yeah their music is somewut depressing, but u can relate to the words and understand their emotions and know uve been through the same thing. i just see it as someone else has been through it to and theyve coped with their feeling through music, much like i do. plus its not to loud that i can fall alseep to :D

Yeah, thats why I love their music. I can really relate to the songs, and you can really feel the meanings and emotions in them. Its not just songs about superficial crap. Theres just a few songs I have to avoid when Im feeling really bad (such as if you cant leave it be..).

Do you not find it really hard to ring someone? I always feel like they'll think I'm attention seeking or that I'm wasting their time/evening etc, even if they've told me I can ring anytime.

the only person that i can call lives 2 times zones away. ive just started to talk to him about it more and trying to help him understand why i SI. Hes starting to slowly understand, and out the people I have told hes the only one to stick by my side. I still find it uncomfortable to tell him about it all. he just thinks u can stop and nevr do it again, so i just get more frustrated with the situation and want to SI again.
