thanks lbc. i'm sad to report that i start over with day 1 tomorrow. :cry: i can't believe it. well, i guess i made it 48 full days without. i guess there isn't much to say. i didn't cope very well. i was sad today and i agree that i have a right to have a sad day. things in my life are sad right no...

I didn't do it. I know I should probably feel better about that than I do at this moment. I know you are right about the control part. It has always seemed to me that if someone hurts you that gives them control over you so I never let anyone think they hurt me. Anyway, I didn't SI. Maybe tomorrow I...

Before You Self-Harm write down the shadow that's hiding behind the urge. look at it. ask yourself: how will this situation or feeling change if i hurt myself? It won't change. I'll probably feel worse because today would have been 12 days without SI. what will hurting myself bring to the situation...

Before You Self-Harmwrite down the shadow that's hiding behind the urge. I've spent the whole weekend at my sister's wedding. My alcoholic husband (whom I'm seperated from) and I were both in the wedding trying to pretend everything was okay because the family doesn't know about the situation. My h...

I'm okay. I mean I guess I'm not but I should say, "I'm fine." That's the proper thing to do and my mother would be pleased.

Thank you very much for your concern. It's an odd place I've found myself.

Yesterday I SI [a few] times. I don't know why.

Thank you

I recently started counselling. It's very hard. I told her about the SI. My pastor knows about it. But nobody else in my life does. I guess. I haven't told but I'm sure they wonder when they see the scars. I don't know? People don't say anything. I'm not close with my family. I love my husband very ...

have you taken care of your physical wounds? if not, go do that now. we'll wait. i have what had happened just before? just the thought of another day was more than i could take. what were you thinking and feeling? I was thinking how did i get here? what happened to my life? i feel lost and alone a...

write down the shadow that's hiding behind the urge. look at it. ask yourself: I've moved out. I'm currently not living with my alcoholic, abusive husband and I hate it. I hate the shame he has caused me. I hate...I hate everything--myself the most. how will this situation or feeling change if i hu...

I don't regret what I said to her because in my heart I know it was the right thing. But then I think how can it be right for me to hurt her. My tone with her was so normal it was odd. I just stated what I felt and left it at that. Then she hung up on me and called back crying. I don't know what els...

have you taken care of your physical wounds? if not, go do that now. we'll wait. yes what had happened just before? i tried to follow my counselor's advice and stand up for myself but i ended up making my best friend cry. what were you thinking and feeling? what a terrible person i am. i shouldn't h...

i can't do this anymore. nothing is ever the right thing. keeping everything inside is the best way. then only myself is hurt.

there is never going to be an after. it's always before

how will this situation or feeling change if i hurt myself? it won't change the situation at all. everything will be exactly the same afterwards. what will hurting myself bring to the situation? what will it take away from the situation? it will bring me some relief even if it's only temporary. how ...

I cut out what I absolutely could but then I get the guilt trip about those things that I'm taking a break from. I don't know. I keep thinking things will slow down but I know that then I'll have all new reasons to SI. Sometimes it just feels like too much. And I don't want to stop even though I kno...

What's IRL?

I'm too busy with obligations to relieve anything any other way. I can't imagine how anything else would make me feel better.

write down the shadow that's hiding behind the urge. I know that even if I feel good right now, that good feeling won't last forever and this way I can remind myself of the pain. how will this situation or feeling change if i hurt myself? if i do this now then i know that the when the sadness comes ...
