I wonder what you would say or think if I truly dedicated myself to this.

I am afraid to find out.

I feel like a fraud, telling everyone I am stable and doing good (which I often am these days) when I'm breaking down most nights and have vivid imaginations of SI, OD and SU stuff. I feel like I can't tell that anyone because "I am stable and not allowed to be anything else cause it makes the people happy that I'm stable". I didn't have therapy for quite some time now and I really miss it cause I think I might be able to talk about that in there. It's still taking like six weeks or so till I might be allowed to have therapy again. And I feel like I have to be okay and be on my own right now and not relying on the help and support of other people cause I'm not depressed right now.

You're being tested. You don't know this, but you are. That invite...is your test. If you go, and how you act if you do go...that is your test.

I’m afraid of myself.

I, too, like noldo, feel like a fraud. I feel like I have to be ok. I can’t have/show weakness. If I’m vulnerable, it’s not ok. I have to be stable, because I have to keep people happy and placated.

I want to harm
I have OD thoughts
My SI thoughts are getting stronger
I feel crappy
I feel like I’m just a slob who eats too much and doesn’t exercise enough
I will never get to my goal weight/waistline
I’m so stupid
I can’t do anything right
…

[SorryIAm]

I feel that way a lot, too, Scared. I hope you know how wonder-full and amazing you are, though. You really are.

My secret is that every day I feel like I have brought harm to people by failing to meet my commitments to them.

[desperateforgrace]

I feel like I keep most people at arms' length because if I trusted them more they would reject my true self.

I want to OD on ________________
I feel like SI’ing
I feel fat. (Clinically obese)
I have COVID, and now I can’t hug anybody. And I need all the hugs I can get.
I keep self-sabotaging and mentally beat the crap out of myself when I do so.
I have tools
I want my tiny house in the backyard, and I don’t want to have to wait.
Trying to hang in there, by the skin of my toenails!

[SorryIAm]

I often don't move all day.

[je ne sais pas]

I have been seeing the man who SA me in my room at night. I want to kill myself.

[Kaleb]

I no longer feel safe.

[s0_vErY_sCaReD]

Safe hugs I hope you get to feeling better, all of us,

[SorryIAm]

Sends safety barriers and traffic cones and caution tape, to help everyone feel safer.

I saw a sweet photo of a dog wearing a bright yellow safety vest. The caption read, "Safety dog loves you."

May we all have a safety dog to protect us and stand guard over our hurt places.

Here's my secret...


I still think about my ex.


Sending hope to all,
