I need help really bad. I have been 2 years without cutting myself and I have been fighting within myself so bad lately not to go back to it. The only reason I wasnt cutting was I wasnt under enough pressure enough to feel like I need to cut, AND my best friend promised not to hurt herself at the same time I did. Well, yesterday she went back on that promise and hurt herself, now she gave me permission to make it fair to but now Im REALLY Struggling not to because I know that once I do, like a binger that starves for a while, they binge like crazy. Im afraid I will hurt myself too much. Like hospitalization too much. I really want to so bad and Im having a hard time convincing myself that its bad and I cant do it anymore. That is why Im posting this to see if anyone can help convince me how much I CANT do it. I have a lot of shit going on that I cant talk about and I need a break but no one will let me alone to have a break and think about all this shit all this stress and just simple little things are bothering me so fucking badly...I just dont know what to do.
you can push through this.. you are strong, and two years is AMAZING! better than anything i have done (mind you i've only been cutting for a year) try anything to distract you...
believe me when i say cutting is so not worth it. i know your friend did, but yuo can be strong, and just because she did, doesn't mean that you have to. she would be a hypocrite to tell you not to, but i think she feels that she wants you to not as well. and you've gone 2 years, so you can push through it.
if you need someone to talk to, i'm available...
you can do it.. believe in yourself.
