I feel like I need to post something about this trend that @bribryontour created "#CutCakeNotWrists" ..Believe me when I say this trend is amazing! For those of you who are wondering what the hell is this.. It is a self harm awareness that Brybri and his friends (all of them are youtubers) created to help people with depression, no matter how old they are..depression could happened to anyone in any kind of form..hopefully this trend helped alot of people all around the world...i'm supporting him 100%..and yes this trend definitely has a place on tumblr.
If you know me well enough, you will know that I struggle with my self esteem,the feeling of not being good enough for anyone, feeling worthless, insecure since I entered high school .In the early years of high school, I am very unhappy (i felt like i don't fit in the society) but it doesn't lead me to self harming. It got serious in the year 2011. "Cutting" was something that I do for quite amount of time since jun 2011. i would cry myself to sleep thinking that no one cares/loved about me. Long story short, 2 years ago, my life was hell. In my case, I became like that all because of "love" plus all the things that I've just describe on top of this paragraph (combined everything together). it was the worst 2 years of my life. I can't even listen to certain songs. the best example; Adele - set fire to the rain..Then, I reached out to my bestfriends, they gave all they got to make me feel better about myself. they told me "they are still people that care about you, look at us..we're here for you", "we love you and don't you ever forget that" "God created you for a reason kuza and it is not to be like this, this is wrong." and etc. I remember one of them even panicked when she saw my cuts. i got the greatest friends ever. later on we made promise that we're going to help each other and share our problems so that we won't feel sad or depressed alone and that is how I got through my depression. I have to admit though that sometimes I still feel upset due to my insecurities and etc but then I think to myself that I shouldn't be upset, love can take its time and I only have one chance to live so if I waste this life on being upset, I would seriously regret it once I get older.
My main point here is, you should reached out..tell someone that you truly trust about your problems. no one should ever take somebody else's problem as a joke because we all know that depression is dangerous..it even leads to death of many teenagers. and many more are hurting in silence.
