I've been doing so well since February, making the most of every day and keeping myself happy and optimistic. But recently everything's been piling onto of me. Last night I just couldn't take it anymore, and I cut for the first time in months. I cried for hours, letting out everything I've been doing so well keeping in for the last couple of months.
Meh...
Its not good to keep things inside.
I dont follow that advice either.
It's human to be stressed, especially during important things like exams, you need to cut yourself some slack and let yourself be stressed. Be aware you're stressed, and do things to relax instead of fighting it.
Your uni will probably offer free relaxation classes, I'd take them up if I were you.
I also called people for no reason, and it wasn't a good night for me last night... Roll on tomorrow and my birthday? =\
I find that crying helps me, just is a release. I don't usually cry infront of people though, I may go teary-eyed, but I have a thing about not crying.
I've never classed it as self harm either but I do it quite frequently because I just get so frustrated with myself all the time.
Surely it's not a form of self harm is it? :nervous:
Still, no urges yet
I agree :yes:
You've come this far, and I know you can keep on going. Believe in yourself, because you know you can concentrate if you just let yourself relax a little
Definitely, your exams will be finished in no time and then you can look back and feel proud that you did you best. Good luck sweetie! xx
Muppetttttttttt!!!!!!
Fuck it. We all fuck up from time to time. Don't beat yourself up over it. Anyway, you're clever, you don't need to revise
Exam didn't go too well, out of 6 questions, found 2 really hard, I'm just thankful this exam was only for sociology though, and not a subject that I care a lot about!
Ta for the 'you're clever' bit!
I get this way quite often. Just all of a sudden. Brought on by something so tiny that no one else would even consider it.
I just asked the guy I'm seeing if he was seeing someone that he mentioned before, because we haven't really got a relationship as such, we're just 'seeing' each other. And then I felt so disgusted at myself for asking it. He answered honestly and said that he was seeing just me, and while that was going on he wouldn't be seeing anyone else. But I just felt like I had to be sorry. I always feel like I have to be sorry.
I hate it.
See, you managed to get through your exam! As click siad we all fuck up sometimes, you just have too put it behind you and move on, and if it comes to it, I'm sure you can always do a re-sit. I've actually done four months now with out any s/h I'm quite proud of myself! Not sure how I'll cope in a couple of weeks when my exams start!
Most people tend to feel a little uncomfortable when someone they like is seeing other people as well. It isn't anything to be ashamed about. It isn't anything to be sorry for.
If you feel bad about it, talk to him, and explain why you felt you had to ask
Top banana! Go you!
You'll cope just fine with your exams. It's only a crappy little test. If you fuck it up, then you can always do a re-sit.
Even if you get mega-stressed with revision and whatnot, what is cutting going to achieve? It'll make you feel miserable that you gave in, and you'll feel sore. Is it worth it for the few minutes of relief?
After the few minutes of relief, you'll still have the exams coming up. You'll still be feeling stressed, you'll still need to revise. But you'll be leaking fluid from your body which is designed to remain inside it - and you'll be sore.
The problems don't go away because you cut.
It's exactly what I'm prone to doing and I don't like it. I just have to keep reminding myself when I'm in that mood that it will only last for about 30 mins-an hour and then I'll feel fine again. It's weird that way.
Am fed up with a few relationships. It feels as if someone is changing. I don't know how, but it just feels like we're getting closer, which is really good, I love him very much, but I don't know if it's me who's changing, or him. I'm just confused.
Constantly thinking about how much bloody revision I have to do. Damn it.
The OCD is still very much around thou. It's sooo bloody annoying. That's the only area I need to work on now. Possibly. The urges I get are so small, and so rare now, it truly is great.
Never thought I'd say it, but councilling has been quite beneficial to me. At times I hate it, and promise myself that I'm never going back, but still I always find myself going back to her.
