Self Harming

Part 1

Life has not been easy for most of us, some tried to overcome it and got over it successfully, some tried but couldn't and ended up suiciding, some are just stuck and relieve their pain by harming themselves. Sometimes i just lay down and think that: okay we have gone through a lot, but what about those people who go through the worst and have the courage to stand up for themselves and be an inspiration? We are not that miserable right, but sometimes i think that every person has been given different kind of issues, traumas and different level of tolerance. If i am able to survive despite having been in depression, attempted suicide twice, gone through sexual and physical harassment and still stand strong. Others might not be able to tolerate it, others might not be able to live through their worst childhood, others might not be able to hate themselves everytime they are in front of the mirror.
So why can't the stronger people be the backbone of the weak ones? Why don't we take the first step towards them? Why can't we be an inspiration for them? Why can't the victims of sexual harassment encourage girls to voice out, even if the abuser is their father, family, teacher, friends, stranger. A 'no' means a no, we say that we are evolving a lot, we are becoming more open minded but why are children still getting raped, why are women still getting beaten, why are men still feel that by expressing their feelings would make them less manly, why? Can't we normalise mental issues? It is so important to spread mental awareness, we never know who is suicidal behind the veil of their smile. It is so important to be kind and loving, we never know who is getting a ray of light unknowingly. Can't we normalise sharing our bad experience so that others can be inspired and take their own precautions?
Sharing our feelings is a must, because if we keep on feeding those negative feelings, they will one day destroy us. The reference can be made to the poem " The Kraken". You know what its like being abused since a young age, gone through traumas, hallucinating, being suicidal everytime. Depression is not a joke, though there are people who take it for granted and uses it for petty excuses. But believing in the death of emotions, being numb all the time,... I can't even describe what it feels like being drown in your feelings, unable to stop thinking, having flashbacks roaming in front of your eyes like literally, crying to sleep every night, developing anger issues, self harming..
