Angelo Frost
A Boy of 14 years, found a way to cope with his feelings. Someone would bully him; he would make a cut over his body to deal with the stress. I was watching from above, with an inability of making a change. He was unaware of what he was doing, all he knew was that a little bit of deliberate physical pain succored in hard times. I watched with growing concern, asking “what will he do now? will he ask for help? does he know he needs help? or will he go by his old methods of self-harm?”.
Time went by, and he got to know what he was doing, he surfed the internet and found some ways to heal, to get out of the cycle of self-harm. He tried telling someone about it, but he was stopped by his fears but he fought, he fought his fears and told his grandpa, “It’s alright” his grandpa said,” take a long breath when you feel like making a cut, then wait for 5 min, and see if you feel the same urge to cut or not”. After a week, the boy sees his grandpa in a grave, doctor said he had a heart attack, probably due to stress.
His body froze, and his mind shouted, 'it was because of me' the urge to punish grew, he tried waiting, he tried breathing, non-worked. The urge grew, “STOP!” he screamed. My vision was blurry, but I saw something red flowing down his arm.
Time passed by, and the boy had gone through behavioral and trauma therapy. He has now found better ways to cope with distressing feelings, and all the trauma, he left self-harm for the past. He has become a psychologist now. His name is Angelo Frost.
I will heal, and STOP! Self-harm
