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 would like to help! [b/c i wish someone had gotten through to me]
i always thought....i'll always be this fat and ugly...so i won't need to worry about the scars
I used the self injury to turn off emotions. I was never allowed to be angry, and didn't have someone i could trust with my other emotions.
free assosication writting helped me....i still do a bit of ranting to this day!
for me, things get soooo intense inside. I don't know how else to let them out or distract myself from things. I am 37 now and still fight this.
Keep telling her how much you love her, how much you want to help, that you may not understand fully, but want to be there for her.

I just wanted to praise you for being such a great mom and trying to help your daughter out as much as you can. I'm keeping your family in my prayers. Message me if you ever just need to talk. I know I'm young...but I've been through a lot of stupid problems.
it would be better if she were here...or a different site that you are not a member of.
and my self injury is a side effect,...not the beginning of the problem
