I'm trying

Post by shaybear » Wed Jul 04, 2007 2:07 am

It's been about a month and three weeks since my last cut.
Things had gotten pretty bad, but I just couldn't bring myself to cut.
It hurt Ryan (my bf) too much, he was so worried and I couldn't do that to him. I love him way too much and besides he had his surgery and everything else to worry about.

It gets so hard sometimes, but I'm trying and I've been doing good so far.
I've only ever gone 2 months before I'd break.
Hopefully I can get past it and make it through 2 months.
Don't ever regret anything that once made you happy, because at that moment it was exactly what you wanted

Being almost devastated is horrible because it lingers. But total devastation brings a kind of peace. It lets you give up.

keep it up!!! *does a cheer for you* each day you get by is something to celebrate. and if you do slip, that's ok too. it doesn't mean you're back to square one, it just means you took a step back, and all you have to do is take another step forward, then another step...

hang in there. keep it up! your bf must be so proud of you!!!
