I am proud of myself. I havent cut in so long! Yes it's been tempting and so challenging to resist it in times of stress, and anger. Ever since I started working a county job I have felt both happier and a little more stressed.
I find myself wanting to please everyone at work, and trying to determine the appropriate response to each of my 9-1-1 calls. Then when I come home, and Im trying my hardest to de-tox from work.
I just find myself melting into music, and grabbing a beer. YAY FOR BEER!! heh.

im proud of you for not cutting, and im glad that you are proud of yourself. it will always be easier if you look at the good about yourself and dont think about the flaws, everyone has flaws but for the most part, they really dont matter. yay for you being happier at your job! im not sure how long you've worked there but im guessing not that long, all jobs start out stressful, you'll get the hang of everything and then wont be as stressed, you'll find yourself more bored than stressed.
i found it kinda funny when you said grabbing a beer to try to detox, lol, but as long as you arent doing anything stupid while your drinking then im glad it works for you. music is a lovely invention, i'd die without it.
keep resisting the urges, they get less and less strong as time goes on. hope things keep getting better for you, good luck with work and everything else!
