A Beginners Guide


TW: self harm     Warning: I strongly recommend never doing any of this these are not real instructions. 

Cut. Slice. Chop. Bleed.

Longer. Deeper. More.

Every month. Every week. Every day. Every hour.

It’s a cry for help but don’t let anyone know.

Other people are worse so try to keep up.

The scars are a reminder of what you’ve been through, don’t ever let them fade.

Do it again and again and again.

Addiction.
