Time for a new hobby!!!! Yoga? Cross-stitch? Get a parakeet and teach it to talk? I wish I had a parakeet, but no pets allowed here :(

I know, brownie sundaes! Brownie sundaes are my answer to everything.

I'm sorry - that's a lot of exclamation points and kinda light-hearted. I do understand how hard it is. I've been struggling a lot more this week than usual with thoughts of cutting. I'm trying different things to keep me distracted, but also trying to open up about it with friends so they can hold me accountable.

This is the time to reach out and ask for help. We don't have to do this alone, if we have people there for us it can help so much. I realised that alot of the time talking about what's upsetting you actually does calm you down, and you're less likely to want to cut.
Try distraction over and over until the urge is gone.
