Not doing to good. About a week ago I cut, and I haven't cut in almost 3 years and I was very proud of that, but now I feel sort of like a failure for doing it. There's just SO MUCH stress going on in my life right now its suffocating me.

That's rough, I've often thought about doing that as well, quite often in fact. I've tried before and failed, and I've stopped trying, I hate pain a lot, and I'm already in pain everyday, so I know that's not going to help things. My previous post here still stands though, if you need someone to talk to.

Venting can work, do you care to let some of it out?

Hi,

Please don't berate yourself for cutting again...

The stress you are experiencing must be enormous

Writing it down, telling someone, calling a helpline, will all help

Sometimes you cant see the forest for the trees

Whenever I am suicidal I have a shower or a walk

Sounds silly right

But it often works to somehow halt the worst of the emotional storm

I also cry...a lot....as much as I need to...! Whenever I feel like it! I believe it is a healthy release!

And I will put music on, whatever I need - something sad if I feel sad, something hopeful when I want to stop feeling sad...

Just my ways of coping...I've been doing it a loooooong time...

I hope the worst has passed. Please understand it is the stressors that is causing your behavior not YOU, you are not a Bad Person!

Work on the stressors in tiny steps if you can

Talk about it and/or drink water if you cant

drinking water helps, I don't know why but it does...water helps, full stop...the mentally ill should be prescribed a beach holiday...

    Just thought I would join this group now that I am a widower.  My wife passed away May 28th. She was "The Wind Beneath My Wings".  When I met her, I was a drunken, dope smoking, fighting, hell raising biker.  She told me if I could get rid of the inner storm within me, that I could be a blessing to people. God placed her in my path to stop me.  I have been drug and alcohol free now for 53...

    I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only.  It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals.  I have been wanting a new dress.  I like dressing up sometimes.  My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant.  But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again.  I went through this in the fall.  I bought...
