Never again..(Mercedez) My name is Mercedez Charlton and this is my story.
I sat there with the razor blade against my arms cutting over previous scars, just to see the blood draw from my arms.
That was the best thing about self harm seeing the blood drip slowly from my skin but really it wasnt something i wanted to do, i wanted the pain to go the thought of suicide and self harm i just wanted it to escape from my mind but it just wouldnt. I had been in and out of hospital for taking overdoses and self-harming the point that it was really bad, i had cut my face open all down one side i regret it.
I have a 7 Year old sister she is my world and i dont know where i'd be without her i probabbly wouldnt of been able to write this story, i was on a section and put into a sycriatric unit in essex i was in there for 10 days and was not allowed out until i seemed stable i was diagnosed with depression and now take fluoxatine. My little sister was my only hope of survival she was my rock although she didnt understand she kept me going and to this day she does im not allowed to see my sister due to difficulties with my mum, but thanks to my sister im here today and for the last 3 months ive been free of self harm and suicidal thoughts, its not hard to overcome these thoughts and feelings but if you have it in your heart to not do this you can do anything- have faith in yourself you can do it.
