I Appreciate Honesty

I'll be honest with you and myself. Recently, when I feel down, I've been having thoughts about self-harm. Few days ago, I was holding a knife at my room. I wanted to cut my thigh. I really wanted to. At that point, bleeding seemed so comforting, somehow. I dropped the knife at the last moment. I asked myself.. what's the point? Like why do I have to punish myself like that? I've never had such dark thoughts before now, not even in my teens.

it is awesome that you had a moment of clarity!!! thats saying that you have intelligence and KNOW there are other answers. Sometimes we are visited by dark or depressing thoughts. They occur for any number of dozens of reasons, the thing is to talk through them and realize that harming is NEVER EVER the answer....im more then willling to talk with you if you want to......i have accounts on other sites we can pm if youre up for it...if not....i understand....BTW....im not a perv or anything and i dont WANT anything except to help and be a friend......you have my word on that....
