I just wanted to give you a brief of my story and if you ever need it to help anyone to see that there really is hope.. Then im sure part of my story will help =]

Basically i have a phobia, that almost ruined my life.. I wanted to end everything, but i knew i couldnt, i knew i had to be strong for my family so i kept with it.  I made sure i told people how i felt so that they would know if things were starting to get bad again.

It started to get to a stage where i could never leave the house.  Id have panic attacks over everything.  I couldn’t eat because i was scared.  I lost my 3 best friends over the silliest argument.  And this was when i needed them the most.  So things got worse and i went to the doctors to get help.  5 months on i felt so much better, Felt like i was improving.

And with the help of my mum and friends i got through it and now that i have my confidence back i know i can do anything if i put my mind to it.

Now although ive never actually cut myself, the thought was always there.. and i was the only person that could stop my self from doing it. I realised i had the power to do what i wanted.. And over come anything.

Now i’m happier than ever.  Although i never spoke to my “best friends” again, I realized that they were never the kind of people i needed in my life.  And the friends that stuck by me helped and they are the ones that matter.

I guess what im trying to say is.. If i can over come this.. Then so can you =] xx
