I work pretty hard not to cut. It happens when I am alone or late at night like now when the house is quiet and the panic builds. My therapist (yes I have one of those) asked me to explain what it feels like right before I cut. I told her it feels as if I am buried alive and I am trying to claw my way out of the coffin. Cutting gets me out of the coffin.
So last night was very very bad. My dear friend and supporter was working all night and my husband was peacefully sleeping. I took pictures of my cutting because I was so disgusted at my behavour and then I wrote in my journal. I posted those pictures because i don't hide what I do. It helps me to be accountable,get help and support and not make excuses. I didn't in my teary state think that maybe posting those two pics was a bad idea. I am sorry if it upset anyone. They have been removed and I will never be so stupid again.
Once again I am sorry,
Sue

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...
i think if i had to show people mine, it might scare me out of doing it!
i dunno...but it's worth a shot
[not on DS though]
so thank you for posting this, it's helpful for me to know your methods of trying to stop.
