I'm doing a bit better today. I didn't cut. I wanted to. I still want to. But I don't feel as suicidal today. Taking time away from my boyfriend has really helped. It's scary because I worry that he won't stick around, but it's helping because I know he isn't good at dealing with depression. 


I spent the day cleaning and it helped. The apartment isn't so messy anymore. I only cleaned the kitchen and the bathroom today. That was all I could handle. I'll clean the bedroom tomorrow.


I'm just doing what I can this time. To stay safe. I'm staying with friends and family. I'm keeping away from sharp objects and making sure I have the crisis line number on speed dial.


I wish I was in my own apartment tonight but my boyfriend has friends sleeping over. I can't be around people I don't know. So I'm at my mom's. It feels wrong being here. I don't belong here anymore. My apartment is home now and I miss it.


But I'll be home tomorrow. I can hold on until then.


Thank you guys for your support. I really need it.

I'm happy you didn't cut today. It's a scary feeling. I was having urges to cut a few years back but got help and am happy to say I don't think about it anymore. I hope one day you will say the same. Hang in there and stay strong.

    I am suffering from the inability to cope with ordinary every day things.  From my housework to watching tv or reading a book.  I get palpatations, nervousness, at the moment my heart is palpatating and all I am doing is typing this.  I am so scared its silly, I just want to stay in bed and just get up for meals and coffee.  Not that that is going to happen.  At the moment I have my daughter...
