Suicide, Depression, and Self-Harm quotes

A smile on her lips but scars and scabs on her hips

　

Ugly! Homo! Waste of space! Whore! Mistake! Fag! Slut! Gross! Die! Fat! Cutter! Stupid! Worthless! This is what I hear when I walk down the halls everyday

　

You can hurt me and it's right. I can hurt myself but it's wrong

　

She smiles softly, the saddest, loneliest smile ever seen and then she shuts her door behind her and it is gone. Her smiles seem so real but she knows how to pretend it. She looks happy on the outside, but is hurting on the inside, why does she feel so alone when she has friends and family that love her so much? She leaves it inside, but she's running out of space. Let it go they say, but she holds on tighter. She needs to make a decision before its too late. She is mentally in pain and depressed. Tired of staying up all night, thinking

　

You know her name, not her story. You know her smile, not her frown. You know her love, not her hate. The girl you know, is no longer the same

　

Depression is not an act.

Eating disorders aren't phases.

Suicide isn't a cowardly escape.

Homosexuality isn't a disease.

Self-harm isn't a cry for attention.

Stop pretending you know everything.

　

When you see my scars, don't tell me to stop cutting. Don't tell me it's stupid, because you don't know what i'm going through. nobody does

　

I thought you really cared. Why did you have to pretend? You knew how broken I was from the start. Why would you purposely add onto my pain?

　

Dear Depression,

You need to leave me alone already. Everyday you are screaming at me telling me how terrible I am. You make me replay every mistake I've ever made. And you humiliate me on a daily basis. You've made it impossible to be happy. Or have any connection with my friends. And family. I am so sick of you controlling me. The sooner you leave the better off I will be. Don't come back either. I never want you to be a part of my life again. I hate you. I hate myself for letting you inside my head.

Sincerely, Shannon Snyder
