I'm not sure if this belongs here, but I felt I should share

I know what you mean about a big weight being off your shoulders. It feels really good thats how i felt after i just told the first person. I wondered why i had waited so long. I'm really proud of you for doing it. And no more cutting yourself. I want to see you write back that you're not gonna do that anymore.

 

Yh cutting is not the answer and leaves u with more problems than it helps. Don't do it again If u can help it

 

hey I'm proud of you for getting through a day without cutting! the trick for me that helped me to significantly decrease and eventually stop cutting is to just focus on the now. Tomorrow and the next day will take care of themselves, so focus your energy today on getting through just today without hurting yourself.

if you feel like cutting, delay and go for a walk or a run instead, or go do something else physical and demanding of effort. I find that physical activity often helps burn the energy away and takes my mind of things temporarily, and though I'll admit that I still want to cut sometimes, the desire is significantly lessened.

I would also suggest looking into counseling, if you don't already have a counselor. they can help you find different strategies to overcome self-injury and find new coping mechanisms.

Anyway, way to go! Both for coming out of the closet and for getting through your first day without self-injury.

 

ia m so proud of you i kno exactly how you feel but i still cut but i am working on stopping

 

Good to see that you're happy now. Even when you're not at times remember NO CUTTING. You're grandpa will definately make peace with it too sometimes changes just take time for people.

 

Yay! I'm glad you could come out. I have trouble coming out myself, I'm a bit frightened but I hint it sometimes. If you ever feel bad, maybe helping other people come out could make you feel better....just an FYI because sometimes I get repercussions of depression

 

Yeah it will work out. A lot of times people who may not like gay people change their opinion when its someone they care about or know who is. If you ever need to talk just message me or something im usually on here at some point during the day after school and work.
