you can do it kirsty you really can-you've come so far and you know you can-you know where i am if you need me
well done-im feeling slightly proud of myself as im on 5 days which at the moment is quite a bit for me as had a really bad time of it
Thankyou- didn't harm, so my personal best record goes on!
5 days is brilliant, just take each day as it comes.
Sophie: That's brilliant too
5 days i guess is ok but feels poor to me and so close again
sorry
thanks shadow, HP. just had a shit day.
No, you're not.
You don't want to harm, either. You just think you do. You can do it, Kirsty, I know you can.

Cheers Franki. Just feel like giving up. Fuck knows how I'm going to cope with uni!
Cheers too Shadow, had an ok day, just a bad evening. I've just been seeing how much work I have to do fro my revision yet.
Don't give up! Or I'll come over there and slap you silly .
You will cope with uni, just like I will (I don't know how, but I will). You'll come out the end of it feeling a million times better about yourself, as well.
Chin up, chick. If you keep thinking like that, it will only end up with you feeling worse. Optimism is ten billion times more productive, pessimism means you're more likely to fail. If you think "I can't", then you won't be able to, but if you think "I can", then you just might .
Next time aim for 6. even if you just end up putting of the inevitable try and push it to achive one more day
you know you can do it you are so strong
Thanku Didn't slip up, but just so worried about if I do.
Cheers shadow and hyperperson too.
Why? These things happen. I still slip up sometimes and according to my mother, I'm supposed to be "better". Don't worry if you do slip up, all you do is just keep trying. Know that saying, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again"? Yeh, that works with this too. And you know where I am if you need to chat about anything, I'm usually just a PM away. I'll give you my MSN if you want, as well.

I hate this time of year. I just tried to go into the library but couldn't get past the gate (my card is playing up) and that really panicked me for some reason so I came into a computer room... bugger.
If you want to speak to someone you might want to consider Saneline, Careline or the Samaritans as well - just to get things of your chest.
You can find the numbers on here

I'm being paranoid. Again. Except this time it's about a whole load of different things, but mostly centred around the fact that I have no idea where my boyfriend is. Which is stupid, because I know he'd never do anything, but my mind is just going sirens because it's trying to tell me he's ignoring me. Meh.
Also, the realisation that I'm not going to be on any of the pages of random pictures of the IB people kinda upsets me. Makes me wish I'd tried harder to be friends with them, but I don't know what else I could have done, ya know?
Meh.
Feel like I'm gonna cry. Had such a bad night last night, was the first time in ages I felt like harming. I didn't tell Rich because he'd blame himself, but now I feel guilty for it.
Meh.
I'm just overly emotional, and I don't really know why.
Try to think on the positives of last night. Even though you felt like harming, you didnt. Thats something to be proud of. I self harm too, so i know how hard it can be to resist the temtptation.
Try not to feel guilty either. You have so much to give and dont deserve to be putting yourself through this
