Day 219
Well, I'm doin' it. I'm pushing forward. I'm not going to cut. My reasons are as follows:
-I have to be able to work in a professional setting without a future patient seeing scars. My arm needs to heal.-I deserve a life without cutting. -Cutting is cyclical. If I start again, it will be very difficult to stop. I've worked too hard to go back.-I want to feel proud of myself and stand tall. I can't do that if I am cutting. Cutting knocks my self-esteem down and I start to feel self-conscious, sad, and afraid of continuing in life.-I want my family and my future family (children, husband, etc) to be able to know that I am healthy and happy. My family doesn't deserve worrying about me.
