Wont be able to have the same relationships that normal people do, wont be able to experience the same things normal people do. I just can't find a reason to live. I can't even hold a fucki...

I don't know what I would do without my mother. I'd probably have to be taken to the psych ward if my mom ever dies suddenly. I don't know what I'd do without her. I'd rather die than stay with my Dad, and I don't want to piggyback on my sister. Maybe I'd just go homeless and starve in a corner somewhere in silence.

I understand why people cut now. Not that I've ever looked down, criticized, or hated them for cutting, I just couldn't empathize. But right now I am in so much, so much emotional pain right now that I want some physical outlet to let it out, and I can't see any way other than cutting. I understand now.
