So my aunt posted on my fb page that she was thinking about me today and that she loved me. For some reason it inspired me to post this a few hours ago.

"I've been thinking about my history with self-injury for the past couple of days. Trying to not be ashamed of myself while at the same time making sure that I don't look as if I want attention. It's not easy to balance both. When I have gone years without it, and my skin begins to repair itself, I find it's easier to talk about. Of course in the midst of it, it's the last thing I want to discuss. The anxiety I feel about this post is immense but I feel it is important to get people to talk about this, depression, and other issues concerning mental health.

If you don't know much about self-injury, Google it. You might be surprised to know that it's not just teens that do it, it's not just girls, and it's not just an "emo" thing.

I'm sharing this for those who are still suffering with this secret..."
