I am me and me is I. What I see and what you see Will be completely different! "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." — Marilyn Monroe

Heart of Misery

I don't want to feel anything today
(I don't want to feel anything today)
Anything at all and just be alone
(I just want to know that you want to know)
I don't want to live through another day
(I don't want to live through another day)
Meaningless to fight for the victory
I just want to dive in the heart of misery

One love, One life
Locked me in the heart of misery
One loss, one fight
Locked me in the heart of misery

I will never be anything again
(I will never be anything again)
I'm tired to give, I don't want to try
(I'm afraid to live, I'm afraid to die)
I just want to fly, throw it all away
(I just want to fly, throw it all away)
Meaningless to fight for your sympathy
I just want to drown in the heart of misery

One love, One life
Locked me in the heart of misery
One loss, one fight
Locked me in the heart of misery
Heart of Misery: The Rasmus


I gave in last night, I just couldn't help myself. I thought I was so tired that I just couldn't cry any more, I couldn't feel any more and all I could do was sleep. I have spent so much time in bed at the moment. I get up as late as possible and go to bed as early as possible. I just couldn't stay awake. Interacting with people just made me feel worst. It zapped my energy more. Then I had a bad shift at work, I even had a few people come up to me and tell me that I wasn't myself and they wanted to know what was wrong. I just told them I was overly tired. I got home and I was determined to go to bed.

However, I was in the flat by myself, no one else was home. I put my music on (thru headphones), I drew my curtains, sat in the dark and before I knew it I started to cry, I honestly thought I couldn't cry any more but I did. I sobbed and more water came out my eyes than I thought was possible. The I reached for my razor. I held it between my fingers, turning it around and around, weaving it in and out. Then I took it in my left hand, I had no power to resit it's song to me, I placed it into my skin and I dragged it across. It felt good, but what shocked me was the fact it really hurt. It doesn't usually hurt until I start calming down. This hurt though, I could feel the pain. Rather than only three of four cuts, I did thirteen cuts. Although I hurt, it felt wonderful, the pain was euphoric, the blood was fun to watch as it came out as ruby droplets. I do not regret what I have done, I just thought that my will was stonger than this. However, I do except the fact that I have been slowly getting worse for weeks. I no longer just think of self harming, but of other things.

The strange thing is that I have felt better today, not fantastic, and I don't think I'll not manage to cut myself again tonight. I feel like the storm in my head is slowing down, blowing itself out. I'm glad I have another day to try and calm my head down and raise my energy levels before I have to face another week at work.

We also have a team day on Wednesday and I really don't want to go, so many people are going to be there, and it's hard enough to cover marks from people who know what I do, but the whole team and trustees, what the hell am I going to do. I also have to spend the day with her the person who has caused me so much pain, and still causing me pain, and still filling me with hatred and bile. I would really like it if I could let it go but I can't.

All I can think about it getting my razor and cutting again. The pain is like nothing I've felt before, and I want it again. I know I need to tell someone, any one but I'm scared they'll take this away from me. The one thing that actually makes me feel something, feel something positive and they'll take it away from me. I don't want that. I'm going to keep this to myself for a while. Why should I let someone take this away from me.

My attitude towards cutting is pretty much the same as my attitude towards alcohol and other drugs: maybe it's not the best thing in the world, but if you need it, thank God it's there.

Have you heard Manfred Mann's "Spirits in the Night"?

And remember, when Marx said that religion was the opiate of the people, he meant it as a compliment: blessed relief from the pain and cruelty of a heartless world.

So: cut if you have to, drink if you have to, pray if you have to, and don't feel ashamed of it.

Hey DP,

It's not that I'm ashamed of it, although I do cover the marks with arm warmers and long tops, it's more that I gave into the addiction that gets me. I cut to make myself feel better but there is an addiction side to it that when I start cutting I struggle to stop doing it. The worse I feel the more I do it, the more I do it the more I want it.

Those I've told about the cutting, recently, have never made me feel bad about it. Although I've not really told anyone about this weekends cutting, although one person asked if I had been cutting and I just couldn't lie, I said yes and then we left it at that. She's not seen the marks.

Also, why that song? I'm pretty good at seeing points to songs and how then be relevant, but this one seams to elude me. Help me out here please?

Sorry the song is obscure. Maybe it's just me, but I think of it as a story of people who are tired after a long, dull, frustrating week at work, and cut loose on Friday evening and get totally loaded and have wild stoner sex.

As I said, maybe not the best response you could make to a difficult situation, but way better than just shrivelling up and suffering.
