I find that some people are definately triggers in regards to my cutting. my dad for instance; always giving me shit; i never want to be around him unless he's high on weed; it's just too much to handle. I have a few friends that bother me too, but have recently begun to seperate myself from them; as it's unhealthy for me to be around them...

Good Question!

Yes - I know the person whe triggers me the most, but for some reason I still allow him in my life. As I said in a previous post, I am single, but for some reason still see all of my exes. One of them is constantly upsetting me and usually after he leaves I end up cutting. You'd think I'd learn not to allow him in, but there is something that keeps drawing me back.

Yes, my parents, but my mom especially.

My mom. We always fight and it usually ends in insults and then I cut. Also, she does things I don't like, things I won't mention here, but she said she'd do anything for me and I asked her to stop and she won't. It's actually a big part of the reason why I started cutting in the first place, her and my dad.

Yes. My mom is a trigger sometimes. And my ex-bf was a major trigger.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
