Mental health should never be taboo. The link below is for a pen you can use to help with self harm it looks like any old pen but it stings as you use it. You feel as if your cutting but you don’t get hurt. Please talk to someone it’s not all that uncommon to have unhealthy emotional coping mechanisms

Potentially triggering to some.

This was a quick read and I finished it in no time. I found myself relating to the author throughout all of it. You are not alone!

“I cut to cope with the abuse that has gone on in my life."

super short. i happened upon this on kindle unlimited and as someone who has struggled this just felt so extreme and felt like something a health class would have you read to be informed on mental illness

Short but POWERFUL!

I still struggle with self harm and suicidal ideation. Been struggling with them for a long time. I believe there is hope sometimes just not for me. Thanks for writing this.

Very interesting read, was recommended by a friend to read. Liked how you see into the mind of this girls life and how her mental health came to be and ignored by family members. Glad the author wrote this to help her healing.

This book was about self-harm motivated by sexual abuse.

I absolute loved this book but I feels like it had a rushed ending. I would read again.

Even if you don't relate to the reason why the author ended up hurting herself, you can relate to the mentality of it all if you have ever had severe mental health issues. It's a sad and shorter read. It made me feel like I am not alone.

Ich fand das Buch gut, vor allem weil die Autorin es geschafft hat auf so wenigen Seiten so viele Informationen rüberzubringen. Ich konnte mich total in die Situation hineinversetzen und es wurde im Großen und Ganzen sehr gut geschrieben. Man hätte es ruhig noch länger machen können, damit man noch tiefer auf die Thematiken eingehen kann aber sonst habe ich nicht viel zu kritisieren
