When I first self harmed

It was back in 2012, this one particular day just tipped me over the edge, I felt like the black sheep in my family, my dad was married to my step Mum, we never see eye to eye, same with my step sister, this one day I felt like no one cared... like no one could see the pain behind my eyes, holding back the tears from the bullying at school and the crap at home, till I just blew... I picked up the blade and I just couldn't stop :( till my whole left arm was covered in blood cuts all in my arm, it felt such a relief and that was when I realised self harming was my escape, my way of coping with life me coping with me being me and not liking my self. Till my parents found out... They was not happy....
