im really proud of myself cause i really really wanted to burn myself (im a burner more so then a cutter) but i didnt. i had to take extra sleep meds and knock myslef out so that i wouldnt hurt myself but thats progress, right? i almost gave in but i made myself not do it and i know that all of you know how hard of a struggle that is! anyway, i just wanted to post something positive!
