Due to a range of various things I havn't posted for a while. I had to spend the weekend with my parents, which is very difficult for me. My mom still doesn't know that I SI i'm not strong enough to tell her, and i don't know that she's strong enough to take it. I'm still having a hard time trying to motivate myself to go to some of my classes. I have a terrible time getting through my shifts at work. I started seeing a counciler on campus. She's helping me deal with alot that i've been going through recently. I don't want to deal with people anymore. If I can avoid leaving my dorm room I have been. I don't know how to deal with peole when i feel so unmotivated.

I don't want to SI but i couldn't stop. It felt so right and I was so releaved when I had done it. I'm feeling a bit hopeless in stopping and don't know where to start anymore.

I could use someone to talk to.

I have to say, telling my mom about it was the best thing I ever did. Yes, at first I thought that I would throw up just at the thought of it, but it truly made it a lot easier for her to understand me. I thought that there was no way that she could handle it, and she was freaked out at first, but then she started reading about it and found how common it is. I only told her because when I was in high school the social worker figured it out and I was afraid she would tell my mom, so I wanted to beat her to it. It was a rough week or so (but I still lived at home then), but I am so glad I came out and said it. It is nice to not have to cover my scars anymore (although it took me a LONG time to get to that point.)

    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...
