I used to cut a lot last summer, and now she said today that she was going to check me every time she sees me, to make sure I didn't. Little does she know, I started back 2 weeks ago, and haven't stopped. There are cuts hidden all over my body. I see her Thursday. What do I do??? I don't know if I really care if she sees my cuts.. I feel like she never cared about me anyways.
I promise you she cares. If she didn’t she wouldn’t be willing to check up on you every time she sees you. Don’t be scared to show her them, if she truly does care - which I’m sure she does - she won’t judge you. She’ll try to get you some help and try harder to help you stop. Just remember you are beautiful and no matter what, don’t be ashamed of who you are. There is always someone who cares whether you know it or not and all you have to do is get the confidence to show them you are hurting, they’ll be there for you in a heartbeat. Stay strong sweetheart, I believe in you <3
