Not impossible but really hard. I know it isn't always easy to ask for help, or to find the right help, either, but I really would encourage you to find a counselling service near you, or go through a doctor if that is easier. You don't actually need to tell the Dr what you do, you can always say that you are suffering from anxiety/stress/depression and ask if counselling is available. There is help out there. I wish you all the very best. Tiffany, Shyanne and Gina – it’s a hard thing to stop by yourself. Not impossible but really hard.

I have failed at everything I have ever tried. This is my way to succeed at something.I have only done it once, but tried it a couple of times.I was told that I need complete victory. The bible says that perfect love casts out fear. I want to prove that I have no fear. I feel the need to cut myself so strong. I have failed at everything I have ever tried.
