I have alot of medical problems and have been fighting with self harm for about eight years now. I dont know how to stop for good. I have been doing so good. But I have had to have three surgeries in the past four months, including a hysterectomy and being diagnosed with thyroid cancer. It seems as though it was all just to much. I cant handle it. I am in so much emotional pain that i cant stand it. I dont know how to deal with the emotional pain. I can handle physical pain. Why is that so much easier. I dont want to get started cutting agian. I have been doing so good. But all I have ever wanted was a baby and now i cannot have one and everywhere I look there are babies and pregnant poeple. I just want to scream and cut so bad every time i see them.

I am so sorry to hear this. But please dont cut, it wont make it any better. I think that you should talk to someone (professional) if you arent already. What about adoption? Lots of hugs and support!

Im sorry. Try to hang in there. Don't give up the progress you've made. Maybe trying writing to get your feelings out. That helps me sometimes.

My heart goes out to you!! Obviously you are a stronger woman than you even realize because you've come thru so much, I'm sure more than I even know. Getting a "counsellor" or someone professional in your life to help you sort out some of your pain would be ideal, but I know some people are scared to take that route. It has worked miracles in my life. Talking about the things that bind us with someone "trust worthy" is also a great way to let the pain go. Please don't hurt yourself anymore , you sound like you want better for yourself , so please reach out & get the help you need to put the hurt to rest!! God Bless!! *Hugss*

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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...
