Self-torture

Self-torture

A Story by Samantha
"

One of my other thoughts

"

The temptations are getting worse, the thought of everything be so close to me makes me feel clostafobic; unable to get the thoughts away but I want help others around me as it makes me happy.

 

I don’t want to ruin anyones day  by saying I want to go home and cut my skin open one cut by another until I feel sick and needing to throw up, I try my best to be calm and happy but it just doesn’t stay long enough for me to get over the fact that I have all these mental health problems.

 

I used to be able to control myself, I’m oblivious to situations and how to act; freaking out once realizing that this feeling doesnt seem right not even a little bit.


This pain, unable to forgive myself over the years I have cut, why is it hard to breathe?

 

I get told to be calm and breathe, its not as easy as you think. Do people actually notice I’m gone, at this moment in time I’m writing this thought; no one has come looking for me, Im in the school grounds fighting this all alone.

 

Maybe I should just end it… I’m not sure I can do this for very much longer. I’m so stressed and shaking, I bite the sides of my nails on the skin; I bite off the skin in my mouth and my lip until it bleeds and stings.

 

I get asked if I’m okay I feel that I have to say I’m good or even great, I just don’t want to ruin anyone’s day but then it comes to people I really love and they don’t want me to lie to them; yet when I do tell them the truth  I sound like I’m attention seeking, maybe I am at this point nothing is working out, but for me at the age of 16 no one fully understands what happens to me at night when I cant sleep, when I have a panic attack or go and eat till my tummy hurts. 


My shower is my happy place but my worst nightmare.

You've got some grammar problems... like "needing to throwing up" and you also have a word economy problem. In terms of length you could cut this down by a third at least.

It's not bad but you should rewrite this and pay more attention to your grammar and focus, on a sentence level, on saying the same things with less words.

You should listen to the birds singing on a beautiful day. If you listen carefully you’ll hear them prey.
