When 2 were too dull to break the vessels, I thought I wasn’t trying hard enough&lt;br/&gt;
And just pushed and pushed&lt;br/&gt;
Then later with the third with just as much force&lt;br/&gt;
So much force was not needed&lt;br/&gt;
Even though I have not partaken in many years, I made no promises&lt;br/&gt;
I would never hold a promise not to hurt myself to someone else&lt;br/&gt;
I don’t need to stop hurting myself&lt;br/&gt;
I need to stop feeling so horrid that I would resort to this &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/39366395015</link><guid>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/39366395015</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jan 2013 02:07:59 -0500</pubDate><category>self-harm</category><category>self harm</category><category>cutting</category><category>razors</category><category>depression</category><category>masochism</category><category>masochist</category><category>depressed</category><category>cuts</category><category>1.1.13</category></item><item><title>When the clock turned to twelve on a new year I was cleaning...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/fb6c480fca36d420ed7ab03cd5f4cfdc/tumblr_mfxlmgY7f81rpuspko1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;When the clock turned to twelve on a new year I was cleaning last years wounds&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/39360570137</link><guid>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/39360570137</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jan 2013 00:23:04 -0500</pubDate><category>first time cutting in well over a year</category><category>cutting</category><category>self-harm</category><category>masochism</category></item><item><title>holy shit he&amp;#8217;s too amazing

&lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s the nicest guy I&amp;#8217;ve ever met and he&amp;#8217;s so sincere&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I agree with almost everything with him&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love being around him&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love hearing him talk&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hearing what he has to say&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love his attitude&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s just so happy, and if he ever gets mad he acknowledges it and doesn&amp;#8217;t blow things out of proportion&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He&amp;#8217;s one of the few people that I actually admire&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wish he could have just given me a striahgtforward &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m not inerested in you&amp;#8221; when I told him I liked him&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Instead of &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m flattered&amp;#8221; and smiling and laughing while looking away&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#8217;s a lie&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I really wish I had a chance with him because he&amp;#8217;s so amazing&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The way we got lost in conversation, I can&amp;#8217;t do that with anyone else&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;#8217;t just sit there and listen to someone talk and be so happy&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I get really nervous around him at times&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Especially when we make eye contact&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today I learned that he had beautiful hazel eyes&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh my god I wasn&amp;#8217;t prepared&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I wanted to kiss him&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I couldn&amp;#8217;t and I wouldn&amp;#8217;t but I wanted to&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just don&amp;#8217;t know what to do&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/30485878465</link><guid>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/30485878465</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Aug 2012 20:11:54 -0400</pubDate><category>8.29.12</category></item><item><title>Personal update</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Work moved about a month ago so I have to commute there; it&amp;#8217;s far from a walking distance now. Luckily, at least, I work less now. Less meaning instead of 7 shifts a week I work 6, but it&amp;#8217;s nicer.&lt;br/&gt;
I don&amp;#8217;t want to do anything though, no video games, no computer games, no effort&lt;br/&gt;
I don&amp;#8217;t even want to eat&lt;br/&gt;
I really wish a had a significant other&amp;#8230;&lt;br/&gt;
Someone who would actually want to see me if only for an hour before I&amp;#8217;d have to work&lt;br/&gt;
But of course I have to like all these straight and/or taken guys&amp;#8230;&lt;br/&gt;
I am just turning into a big loser&lt;br/&gt;
I have to put so much effort into being happy and I get little results&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/27540976682</link><guid>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/27540976682</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jul 2012 02:19:55 -0400</pubDate><category>7.19.12</category></item><item><title>Just because I'm not cutting doesn't mean I'm not hurting myself</title><description>&lt;p&gt;There are plenty of less noticeable ways to do it&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/26607855616</link><guid>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/26607855616</guid><pubDate>Fri, 06 Jul 2012 00:08:33 -0400</pubDate><category>self-harm</category><category>masochism</category><category>masochist</category><category>cutting</category><category>bruising</category><category>biting</category><category>7.6.12</category></item><item><title>I think I might be starting to get clinically depressed&amp;#8230;

If I&amp;#8217;m lucky, I SEE a friend once a month, not even hang out, just see them&lt;br/&gt;
I&amp;#8217;ve just been working so much and when I&amp;#8217;m not working I&amp;#8217;m just so&amp;#8230;so tired&amp;#8230;I want to see my friends on my one real day off but I&amp;#8217;m always just so tired and they&amp;#8217;re always busy&amp;#8230;&lt;br/&gt;
For a few months I&amp;#8217;ve been trying to get a dog, but I barely care anymore&amp;#8230;I barely care about anything, I&amp;#8217;m just so tired&lt;br/&gt;
I&amp;#8217;ve even gotten some really bad urges to hurt myself again, although (maybe) luckily I&amp;#8217;ve always been in a situation where I couldn&amp;#8217;t do anything more than claw my arms a little&amp;#8230;&lt;br/&gt;
None of my friends care about seeing me anymore&amp;#8230;they probably think I don&amp;#8217;t care either&amp;#8230;&lt;br/&gt;
Maybe I could work less, but I need to money, and I only get minimum wage&amp;#8230;&lt;br/&gt;
Ha, I&amp;#8217;m only 19 years old and my work is already taking over my life&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/25209827911</link><guid>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/25209827911</guid><pubDate>Sat, 16 Jun 2012 01:25:24 -0400</pubDate><category>6.16.12</category><category>depression</category><category>depressed</category><category>self-harm</category><category>self harm</category><category>work</category></item><item><title>What do you do when</title><description>&lt;p&gt;You really like this boy&lt;br/&gt;

But he&amp;#8217;s just so damn amazing&lt;br/&gt;
And you both get along so well&lt;br/&gt;
And you&amp;#8217;re just so happy to be with him&lt;br/&gt;

We actually have so much in common&lt;br/&gt;
We agree on almost everything morally&lt;br/&gt;
We have some things that we both really like, like dogs and Zelda&lt;br/&gt;
He is absolutely ridiculously nice&lt;br/&gt;
We actually talk&lt;br/&gt;
Like&lt;br/&gt;
We can spend half an hour jut talking, about so many things, and it&amp;#8217;s so mutual&lt;br/&gt;
Whenever one topic is done one of us would bring up something else&lt;br/&gt;
He is so god damn understanding and generous&lt;br/&gt;
God&lt;br/&gt;
It just really sucks&lt;br/&gt;
Because I&amp;#8217;m almost positive he&amp;#8217;s straight&amp;#8230;&lt;br/&gt;
I still want to tell him though, I like him too much to risk regretting it&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/23207066162</link><guid>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/23207066162</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 May 2012 22:36:40 -0400</pubDate><category>gay</category><category>love</category><category>5.16.12</category></item><item><title>Lately I haven't had any real urges to hurt myself</title><description>&lt;p&gt;But I constantly find myself with crossed arms, gripping myself with my nails so that I feel it sting&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No one to tell me what I&amp;#8217;m doing is wrong or trying to guilt me&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No one to judge me and &lt;em&gt;pity me&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This physical sensation is what keeps me together and sane&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I&amp;#8217;m ever going to stop it&amp;#8217;s going to be because I don&amp;#8217;t need it anymore&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am not going to stop for anyone but myself&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I will never let myself be ashamed of my scars.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/19925312536</link><guid>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/19925312536</guid><pubDate>Sun, 25 Mar 2012 20:11:40 -0400</pubDate><category>self-harm</category><category>3.25.12</category><category>cutting</category><category>bruising</category><category>scratching</category><category>self harm</category><category>masochism</category></item><item><title>fo the first time in my life, I got hate</title><description>&lt;p&gt;And I could have had a lt of people defending me and taking interest in me&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Because they were not anonymous, and I didn&amp;#8217;t want to start anything&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So I don&amp;#8217;t say anything, just hoping that they hold on to the happy feeling&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/19187791853</link><guid>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/19187791853</guid><pubDate>Mon, 12 Mar 2012 14:33:00 -0400</pubDate><category>3.12.12</category><category>anonymous</category><category>nice anon</category><category>ugh</category></item><item><title>So, there's are 3 guys I like, but there's a "issue" with each of them.</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Guy 1.&lt;/strong&gt; I&amp;#8217;ve liked this guy for over 5 years and he knows it and we&amp;#8217;re still best bros and all but he&amp;#8217;s more-or-less straight and in a committed relationship with someone else right now. I really think he&amp;#8217;s my &amp;#8220;soul mate&amp;#8221;, but I really doubt I&amp;#8217;m his.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Guy 2.&lt;/strong&gt; Another one of my best friends, I haven&amp;#8217;t known him long, but he&amp;#8217;s really nice and I guess you could say submissive? He&amp;#8217;s the type to apologize frantically over anything and go to great lengths not to offend someone. I&amp;#8217;m honestly too scared to actually even try to date him because I &lt;em&gt;do not want a serious relationshi&lt;/em&gt;p and all I can think about is how much he&amp;#8217;d be hurt when his first relationship ended. &lt;em&gt;I really don&amp;#8217;t want to hurt him&amp;#8230;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Guy 3. &lt;/strong&gt;One of my sister&amp;#8217;s friends and he&amp;#8217;s probably about 4 years older than me. He&amp;#8217;s scruffy, a lot taller, and basically all around more masculine. I usually am not in the slightest attracted to people like him, but he&amp;#8217;s just &lt;em&gt;so insanely nice&lt;/em&gt; and super friendly and all that stuff. And I was told by my sister that he actually did/does (not sure?) like me, but that&amp;#8217;s when he thought I was a &lt;em&gt;girl&lt;/em&gt;. And honestly, people mistake me for a girl all the time and it&amp;#8217;s not really a big deal, but it kind of is when some guy I like likes me but he&amp;#8217;s straight and just thought I was a girl&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He is also in a serious relationship.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well tumblr, this is my love life problem.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/18533310105</link><guid>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/18533310105</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Feb 2012 22:19:00 -0500</pubDate><category>2.29.12</category><category>love</category><category>problems</category><category>ugh</category><category>gay</category></item><item><title>There are two big reaons why I'd always cut on my outer arms.</title><description>&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;I was scared of cutting a major vein.&lt;/li&gt;

Posting it here because I want to surprise my friends when they see it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s a little awkward but the reason I was able to sit there calmly watching them tattoo me without any sign of pain was because of all the times I’ve hurt myself.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just pretended it was me causing the pain and I was okay.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also I psychologically detached my arm a bit, it took me a while to remember how to move it…&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/17751845817</link><guid>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/17751845817</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Feb 2012 23:39:00 -0500</pubDate><category>Legend of Zelda</category><category>LoZ</category><category>self-harm</category><category>tattoo</category><category>2.16.12</category></item><item><title>I can’t stop biting myself…</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz9al3XS051rpuspko1_250.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz9al3XS051rpuspko2_400.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz9al3XS051rpuspko3_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz9al3XS051rpuspko4_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz9al3XS051rpuspko5_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;I can’t stop biting myself…&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/17459552412</link><guid>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/17459552412</guid><pubDate>Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:24:00 -0500</pubDate><category>biting</category><category>masochism</category><category>self-harm</category><category>2.11.12</category></item><item><title>whenever I want help, I just feel like a burden to everyone&amp;#8230;</title><description>&lt;p&gt;whenever I want help, I just feel like a burden to everyone&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/17458551558</link><guid>http://prideandshame.tumblr.com/post/17458551558</guid><pubDate>Sat, 11 Feb 2012 20:05:00 -0500</pubDate><category>2.11.12</category></item><item><title>All my friends are happy and having a wonderful day
