Hai. I'm Russ. I'm 13. A girl. From the USA. I have scars marking too much of my body and too much fat for the number of days I've skipped meals. I have clinical depression and 0 self-esteem. I've seen four therapists, who all call me severely clinically depressed and 3 of whom said I need medication. I'm not on medication though. I rely on my few real friends and my music to help me through the day, and I still struggle to stay alive. My past is scattered with countless suicide attempts. I am a recovering self-harmer. An advocate for suicide prevention, self-harm awareness and eating disorder awareness. I love helping people, it's the only real thing that gives me worth. Send me an Ask and I will answer, though it may take me a little while. I love you all, and I see beauty in every life except my own. You are not hopeless. You can talk to me. I may be in a bad place, but I have beaten a lot. This blog shows the rocky road of my life. Thank you for checking it out. It means a lot to me. <3
