I then started to build up my life again. Talking to my parents gave me so much peace, as they didnt know about ANYTHING that was going on. I first started an apprenticeship at a technical school which took me in after my parents pleaded with the school director and told him my story. So I learned to be a mechanic for 2 years so I could get my Hauptschulabschluss ("Main school" diploma) which is basically worthless. I then continued going to that school after completing the apprenticeship to be a machine operator I started another apprenticeship to be a mechanic which gave me the "Realschule" diploma. Then came covid so I got interrupted a little bit but 6 months ago I got my Fachhochschulreife (a Gymnasium but for a specific industry, for me it was technical/IT), which means I will be able to go to a university. I also found friends. 4 very good friends to be exact. We can talk about anything, they all know my story/feelings and are always there for me, which I am eternally grateful for, just like for my amazing parents. What I wanna tell you is that things can very much get better. I am happy to be alive, even if on some days my mood may be lower, its gonna be better tomorrow ("Falling away from me" from Korn is an amazing song btw).
Please dont cut yourself or worse. If I was able to "make it" you can easily. The picture is of my still visible scars. Please do not cut yourself, it will leave lasting scars and even now, when my mood is very bad I still think of cutting myself, like a heroin junkie would want to shoot up.
Please
