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...

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'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...
