I'm in a frenzy...the situation is this:
I've been at odds with my mom lately, isn't everyone, I just moved out leaving my horses at her farm. She got upset and since we're legally over the limit on the amount of horses we have she's making me sell mine. I ride religiously...she's ridden 9 times in the 7 years we've owned them. Also, because I won't do back breaking labor for her daily anymore, she won't let me ride hers.
Riding is my escape...it's what lets me forget all my problems except for what's coming up around the bend in the trail. Whenever I get an urge to do something stupid, I'd grab a horse, throw on a bridal and gallop bareback through the field across the road and it would melt away. Without that I'm not coping well...I had gone over 2 1/2 years without self harming...the disappointment of breaking stride in my recovery is crushing. Worst than what made me do it in the first place!
Does anybody have ANY ideas on a possible next move? I'm fresh out...

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...
