Cuts and Scratches..

Many people die committing suicide, giving up their lives because of the loneliness and sadness. They cannot handle the pain and frustration that were stored inside like a pretentiously calm volcano that explodes with just a little poke of a finger. These pains create a demon – a monster inside their head telling them, “Die. Death is the only escape. No one will even care for you. Nobody’s going to miss you when you’re gone. Just die already!”

These provoke them to take their lives, but some are lucky to survive. Some are even luckier because they were able to ignore those voices.

Not totally, though. Majority of them shut off their demons by cuts and scratches. Hurting themselves serves as their way to release the pain they feel inside. No one wants to listen and no one cares. They don’t feel loved by anyone, so they decide to cut parts of their bodies to wake themselves up from the reality created by their anxiety.

We all have our own relaxation and this is how they do it. Cutting diverts their mind from wandering on their deep chasms of misery and from overthinking the things that they shouldn’t have and should have done and focusing it to the physical pain currently at hand.

Inflicting pain heals them from the emotional agony. Hence, the irony.

But does this really help?

We think that hurting ourselves will help to relieve pain. But the reality is, it does not. As a matter of fact, it will just add up to the burden that you are going through. Aside from the physical damage that you must endure, the emotional problem that you have will still be there. You just won’t feel it for a while, but it is still there. So, what is the right thing to do to overcome your depression?

First is, take a different view of what is really happening with you. Sometimes we just focus on negative things and disregard the other side of the situation. You are turning a blind eye to the fact that there is a reason why you are in that particular condition. That there’s something that you can learn, or God is preparing you for great things that will happen to your life.

Secondly, visualize happy memories. After all there are still things that you can be happy with, just like being with your friends family. Next is telling yourself something good that you are worthy of the greatest gift you ever receive from God - life. It is living in this world. So do not confine yourself in that situation. Instead, make plans and goals. Be productive and do those things that you love as those things will help you divert your attention.

Lastly, discontinue telling yourself that nothing good will ever happen to your life.

Do these things and you will surely enjoy living this wonderful life you deserve.

I hope this will help you!!
