Back in my early-twenties I struggled terribly with depression and self-injury. I dabbled in the occult and went back to the church off and on. During a moment of being a Christian I prayed so hard for god to make me not want to cut myself any more. Every day I woke up and I hated that I had. I wanted that to be taken away from me. I wanted just one day where my food didn't taste like sand. One day that didn't make me regret that I'd even been born. It never happened. During a period of not being involved in church I got help, stopped self-harming, and have been "clean" ever since.

I'm so sorry to hear you went through that Sad

Well done on finding the strength to fight through and getting the proper help Smile If sounds like realising that God ain't going to do shit was step 1.
