What I don’t need anyone to do:

-          Tell me it gets better

-          Say “It’s okay”

-          Ask me why I would ever do this

-          Take away my tool

-          Look at me with pity in their eyes

-          Run away from my scars

-          Ask me how I’m doing today

-          Send me to the counsellor [again]

-          Call me ‘emo’

-          Call it ‘over-kill’

-          Accuse me of wanting attention

-          Tell me I need to deal with my problems differently

-          Ask me if I’m suicidal

-          Tell me to stop

What I need someone to do:

-          Hug me without a word

-          Promise me they’ll be there for me always

-          Mean it

~~~not mine~~~
