#DearMe: Stop Hating Yourself.

Description

I feel I should probably put some sort of TRIGGER WARNING on this video, it is not my intent to trigger or upset anyone by posting this.
Show More I feel I should probably put some sort of TRIGGER WARNING on this video, it is not my intent to trigger or upset anyone by posting this.

This video is really for Victoria, between the ages of 14 and 17, a version of myself that was pretty lost, and didn't really understand my own thoughts. No one ever really warns you what it's like to be afraid of yourself, to hate yourself, and that's something I've experienced first hand for much of my teenage life. The awful combination of middle/high school and mental illness took so many years of my life from me. It's hard to be motivated to do well in school or take care of yourself when you honestly become so disconnected that you're convinced you will die before your graduation. I turned self-destructive, cutting myself and harming myself convinced it didn't matter what I did to my body or myself since I wasn't going to live much longer anyways. Victoria now, has grown so much stronger, because I DID continue on, and I AM still here. I went through my own personal hell, and I know it's far from over, but every day I wake up to my scars that only remind me how far I've come.

I apologize that this was so much darker than most people's #dearme videos, but I think it's something that needed to be done, a lot of these things I've never really said out loud to myself or anyone else. And all I can really hope for is that I can help or inspire someone going through their version of hell to keep moving forward. You are destined for great things. If you are struggling, I encourage you to reach out for help.
