2. My worst was defending myself in order to harm myself.

May 2014

Which never, ever got out of hand to the point of hurting someone else. I always gave up before that. I never even had the heart to hurt myself all that much. No scars on me.

But that was years ago. I've found peace of mind, I feel like I have a good future now, and I am generally happy. I feel like mentioning that I'm mentally ill is wrong because of how good things are right now. But it is still there, I know that. I can always slip back into that unhealthy state of mind, but I don't see a need to...

I wish I could give a more meaningful explanation than that. I'd feel more like a success story once I get through college. But I also know how depressing it is to see someone flaunt that, so I don't post much in this group anymore.
