      This is the touchy subject for me. I was raped when I was 16 and then again this past year and then again recentely by 2 guys at the same time. I don't know how to cope with it anymore. I used to feel like all I was good for was my body. Sometimes I still think that.

      I've been self-injuring for about 7 years now on and off. I usually do it pretty bad where I need stitches, which did end me up in the hospital twice and in inpatient. I don't know when to stop when I do it...all I know is that it helps. But everone wants me to stop.

    • Open Prescription Drug Abuse

      I was abusing my prescription of Xanax. I'm on .5mg and I would be taking about 10-12 a day. I would feel like if I didn't have it I would get a panic attack, so I just popped a pill or two every hour or so.
