Its almost been three months since the last time I used pain to heal what I felt on the inside. To temporarly distract myself from the pain that hurts on the inside and place it on the skin of my arm. I couldnt do it tonight. I couldnt resist the thoughts that were attacking me to do it. So family...get ready to see cuts on my arms for Christmas. I gave in.

I didn't cut for close to 20 years. I don't want anyone to see either so I cut enough to bleed a little and then I have the pain. I then press on the cuts for the next few days just to keep getting pain. Wish I could stop again but the pain in my life is too much lately.

.... I can relate to that feeling.... I went two years without cutting myself and a year ago it all went to shit! I feel like giving up everday... I just try the hardest I can... knowing that I went that long before... I can do it again and so can you... just try for one more day ... live to get through the day... concentrate on todays events, or just live by the minute or the sec whichever is manageable. If you need to talk I am here for you... Keep your head up, you have just stumbled!

    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...
