Hey all so this past week was a bitch if you want to put it bluntly. I have been fighting with my inner voises and also with my anxiaty a lot and it has coused me to cut again. i am not proud of this i am very sad that i relapesed after a two years of not cutting. my mom was there to make sure i did not do somthing worse then just on my arm she riped the knife out of my hand and held me to calm me down. i am still deeling with my anxiaty at this point but it is not as bad my mom and my best friend are there for me and i know i have this group for suport.

Sorry you have relapsed. I am glad that you do have some support. Maybe you could talk to a therapist. I don't know if that is an option for you. I am hoping things will get better and we are here for you. Anxiety is awful. It really is. Big hugs!

Welcome to the anxiety board at DS.

You've taken the important first step in writing it out.

I would suggest you use the journal regularly to work out your feelings.

Hello Puppy. Welcome to DS. I noticed you have been lurking for a while. Congratulations on finding the courage to come out of the proverbial internet shadows.

Relapses have been a common recurrence in my own recovery. The good news is that I have yet to relapse all the way back to square one. Each time I relapse, I find I know a little more about how to find my way back. Each trip back seems to be a little more confident and sustainable.

Steadying support while you find your own way through. Welcome aboard.

I’m so glad you have support. It prevented you from doing something regrettable. It’s so hard to be comforted when you’re having an anxiety attack. I wish you all the best in treating your anxiety.

I'll hope to that, Puppy. Steadying support while you make it so.

Be gentle with yourself and patient with the process.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
