Your Obstacles

I'm going through something awful at the moment; I'd never wish this on another human-being because it is horrible and torturous. There's no one reliable for me to turn to for help. The person I thought I could depend on has progressively become unreliable, as they so often say one thing and do another, and … Continue reading Your Obstacles

I walked away from self-harm at least a dozen times last week, maybe more. I have no strong desire to actually carry it out, but we cannot "cure" the thoughts that … Continue reading Boiling Point
