Spare time activities? Any ideas?

Hm, I don't know in which forum to post this, but I thought I'd leave it here... I have the feeling that my life is so empty. The last few months I didn't have to work much for school, in fact I barely had to work at all. And this leaves me with sooo much time for myself. Which is great. But also sc...

Reason to be proud of myself?

I think I did quite well today?! I was not particularily looking forward to this day. I don't like sundays, I'm usually bored and restless and already worrying about the following week. So I try to sleep as long as possible in the morning. And this sunday was even more difficult because I had asked ...

:star: dylanlil :star: Welcome!!! It's great to have you here! It sounds like you have experienced a lot of bad things in your life, a lot of stuff to work through. Do you have a therapist?

Taking care of yourself

I feel unworhty of many things lately. Especially when it comes to taking care of myself. For example I had very dry skin (especially face & hands) last week when I was in holidays. My mum said that it looks ugly and I should put some hydrating lotion on it. I refused to do it, I said I don't like l...

If my mother knows????!!!

Today my mother asked me whether I had drunken from the Campari we have at home. I sayd that I did when my friends were here. She asked me whether I drink on my own sometimes. I said no. She said if I did, then she'd be worried about me, because it's not good to pour your problems down with alcohol....

Being pessimistic and depriving yourself

I often feel like I have to "punish myself in advance" for something that I am going to do or that is going to happen. I don't know if you know that feeling when you are afraid of doing everything wrong and sure to end up in an embarrassing or painful situation. I often don't think of the positive t...

Hi :star: tara :star: thank you for your reply! I guess you're a Nirvana fan?! I am too! I'm reading a book about the band and specially about Kurt right now. I don't have any methods to prevent me from drinking and SI. I don't want to stop. Ok, methods would be listening to music, relaxing...but I ...

Alcohol and SI

If I found something which helped better than cutting, then I would probably be willing to stop. Something "better" means something that helps me more, that helps me to deal with the negative feelings. Because cutting helps a lot against negative feelings, but it can also create them. Why do I hold ...

If I was sure that I would make it, I would probably do it. Especially now, that spring is coming. Spring is the time when I am most depressed. I just hate it, the sunshine, the flowers - all these things just don't match my mood. And I guess if I get more depressed, I will try to stop cutting becau...

Where will it lead me to? I am scared!

I feel like my urge to cut is growing. Eveytime I have negative thoughts, I feel guilty, I am angry - when there's any negative feeling, I cut, or I think of it and want to do it. And cutting helps me a lot for the moment, it takes away the negative feelings, I feel better afterwards. But on the oth...

:star: treasure :star: I can totally relate. I am overweight, and I use to eat a lot of unhealthy food. I sometimes just think "you're fat, so it doesn't matter anyway". But I think it is not the food which is the main problem, it is your attitude towards yourself. Blaming yourself for not having th...
