im not coping that great at the moment. im not to sure as to what has triggered me off. i ended up cutting myself on friday night for the first time in ages. i've struggled all weekend. i feel so ashamed of what ive done and i feel as though i have let the people around down. i feel weak and useless. i can't even be strong enough to withstand those thoughts. i dont know anymore. stuff just sucks. i dont know what else to say.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Anyway, I hate when I dip on weekends too. Still, feeling guilty about being "human" just aggravates everything. We all get weak. I find the strongest people on here struggling badly at times. They are still amazing to me!
I don't know if it's about "withstanding" thoughts. Suppression just seems to create issues. I've always felt that way and, now that I am reading Alice Miller, that just keeps being reinforced. Check out my pics and tell me what you think of the pages I scanned. (Click on them and they get larger.)
I just want to go to bed right now and, instead, I keep running to the restroom. Ugh! Anyway, I need to set up the scanner and I am going to put up a few more pages from another book that might be interesting. I want to do it tomorrow afternoon, if I can just go to bed instead of getting yucky! :(
If so they do not seem to be working and you need to see your doctor to get different ones.
I know guilt is a big issue but do not be ashamed of what you have done, people feel concerned that you are in a low state at the moment and care for you without judging. You do need to see a Doctor or get to the hospital if you feel so low. Have you told anyone else how low you are feeling?
If not can you tell somone in your family who can support you through this bad patch. You may be feeling weak now but this will pass.
