While there are plenty of self help websites for depression and
suicide theres a young lady at www.imacutter.com who's doing
something different. She's attempting to help those who are prone
to self injury. This in itself may not be a news worthy event, but
she's setup a website and doing her best to help others without a
staff, and out of her own pocket. To quote the website:
"imacutter.com is a brand new non-profit movement dedicated
to presenting
hope and finding help for those struggling with self-injury,
cutting,
addiction, and suicide. since we are brand new we are working
to help
people throughout the country. imacutter.com exists to
encourage,
inform, inspire and also to invest directly into treatment
and
recovery. our main goal is to support and self-help for the
individuals
and families affected by family members who are dug deep into
this
addiction. we are not professionals. we are just a bunch of
teens who
went through the same things that you went through. we are
victims of
cutting, and burning, hair pulling, scratching, and hurting
ourselves.
and we are not here to judge. we want YOU to have someone to
talk to,
when you need someone to talk to."
Maybe if more people would try to do something like this,
selflessly helping others the world would be a better place.
