I know i shouldn't but sometimes it's all too much to handle and i end up self harming. I usually go for my left wrist because i have more strength in my right hand to do more damage, but it's been really hot in Australia lately because i have no idea (it's autumn it shouldn't be 28 degrees) and so it's hard to cover my wrist. I get really self conscious. My right wrist isn't that bad because there's only one or two light cuts, but my left is hard to hide sometimes. I can't help but cut there because i don't know where else to cut, to let it out. I know I shouldn't, especially because when it sinks in what i've done it makes me cry more but in the moment, even if it's only for 30 seconds, i feel better. I don't really know how to stop...
I stopped for a while, but lately even if i can't find anything sharp i use my nails and although my nails aren't that long, they still make me bleed. It's like i can't escape anymore.
It just annoys me that parents warn you about the dangers out there in the world, but they never warn you about yourself...y'know?
I could quite possibly, be the end of me.

I've never been warned about the dangers in the world lol. I've just had to experience them by surprise. Now I know all kinds of horrible shit and how awful the world is. Why do you have to be warned about yourself? What happened that is making you want to cut?

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
