153. I have depression and struggle with self-harm urges often. (When I have to, I pop a rubber band around my wrist and snap it, which hurts without doing any damage.) There's a huge amount of ignorance about self-harm, resulting in the attitude that people do it just to get attention or be trendy or because they're weak and worthless. House cutting himself presents a completely different picture: a tough, heroic (if screwed up) figure doing it because he's in unbearable pain.

Take care of yourself. If you haven't already, tell someone. *handsqueeze*
