Do Not Give Up

A Story by Helena G.
"

Self Harm is very common in this world and many people tend to have their friends disagree with them.

"

           In this world, people are traumatized by abuse, anxiety, and many problems of their own. The first thing that comes to mind is self harm so they can distract themselves. I may not be qualified with a doctorate on self-help but I will tell you that self-harm has come my way. I have anxiety, depression and I have been bullied and abused in my past. I won't put too much detail because it is my business. I have cut myself and it proved nothing. You may think that cutting is the answer since it gives you the pleasure of pain but trust me it does not help even though you may think it might.

          Many people are not aware that someone lose to them is committing self harm. Some forms of self harm could be cutting, drinking, drugs and fasting. All of those can hurt the human body. Some signs of when someone is harming themselves could be when they refuse to eat, when all you see is them drinking or doing drugs, or when the person is trying to hide their skin or themselves. No one should have to suffer for the pain they are in alone. Even though some of you may think I am full of crap, I mean well. Everyone in this world should always help a person in need.

         It may seem to you that the person is just trying to grab attention but they are not. Unless they actually point out their cuts and scars like they do not care at all, make sure you help the person suffering from that harm. If you find a person crying, do not be afraid to ask them why. Do not be afraid to tell them they will be ok because that person could be suffering from depression, a panic attack or anxiety. A persons life is beautiful and is meant to be beautiful. Another way to help someone can be as simple as telling them they look beautiful/handsome or that they have an awesome smile. Always try to make someone's day and I am pretty sure it will help them.

         The reason I write this now is that many people do not realize that many people are on the brink of suicide. Many people may seem like they have a good life but some might be victims of depression and could hate their lives. Never miss the chance to help someone in need when they ask for help. For this writing, I hope many of you readers consider that many people need help even if they don't seem like it. I also hope that you do not feel like I am lying because I am not. This is a very important topic that needs full attention. This is mostly advice and a heads up, not a story. For the people who are suffering from depression and are considering suicide as an option, please don't because you matter to this world even though you may think you do not. Stay alive and never be afraid to go to people or me for help.
