Drunk but determined 1 week ago

I apolosigse for any spelling or anything in this as I’m a litte tiposy but I felt like I should write here now as in general when I fele like cutting I’M drunk. Other people go through worse things than me and, even though cutting is my way of coping, it’ snot the best way. And I don’t want to do it anymore… I’m going on ohliday soon and have to cover my scars€ to hide it and always willl have to. I don’t wan tto have to end up having all my body covered because of scars. I don’t want to cut anymore. End of. I want to remind myself o this everythime I want to cut. How can I always remind myself?

SI is a viscious circle – when your in it you cant see any way out, when your out of it you cant understand the people in it, and when you have no idea its happening your oblivious to the apin millions of people silently suffer every day!

1 year, and 2 days without. I’m really proud of myself. When I first tried to stop I could go a few months but then I’d do it again. I finally made it a year without. All the marks are pretty much faded now too (even if they’re not 100% faded it’s not as noticeable as it was). I’ve been upset since I last did this of course, but I’ve haven’t gone back to doing this – and I’m glad.

I want to stop cutting, but i dont know how you guys can do it, i mean I stopped for about 3 months and then, tonight I cut. I feel like my head is full of syrup, clogging my brain, pushing at my forehead. And I mean, I feel so stupid like ‘What am i doing’. like i’m outside my body, watching me do this to myself but doing nothing to stop me.

And to add to it, I haven’t been sleeping much. like 3 or 4 hours of sleep and then i’ll wake up again. I hate pills and half the time i end up choking on them, so i avoid them at all costs. But in the rare event i actually get some down, i have to take 2 or 3 of the equate Pain reliver PMs, in order to get about 6 hour of sleep. Witch is only 2 or 2 and a 1/2 hours more. so then i feel like a pill popper and just want to hit myself over the head for it. but it seems like i cant do anything about it if i want to get to sleep.

f anyone has ANY advice besides breathing tequneqs and distraction methods. I’d love it if you would E-mail me. BlackEyeButterfly@live.com

Almost a month! =) 2 months ago

It’s been 25 days since I last cut, though there have been many times I’ve wanted to, and I did try once, but didn’t have anything sharp enough.. But it’s still quite good I guess
