Okay, damn, I didn't realize that this is an issue with so many people. I originally considered myself to be a lost cause, so I took it here to show how messed up it is to help stop people from walking down this hideous road. Didn't realize I'd get tons of motivational posts and understanding, but a sold "thank you" to everyone <3

Even till this day she still has a hard time.
What did you say to convince her, Rima?
