I did some cutting and burning in my teens but had not done so for about 10 years until about a month or two ago when I was starting to process sex abuse stuff. Since then I have only been able to go a couple days at a time, but currently have about a week (October 9th was my first cut free day) and I signed up to sponsor a little girl from the Congo at a women of faith conference whose birthday is Oct. 9th so that hopefully I can think about/pray for her or write her a letter to get myself out of my own head when I get in those moods. It is worth a shot and has worked so far as well as my tattoo artist had the same history and she told me if she sees fresh cuts she won't continue to tattoo me so that is some insentive since I am almost fully sleeved and have my head tattooed as well. :-)

I started cutting again for the first time since March. But this time, I don't use my arms, I use my stomach so no one could tell. I know this is just as bad, but I've exhausted all my efforts to be strong... I don't know what to do anymore...

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...
