I remember having to do this about a year ago...it's kinda fun, to go back and read old PMs.

I feel: Very hurt
Rejected
Lonely
Disbelieving

What I'm going to do about it: See if there's anyone online to talk to. Play a favourite computer game until I feel tired. Go to sleep under my big cozy blanket. Cry if I need too.

You've taught me a lot.

Thank you.

You'll be so missed by so many.

Don't worry - we'll take care of them both.

Hi strmdncr

Have you looked at the Distractions thread in Sourcebook?

Hope you're doing okay...

Hi Chero It sounds like there's a situation going on that you don't feel quite comfortable talking about openly, which is absolutely fine...but I'm unclear as to whether the shame you're feeling has to do with something involved with that situation, or if it's about the feelings of self-hate that yo...

Hi Chero Sorry I'm a little late...how did you do? Did posting here help? Just a question...how is cutting an act of self-validation? If you're seeking to validate yourself...can you think of some affirmations that you might use? Or a list of things that you really like to do, so that when you need ...

Hi Labbaw It sounds like you're dealing with a lot right now... Do you have someone that *you* can talk to as you're supporting your boyfriend? That seems very important right now, especially if you're dissociating. I'm happy to hear that you have a Crisis Plan. Don't beat yourself up over this; it ...

Hi Cloudya Do you teachers know that you're having such trouble with this subject? Is there a way that you could get some extra help or some tutoring, to make this less of a consistent stressor? It's hard to come up with ways to make yourself feel better when you're in the thick of a bad situation.....

I just can't win with you. Even when things will seem okay, and then you'll suddenly get in that little dig that reminds me that you don't think I have a real job, that you still see me as basically unable to care for myself. When things aren't okay, you make it clear that you think I'll never be ab...

How did it go, Lena? I like your idea about some work, then something you enjoy...finishing your project maybe gives you the sense of accomplishment that SI'ing would have? And rewarding yourself for work is good. :) What other ways can you nurture yourself when you feel like this, do you think? Hop...

Hi Stellaria I hate that feeling of being triggered an unable to pinpoint why...it's exhausting for me, and it sounds like it's very frustrating for you. It sounds like you're using some good coping stategies to deal with it...are you able to talk about this with your boyfriend? Would he be able to ...

I'm sorry

To the world -

I'm sorry that I can't keep it together.

I really do try my best.

I'm sorry there's so much about me that needs to be changed.

I'm sorry I'm a mess....

I'm trying...

I don't have any advice today...but I read. I hope you're okay.

if okay.

Why the sad face? It seems to me that you learned a lot from talking about what happened...you have some strategies for next time (there's a great distractions list in Sourcebook, by the way), and it sounds like you'll definitely recognize a random urge next time it comes around... You also have alm...

I'm sorry I'm such an idiot.

Hi nitewalks t's difficult to feel that you've upset someone. Do you have a list of distraction techniques? There's a great list of distractions in "Sourcebook"...I find that something that makes me use the logical part of my mind, like Sudoku, puts me in a less emotional headspace. Have you talked ...

B: Thank you for that night that you told me that you thought I was beautiful. I wish things could have been easier for you here. I don't think you'd want me to get drunk...I won't...but I wish I could. M: I miss you so much. He misses you so much. Sometimes I wonder how we'll keep doing this withou...
