How long since you last self injured? (4)

[Onlybythelight]

Since 8th of April, so three days! Pretty good for me... I had the most life amazing experience at Easter Camp over Easter weekend and got the chance to talk to a wonderful man who had struggled with various addictions over the years, I can honestly say he has changed my life. Stay strong everyone!

Congrats on your almost week Criada!
I hit my 5 month mark today. Not sure how to feel about it right now. But as a friend of mine would say, "Our skin thanks us".

Yesterday. I really hate feeling like its the only way to cope at times.

That's a horrible feeling.
Have you tried making a list of things you can do to get through the rough patches without SI? It helps to have some other strategies in place before the urge gets too strong.
Praying for you.

It's been a month, but I've been highly tempted lately. The past two days were horrible.

Thank you...
I'm not thrilled about it...I wish I were but I'm not. And that makes me feel selfish because I know there are plenty of people who would love to have made it as far as I have.
My abuser revealed to me that he has had bouts with self injury. Specifically, he had these bouts after we talked about what he had done to me. Ever since he told me that, I didn't feel like I could self injure anymore. There were so many feelings associated with knowing that he himself had done it. I have no desire to be anything like him so I quit cutting in an attempt to not be like him. Which may or may not be a positive thing, but the gist is that it feels like just another thing he took from me.
Sigh. I'm struggling.

About 4 hours . . .

May you make it even longer next time.

 

[SplendidTree]

You can do it, everyone!

Praying for everyone.

I'm sorry, I can understand that must lead to conflicting emotions
Praying that things get easier, sweetie.
