And mother, I am so very sorry. You had spent nine, long months molding and creating me. Perfecting the shell that holds my personality within. Just for me to deprive it of food when it screams for it. To cut open the shell when I feel like I am trapped. For me to look in the mirror and scream and cry because I do not like what I see. I cannot help but to destroy the creation you worked so hard on, and for that I am sorry. Your creation deserved someone who knew how to take care of it.

You notice that your friend has fresh self harm marks…

lo-o-ovely:

DO:

  • Ask “are you okay?”
  • Ask “are you going to be okay?”
  • Say “hey, just wanted to let you know I’m always here for you”

DON’T:

  • Point to the marks
  • Say “OH MY GOD” or “HOLY SHIT” or anything of the sorts
  • Make a huge deal
  • Yank up their sleeve / pant leg / reveal the marks more than they already are
  • Pull them closer to get a closer look
  • Make them feel bad about it
  • Act like they hurt you / let you down
  • Make them “promise to never do it again” (Because that’s just unrealistic)

Translation!!
Do: be understanding
Don’t: be a fucking asshat
