Macy, so sorry to hear of this trauma that you have been through. Stopping self harm is an important step to feeling better. It only makes things worse. It does not help the mind, emotions or body.

You don't have to tell the whole story. Do you have a therapist or psychiatrist that can help you?

I have heard many stories like yours here at PC. I have also read many stories of people that followed a path to a happier life. It usually takes help and a determination on the person's part to want to get better.

We all have our horror stories but we are all trying to find our way out of them.
