I been so low and depressed lately, well not just lately but almost all my life. I can never really be myself and enjoy life without people controlling me. I feel like people are controlling me and I can't be in control of my own life. (I know you are wondering why).

Ever since I was 12, I been pulling my hair out and I also cut myself. I just wish I was never born. Then at 14 I stopped the cutting and then at 15 I started again and I stopped at 17 and just recently began cutting myself. Mostly my cuts aren't deep that they bleed. They bleed alittle bit to the point where U can't even tell that im cutting. Pulling my hair also relieves me even more then cutting do. I just feel in control when I do that because when I cut or pull my hair, If I have those strong urges to do them, I'd do it and feel like I controlled my urges completely. Then the whole cycle keeps going. I been going thru alot of frustration and anxiety. I am such a worthless piece of shit because I don't know how to deal with my emotions. I would like to see a counselor or pyschiatrist and tell them everything this time. I know I can't be ashamed of myself I don't know how to control them. I am such a crybaby, well I only cry when no one is around. I feel so dull and boring I wish I can just disappear and never come back again. If I sleep and never wake up, I would be so lucky!

Just yesterday, I just lost my virginity to a guy I met. He's so understanding and mad cool . I don't really know what to feel or how to feel anymore. I just feel so cold and rigid I can't even be myself.
I can tell him anything without him judging me critically. We talk on the phone for hours and hours straight. I like him alot. He's very special to me or do I really feel that way? I just want someone to make me feel special.
I just want to learn how to deal with life and my emotions and NOT let my past get the best of me.

physically cuts are forever some might heal but others stay their forever. I used to cut myself this was a while ago, but the scar never heal. So, I had to get a tattoo to cover them. I could never wear any short sleeves, because I am afraid someone might see my cut. Even thought I hate these cuts they are kind of reminder of what SA and depression had done to my life. They are like a scar of war a reminder of the war that I survive. So, anytime when depression comes I remind myself of the scar. They have thought me what depression and fear can cause you too if you wallow in it.

I will give you one advice don't sit, cry, or worry about your life. That won't solve anything. Trust me I have been on that road for a while and it doesn't really leads any where. You need to keep your self active I suggest you join a Gym or exercise at home. If you can run run. Running is one of the greatest medicine for depression when you run oxygen flows in to your brain giving you a very awesome feeling. The sense of accomplishment also is priceless. I wouldn't give you any advice without trying it I have been exercise for almost 2 years nonstop every day. The depression is gone.

You must also love yourself don't try to find love from someone. If you don't really love yourself how can you truly love another person. If you believe your unlovable how do you understand the love of someone. Food for thought. Your beautiful your unique their is no one like you your beautiful
