      From DreamsCanComeTrue1 August 16

      If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you and share with you its beauty On the days you're feeling blue. If I could build a mountain You could call your very own; A place to find serenity, A place to be alone. If I could take your troubles I would toss them in the sea, But all these things I'm finding are impossible for me. I cannot build a mountain Or catch a rainbow fair, But let me be what I know best, A friend who's always there. This is a Hug Certificate!!

      Started cutting when I was 16, after reading a book on a figure skater who cut herself.. at first I did it to get attention once a week then it quickly spiralled out of control and I was doing it up to 30 sessions a day. Went to counselling and stopped eventually for 2 and a 1/2 years but then started up again 3 years ago and stopped cutting again jan last year until feb this year when everything got on top og me. So the only support I have is my friends.
