To Write Love on Her Arms


Do you think that help support organizations such as TO WRITE LOVE ON HER ARMS help people find help expressing their personal pains verbally with someone instead of inflicting it upon themselves?

I wouldn't know tell u da truth I've never had that problem, but I know people who have had this problem and they seem to be jus fine now. I guess the programs do work if the people who are hurting themselves stop doing it

they definitely help. I think this question is sorta of a no brainer, really, because it's common sense that when someone can get support from someone else that they're going to feel better about themselevs and be less likely to hurt themselves--and less likely to hurt others too Id think.

I never heard of TO WRITE LOVE ON HER ARMS, but I looked it up on the internet and think that such groups are great. I have never had a depressin problem, but it's nice to know such groups exist.

I really wonder if these groups are really helpful because there's only so much they can do from a distance . . . I think love needs to come from family and close friends. If your only in a internet group, you're going to feel the distance.

You are going to move through this.


More importantly, I love you. YOU ARE GOING TO MOVE THROUGH THIS.
Don't be defeated. Submit yourself to the process. You are growing. You are changing. You are doing LIFE.


I am not trying to make you feel better. This fucking hurts, and there are no two ways around it.
But I am trying to encourage you to not retreat. I can't remove the pain, but I am going to hold your hand while it hurts.


Continue to reach out. You need people right now.


I'm here for anything you need.


You are LOVED in ways you cannot imagine. In ways that don't depend on you. In ways that don't depend on your performance. In ways that cannot be lost. Remember Remember Remember.


Love you my friend.

and I am wondering if the person who wrote this is is really a "loving friend" why did he/she sign it "anonymous" ? I question if some kind words from a faceless person maybe on another continent is going to uplift someone very much. I hope i am wrong, but I wonder if these sights and other "feel good" sites are really not much different from myspace or whatever and mainly places for people to find so-called "friends" who don't really care much about them, like i say, I hope i am wrong.

i think that it a good idea that there are organizations out there to help people with there problem. there are people that don't and cant talk to people just off the street. --janessa--

Just from the little information I do have about the organization TO WRITE LOVE ON HER ARMS,I can honestly say that I believe people who suffer with this problem can definetly use this sort of outlet. If it helps then I'm all for it.

I do believe organization, influential ones, can truly help someone. It always makes me feel better to talk my problems out. Having trust in someone and knowing you can talk to them make it a lot easier to open up too. Usually, if some people have the same opinion or have gone through the same experience they are more comfortable and open up a lot more.
