Something to Believe In

While trying to continue on the long road of recovery it is important to have something or someone to believe in. Now, I want you to take a second and think about what the someone or something is.
                        Do you have it? Now go and grab a piece of paper and write it down. Look at what you wrote, think about it for a minute, really think. Now when you're ready tear it up and throw it away. Now go grab another piece of paper and write ME on it. Hold that piece of paper and go look at yourself in the mirror and say to yourself, "I believe in me." The only person you need to believe in is you. The only thing you need to believe in is your strength. You are the one who is gonna have that power to put that blade down, to wipe your tears, and pick yourself back up. This does not mean you do not need a support system made up of friends and family, but like I have said many times before, you are the only one who can save you.

Hang that piece of paper on a mirror where you look at yourself often so you can remember who you are believing in everyday, YOU.

Listen to me, no artsy or depressing pictures. No distracting fonts or colors. Just read, somebody cares, in fact I care and it will get easier. It may not seem like it I know, but I promise you that at least one person cares about you and values your life. You are so beautiful and you deserve so much more than what you are doing to yourself. Don't hurt yourself, don't beat yourself down, don't hold it in. Just let it all out, and breathe, because just the fact that you can breathe is pretty amazing. Don't give that up. When the razor, knife, pill, whatever it is, is whispering you name know i'm yelling yours at the top of my lungs. I know the skin your living in hurts a lot of the time, but please don't keep tearing it open. You are worth fighting for. SO keep fighting through the pain, through the tears, through those dark nights. You'll make it out alive, I know you will, because if I can do it, anyone can. You can do this.

Stay strong. Just keep taking those baby steps, you'll get there.

Much Love,

Katelyn.
