So I am sitting here looking at my scars and reliving the cutting that gave them to me. I am remembering how I did it and what it felt like. I am remembering why I did it and the feeling of relese I got from the act. I don't want to cut and I keep reminding myself why I am not doing it any more. I just need a little help getting through the tough moments. I do not need to go to the hospital right now and am hoping that I can get through this without a visit to the state hospital.

It will get better *hugs* Also you might want to call your doctor and get worked in to see them.
You hold on, and know your not going to die, explode, fall apart....
You hold on to us, pick up the phone, go to a meeting (12 step/NAMI/DBSA)
You hold on knowing you have NOT cut and how proud and good that success was!
((((BIG HUG)))) I am sorry your struggling - but I want to remind you, its a illness, addiction and a very bad - no good comes of it - trial and challenge...
Keep fighting a good fight!
A good trick for me is using the Serenity Prayer like Q&A
What do I have to accept? The urge
What can I change? I don't have too

Can you tell cutting is not in my personal baggage car? Not to worry. There are plenty of problems to go around... Still, I find my old habits easier to modify if I acknowledge their benefit and find another source. Release (venting) emotions is an important benefit in my personal madness.
At the very least, there is strength in sharing. I'm rooting for you, sweetie. Hope you find your way.
