My name is Stella and this is my story:

Overprotective parents. 22 and living with parents. Don't get to go out. Don't get to meet the love of my life. Pressurized to be the best in studies and not caring about my dreams.

I stopped self-cutting 3 years ago. Started today because of a fight with a boyfriend. It was pretty bad. Then I thought why. Why was I cutting? I wondered if others did it for the same reasons. I googled why people cut themselves. Found this in one of the blogs I read about downloading the app to chat.

I feel so much better and more positive and inspired to do what my heart wants me to. Thank you for making me strong again when I was about to give in to my weak self.

And Mason my HopeCoach is a sweetheart and he helped me get my confidence and willpower back...Thank you Mason for your kindness and patience. I needed that when I had nobody.
