There’s going to be times in life when you feel that its best to just let go, when you think that when all else fails that you think that’s it best to just disappear… Well its not! Why give up when you worked so hard to get where you are? Life isn’t always about being better than others but to be with others… To help, to gather up and help each other during your down times… Never give up, even if you think that you’re doing the best thing possible by letting go… Letting go is not an option… To think that you are releasing yourself from others to help with what you think is causing them pain. Death is not an answer to life’s problems, Self harm is mere an illusion… It may be harder to stop but its harder to begin… That first cut is pain! The first Purge is hell… The burns are screams of pain. What is it to do when to self inflict people ask everyday? To us who stands out in the crowd of people… It’s away to run from the pain… Away for us to be rid of the harsh and cruel comments that others throw at us… But what those people who question and think that we do this all for attention… What they don’t know is the bond that we all have… Just like Soldiers… We stand united… We all help and understand each others pain… Although we wish that we could stop all the pain but we know that we can be here for each other. This is too all the wonderful DS people… Keep strength, Have faith in yourself and keep your head up! God bless you all!!

*Approximately 1% of the United States population uses physical self-injury as a way of dealing with overwhelming feelings or situations, often using it to speak when no words will come. Despite the fact that self-injury is far from rare, myths and misunderstanding surround this psychological ailment -- mistaken ideas that often result in self-harmers being treated badly by police, doctors, therapists, and emergency room personnel.
In response to society's mistaken ideas about self-harm, the American Self-Harm Information Clearinghouse was created to educate and inform medical and mental health professionals, the media, and the general public, sorting myth from fact and explaining what is known about self-harm. One of ASHIC's major projects is National Self-Injury Awareness Day. In this grassroots effort, people across the country and the world whose lives have been affected by self-injury deliver fact sheets, reports, and brochures to those who make decisions about the treatment of those who self-harm. *
