Angels do exist

Please excuse the misspelling of little katelynn's link
Here is the correct spelling.  I am sorry for any inconvience. Thank you.

Sugar and spice and everything nice.

This is suppose to every little girls life.

What happens when life is not like that?

What if your life is filled with constant abuse by the people who suppose to protect you?

For little Katelynn of Indiana, her life is filled with this from a father, stepmother and father's family; everyone but her the relatives that love her have been deined the ability to see her.

What happens when the police will not stop this?

Than try Child Protection Service, but they will not stop this either.

The next thing to do is go to the court.

What would you do if the Child Protection Services and the court helped the abusers hurt her?

The media might work but they ignore majority of average people.

In this search for help, several politicians ignored or said stop bothering them.

If these people will not help little katelynn than who will?

Will this little girl have to pay the ultimate price for these adults mistakes?

Now, what will you do?!

This is Indiana's Shame and these are Teardrops for Katelynn

Hey guys,

We've all kind of let this community go to hell in a handbasket but I thought I'd update none the less.

First, just let me say that for those who aren't cutting or self injurying, rock on. For those of you still doing it, I'm here if you need to talk or vent or whatever.

Second, it's been a year and seven months since I last injured myself and I feel great about it. I'm not going to say that things don't happen that make me want to do it again but I'm learning to restrain.

For those of you who missed the update, due to my drunken abusive mother I have moved out into my own apartment  ( just 10 minutes away from downtown Denver!) and I'm living with my boyfriend that I've been dating for four months now. He's amazing and I love him to death. Also very supportive of the mom drama and the rape issues and what not. So we'll see how it goes, maybe I won't sabotage myself this time!

Much love guys! Muah!

hey
its been forever since i updated, and im sorry about that
i just needed some time to find myself...




i love you all
stay strong and remember that im only an email away for anyone who needs me
infinite x's and o's
Nixie

ps- i made brownies today, and they turned out really good. some advice: melt marshmallows and put them on top of the brownies...and then mix hersheys chocolate chips, milk and brown sugar in a sauce pan and pour on top. it makes them taste better =)
*hugs*

To those of you in the group still struggling not to cut, keep at it, it gets easier.

For those of you who don't want to stop, just be careful. I trust you guys aren't suicidal.

And for those of you who haven't in a while even though you've wanted to, rock on!


On a related note, today is exactly one year since I last cut myself!

Just thought I'd let you know. I found this chick who has SI ribbons and bracelets. E-mail her at kate@healingscars.org and send her the following information...

name:
your address and country:
how many RIBBONS you'd like:
how many bracelets you'd like
what TYPE of bracelets:
SI (if you self-injure):
SIR (if you are recovering):
SIA (if you'd like to support those who SI):

She mails anywhere and a donation to her for it would be extremely nice of you...

hey all... heres a rather dark piece that i wrote- its considerably triggering... its written from a third person pov and its about life as a sexually abused teenager- atleast for me... its based on my experiences, and its rather depressing... it has references to SI and bulimia... if anyone has any feedback, itl be greatly apreciated... thanks
xoxo

relaps after relaps after relaps .... shouldnt i die after this much?

fucking body
fucking problems
fucking outlet
fucking hate
fucking pain
god damb memories

First I'd like to welcome our newest member, blacknbluemist .

Second, I'd like to announce that the 28th of this month is my ten month anniversary of no self injury. It's the longest I've ever gone without doing it and I think I may be on the track to kicking the habit. Also, I finally start school for my rape/abuse victim counseling classes. I'm excited.

Third, I want to make this a happy holiday you celebrate entry as well. So I'll start off wishing you all a happy Yule (pagan) even though I'm a day too late. Also happy Kwanzaa, Chanukkah, and a merry Christmas. If I've left out a holiday, let me know and I'll add it in. Hope you guys all stay safe through the holiday season and have a good mini vacation from work or school or just life in general, even if it's just a nice relaxing bubble bath away from the rest of the chaos and hate in the world.

 

Love you guys,

Your mod Stephanie

i've stopped .... and i dont know how i feel ... but it's been awhile and i dont feel the urges as strongly anymore, but we'll see

So as your "mother" as Ed put it, I demand that everyone leave a comment saying how they've been, whether it's good or bad. This community has kind of died lately which is sad because we used to talk to each other all the time.

I'll start:
~I've been in a great relationship for three months now.
~As of Wednesday of last week I hit the five month mark for no self injury whatsoever. I even threw out all of my razor blades.
~I'm starting a comic with a guy at work but because neither of us knows how to draw I bought a book that's teaching me how to. It rocks my socks.
~Ever since I quit hurting myself my muse is flowing so much more freely. It's awesome.
