Help Needed

[chloeobrien]

I hurt myself on friday... and right now I feel like I'll never be able to stop and that it will always be a apart of my life and I just want it to go away and never come back, but I don't think that is possible. I told my fiance, and he is really upset, and I just don't know what to do anymore. I hate this I really do everytime its out of my life for a while it comes back, and is much worse, and it just really sucks. I hate it.

Pleaseme!

I don't know if this will help but the way you write about it reminds me of how I tend to think alot of the time. Try not to think of it as this massive thing because if you do then you set yourself up to fail, break it down into little bits. If you can stay self harm free for a day then that's an achievement and it's part of the journey to complete freedom. Set yourself a goal like a week or a couple of days, whatever seems right for you. If you make your target make another one and keep going if you don't try again. I'm sure you must know all this stuff anyway but hopefully it will help a little to see it written down...

Hi Chloe,

Ok lets not look at your fiance, but at yourself, youve got all in a panic, youve slipped, you feel youve failed, you feel you'll continue to do this. Its hard but like I say to many of you ok youve tripped, were all allowed to do that, but we all have the strength within us to stand up and start again. You try it kiddo ok Love!!

Hey everyone I am thinking more rationally now, but I am sick now too. Gotta go to the drs sometime this week.

Thanks everyone and if you have anything else to say that might help please post or PM it to me.

Please tell yourself that you will be able to stop and then take positive steps in that direction...find ways to distract yourself and set yourself up for success. The more positive things you can say to yourself and do for yourself the more success you will have. Just begin saying it even if you do not believe it. Because what we say to ourselves and what we think really makes a difference in our actions.

Chloe, pockleberrys given you some really good advice here, read it again, even if a couple of days seems too long, take it hour by hour, then day by day and so on. Remember the more you try and do something Love the easier it gets.

Hello everyone! I am feeling MUCH better now that I've gone home for a weekend and a break from reality. I am confident now that I CAN stop for good, and that I am strong enough too. Thank you all for your advice, like I said before if you have new advice I'd be more than happy to hear it. So far ya'll have been pretty awesome, and been giving really good advice that DOES help out a lot. Please keep me in your thoughts, that I am successful in beating this evil thing.
