I've got that sinking feeling

It started a few months ago. I couldn’t tell you when, exactly. But I know I’ve not been so good for a while. For quite a long while. It’s hard to tell people you’re not okay anymore. They’ve been here before, and it feels like one step forward and twenty back. I’m tired of it, they’re tired of it. ...

SH is not the comfort it used to be. Somewhere in the last two years I've crossed a bridge (or maybe burnt some) and realised that there are better things for me. SH doesn't make me feel better anymore. I wanted to write that down so I can come back and read it and know that this is a feeling I can ...

:star: have you taken care of your physical wounds? if not, go do that now. we'll wait. Yes, I didn't bleed. It's not too bad, just stingy. :star: what had happened just before? I couldn't focus.

I used to go to my best friends house (he lives alone) and sleep on his couch, just veg out and relax. Sometimes I'd talk about it, sometimes not. Usually I'd talk randomly, half sentences etc.
I found that really helpful.

PM's if you want, but no urgent need I think I might have an ED, but nobody knows or even notices. I'm not really skinny, or obvious about it. But inside I'm telling me horrible things and I'm hating my body. Sometimes I think having an ED would be one more problem I could create for myself. ____ I ...

I enjoy studying nursing coz I can learn how to hurt myself with lots of blood, but less scarring, and I can bandage my wounds properly.

But I usually text or email (face/phone is REALLY hard for me) and I ask mnore than one person. I figure that if I'm doing it once, it's n...

Tempted to "slip"

Finding I've been really strong in resisting SH (it's about 125days free now), but this week has been hard. Been having a recurring thought about SHing on my neck. I know I don't want to and that I won't do it, but the continual thought is distressing. Considering SHing on my leg or something instea...
