it's been almost 3 months since i cut last, but just couldn't take it anymore, i had to do it. i couldn't sleep and i kept having flashbacks and i was depressed...severely. it's getting to be that time of year again, where everything goes into the shitter, it's winter, we turned the clocks back last night, which means it's getting dark at about 6 now. i always get bad around this time of year. i'm so angry with myself though that i cut again. i wish i could die...

Hey... you went 3 months without cutting. That's a long time, and you're stronger than you know. I can relate to getting down because of the season... when I go to work the sun isn't up yet and when I leave it's already down... but I'm learning to see colors (thanks K) and the winter has a lot of white and blue, and those remind me of starting new. You're not alone...

3 months is a long time... that is excellent...

you had a little relapse, you are human... these things happen

I have the opposite as you.. i get happy when it gets cold, the beginning of summer is usually when i start having my major set backs. You cut.. so what, it is what it is so now get back up and move on. at least you are still here and thats what truely counts!!
I would rather you be here with a few marks and a bad attitude then to not be here at all!! Hugs and Kisses!

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
