GR! 2 weeks ago

In an extremely frustrated state of mind, I find myself wanting to cut. I need to find a way to release this elsewhere. I can’t just keep it bottled up.

Really wanted to do it yesterday, I had a bit to drink, and got emotional. but I think I kept my cool, and was able to resist. It was hard, but let’s hope I can keep it up.

Well. 1 month ago

I threw my blades away yesterday, and things seem to be going okay. It’s been about 3 days since I last had cut myself, and I’m trying to remove any sharp objects from my bedroom, to stop me from relapsing and doing it over a small bit of stress.

Wish me luck.

I haven’t cut in almost 2yrs, but even now when I get upset I sometimes get the urge to cut. It’s something I just deal with and I learned that everytime I get that urge, I just remind myself when I used to cut myself, I was never happy

damn cutting, it used to consume my life, it was like a high I wanted all the time, I would cut sometimes just to see the the blood run down my arm. Almost as to remind myself I was still alive

Seven months.

I wonder when I can click ‘I’ve done this’..



never stopping apparently 3 months ago

so i finally decided i’d try quitting. I mean, i’ve tried a couple times…but not really hard, and i didnt really care. In march i, for some reason, told myself i wasnt going to hurt myself.. that i dont need this. Almost 5 months later I cut again. I’m not going to lie, 5 months seems like an eternity to me.. and then I gave in. After I gave in I felt like shit.. like “omg ..seriously? why did i do this?” I was ashamed of myself. After I started again, i felt no reason to stop again..like i already ruined my 5 month streak.. whats it going to matter if i just keep doing it..? I find no reason to stop myself(its not like im ruining a 5 month sreak).ughhhhhhh how do i just stop? how do i not give up? how do i be strong?

Woot woot. 4 months ago

Six FUCKING months, BITCHES!

Sorry for the ‘bitches’ part but wooooot! I still think about it a lot [Not about DOING it, just…about it I can’t explain it] but at least I haven’t done it. Fuck. 6 months is like the longest I’ve gone – well apart from the time it was like, almost a year but oh well! It’s a lot easier now. I just wish the little white scars would go away :/ Hello, Bio oil!
