Lately, I've been reading a lot more self harm, distorted body image and tough survival stories. I'm not sure if it's a trend or phase but after something happened to my sister; I am determined to help people if they need it. Even just as a human punching bag for someone to get things off their chest. If you, a friend or someone you know isn't feeling right or you can tell somethings up. PLEASE SEEK HELP AND ADVICE! I'm not a professional; I don't claim to be but here are some resources you can hook up with:
