I understand that your placement could be tricky but it's just a matter of keeping any marks covered up. How easy that is will depend on where you did it.
So, what is it that made you do it? You mention that things became too much to deal with. Maybe sharing with us on here will help. I don't know. Bottling things up inside will never work though; it'll always come out eventually and often in a self-destructive way.
Hyper, please let yourself cry. It's an emotion that you are entitled to. After a while you'll get it all out of your system and you'll feel sooo much better for it. I promise you.
your not a failure-its a slip up they happen-i should know-you r boyfriend may be upset but its only cos he cares and he will understand im sure-its not like you havent tried cos going four weeks is such a massive achievement and next time you'll go even longer if you dont stop completely-im always here if you want to talk you know that
loopi- i just cant cry ive always been told of when ive cried in the past so i dont-it makes me less vulnerable to other people-i just cant cry anymore
sorry
glad you're ok, thankyou, it means a lot xx
4 weeks is a bloody long time You should feel proud Just think though, you've gone 4 weeks, and try to see it as a slip up, or start again. That's how I did mine, only I just concentrated on getting through each day. Also, try to not to become to focused on exactly how long it's been since u last harmed, I found that it made me think of it more, and hence slipped up more
I know it's a long time but i just cant help feeling that i've let myself down, i shouldnt have done it, how rubbish is this. I just can't deal with it, I'm so stressed, I cry at everything, how pathetic.
thats so good to hear sofie xx
crying isnt pathetic, its natural slip ups are perfectly normal when trying to stop harming, just keep at it, and dont let this disheartned you
I know but now I just dont see the point anymore, ive been trying for ages and I just cant seem to do it, maybe this is how I'm going to be for the rest of my life, i give up to be honest, sorry to be so pessimistic.
youve gone 4 weeks, sounds like u can do it hun rather than thinking negatively- i know its hard but try thinking positively, e.g. i slipped up because i was under a lot of stress, or 4 weeks is a long time- can i better that this time? xx
just told my boyfriend, he's not angry but is just a bit upset I think. I feel so guilty, I want this all to end now, I cant do this anymore.
I know that feeling You CAN do this though xx
Thanks for you support I really appreciate it, I do. I just don't see an end to this anymore, I feel like I've really failed, I shouldn't have given up on it. I'm really sorry to keep going on about it, just need to talk I guess.
How are you today?
Don't let them know then.
Big deal if you ended up cutting again. Four weeks is a success, dust yourself down and start again. It's no big deal, it doesn't matter.
I slipped up three years after I'd stopped cutting. It doesn't matter either.
He will be upset, but only because he cares.
Indeed it is. I'm actually aiming for 4 weeks as well. I'm hoping it won't be too hard. (the last few weeks have been alright though)
Of course.
I'm leaving this place (I've asked for my account to be deleted) but I'd like to thank everyone for the advice, for actually giving a fuck about some stranger on the net and for just being good people.
I hope everyone deals with their demons and comes out the other end smiling.
Bye.
Why are you leaving?
I don't want to post here anymore.
But I guess you knew that .
Ok, it's because things have happened and they have soured this place for me. I don't want to be reminded of things and I want all my posts deleted.
I suppose I do have other ways of stalking you anyway...
Well, so long, its been great knowing you.
I hope things turn out best for you. Many people fuck me off here too, but I always try to not let it overshadow the good things.
take care.
/e: I am actually doing rather good, but I feel so devoid of passion lately. It must be the uni-work, the exams I have to make up for, because I was lazy in first semester, the money... It's the first time in life I have money problems, because I bought a new bicycle in summer and head-to-toe snowboarding gear in fall. I am owing people money and it's getting hard to get through, however.
On monday I'm looking forward to next weekend, but on the weekend I'm so demotivated to go out,... I'm rolling the sleeves up and head through there...
Ended up giving in last night and cut myself. I am so worried now that my parents may find out. I'm surprised they haven't started asking questions yet about why on earth I spend 30 minutes+ in the bathroom...
as ive said before to other people-its a slip up they happen and you'll go longer next time if you dont stop altogether-you've achieved so much so dont be so negative-i know i cant say much bout being negative but i mean it-take care
