so recently, i have started to cut again. not to the degree it once was, but i am sure, if i keep this up, it will surpass it.
the last cuts are still there in scabs on my left arm. i had a massive break down and broke my obama candle and with the broken peice of the lightbulb that was still attatched to the candle, i cut my arm.
when i did it i was well aware of what i was doing. i wanted to release those damn endorphines and feel better- so i did. i was ashamed as i did it, but still did it.
whats more emabrassing is though, that i have been having these break downs. i dont know. i just wanted to tell some one i cut myself. no one out here gets it. they think they do. but they dont. i know you guys get it though. which is slightly comferting.

oh, and cutting now is complety diffrent then it was just years ago.- perhaps its because i am more self aware? or just older..i dont know- but its not nearly as rewarding...which is more fustrating...ugh.

I have been having the same problem. I was starting to cut myself a lot again and having intense suicidal thoughts. So I cut a lot. And now Im in this tangle with my dad and cps, so Im wanting to cut really bad, but I do my best to refrane, so all I can tell is to try your hardest not to do it, its not good for you and it just adds to your guilt. Cuz I know everytime I do it, I feel really guilty. So Im guessing you probly do too. Try just journaling or maybe squeezing ice. Its a lot better, just know Im here for support if you need it, just message me.

I've also stopped cutting and then started again, and now I'm trying to stop again... it's so hard! Yeah, just try to use other coping skills (I really like going for walks and listening to music) and keep talking to us about how you're feeling! Best wishes!

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...
