Something for all those who are depressed or going through a hard time.
I know, no one understands the pain you feel unless they go through it.
It's easy for them to say 'It'll be ok.'
No one understands you.
I just want to say I know how you feel.
I wish someone did this for me but no one did so I'm doing it for you.
I'm not saying 'it'll be ok. Or it'll get better.'
I'm saying, 'the pain will get more numb with each passing day. With each passing day something beautiful will be there. Just open your eyes.'
I'm here for you, always.

Someone New ✓
"There comes a point where you no longer care if there's a light at the end of the tunnel or not. You're just sick of the tunnel." - Who I am doesn't matter. How I got here doesn't matter. What matters now is I'm getting help, right? That's what they tell me here. They tell me that the road to recovery feels like a terrible butt fuck, but the fact that you're on the path to begin with, is all that matters. So as I sit in this circle of fuck ups, I realize just how different I am from them. I didn't attempt suicide because my mother was a crack addict who didn't want me. My father wasn't abusive. I didn't have a sibling die in a car accident. I was never really bullied either. I attempted suicide because, for the first time in years, I thought I had found something that could make me feel again... and after not feeling much at all for far too long, perhaps I went a bit overboardComplete
Cold Water
[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ DepressionComplete
When it Rains and Rains
(A Sequel to A Little Too Late) **Caution: may contain drug references, violence, sex scenes.** How do you go on, when everything you live for in life is gone? How can anything in life make you as happy as that one person made you? Is it even possible to find one tenth of that happiness they gave you once they have left this land? My answer to these questions is you can’t, from my experience is that it’s just not possible. No one knows how it feels. They’ll never understand why I feel the way I feel and why I use pain and pleasure to escape my unwanted pain. They’ll never understand why I tried to leave this world on that day and many other days after that.Complete
