10 minutes ago. 5 weeks down the tube. I don't think I'll ever be able to overcome this. I feel completely hopeless.

Soulwings · Jul 18, 2006

Texannurse. Sweetie, you will conquer this. Don't go thinking that the 5 weeks were for nothing; that's an AMAZING accomplishment, one that I can hardly dream of achieving. I'm so proud of you for that. This is only a slipup on the road to recovery. Don't give up hope - you CAN conquer cutting. You CAN.

One day.

17 days, feels like down the drain, but it ISN'T, I CAN do this.

Big hugs. But I can see you are thinking rightly when you say feels like it is 17 days down the drain....BUT IT ISN'T. You are right it isn't. And 17 days is a huge accomplishment. That is how I started out...and now I'm at 5 months. Keep it up and I'm really sorry you got to that place where you felt you had no more options. You can defeat this, In Jesus Name.

soulwings,
17 days is awesome! and you are right, its ok to mess up, to give in. I feel like cutting really bad right now but I know that this IS very possible to beat, and I know God is going to bring joy from our suffering, its ok to hurt we can let it purify us and deepen our faith and just cling to the hope that victory is ours, someday we will be in glory where the sufferings here are not even worth comparing to. That's how much there is to look forward to as well as the fact that God has GOOD for us on this earth to experience. Every trial is a chance to learn and develop something new. Hang in there, and try to just REST in God's comforting presence.

Always,
Christina

I haven't done self harm for 6 months. There are days when it becomes a struggle to keep myself from doing it. But I'm doing pretty good not letting it happen. It is hard though to get any length of time from it.

very good angel...that's a long time! Bless you! Maybe you could help us and minister to those who are week to week...even day to day.

that is where your strength lies angel...with others.

Thanks Berry and Christina

About 13 hours and I don't even know why I did it. I don't get it. I'm so confused. I just cut because I needed to, not because there were any external stressors or anything. And now my mum's mad at me and dad's disappointed, and that only makes things worse.

berry2000 · Jul 19, 2006

((((soulwings)))
Listen to me okay. Right now...you do not need to figure out why. And you do not need to worry about mum and dad's dissappointment. If fact you are not in a place where you can do either at the moment. What you can do is start new again with a new day and say today I am not going to do this. This is against God's plan for me. I am one of God's precious chosen creatures. You would never ever think to harm another person and you have just as much value as anyone else. I do, i really do, understand the "I just cut because I needed to feeling" BUT it is a lie. You have to find other ways of coping. I will try to PM you some links and "other" stuff you can do.

Hugs and Blessings,
And please PM me ANYTIME!!!!

Sweetie, I know you can do this. I'm still barracking for you sis

Soulwings · Jul 20, 2006

Steffi. I don't know if I can do this. It's back to an everyday thing. I feel like such a hypocrite encouraging people when all I do is fall.

14 hours.

soul wings, have you tried venting in other ways? i found that to be the best solution for my tempations to do si again....life is frustrating for me right now, really frustrating, and without those over avenues i have found i know i'd be back to si.

i mentioned in another post that venting in another way, one which is comparable in the closest way possible, is the only thing i've found to be a help. like, i was a really harsh si-er, VERY extreme and harsh, so i have had to use other extreme and harsh things as my new avenue. like, i'll throw big heavy rocks that are hard to pick up into a field or stream or i'll wack a big stick against a tree....the idea for me is to find something that takes some physical exertion. it's different for each individual si-er but this would be my biggest suggestion.

next, also make sure you're asking God to give you the strength to stand strong. this is the biggest mistake i made while si-ing and it's still a factor for me sometimes even now that i'm not in si anymore. he is there and can help but you have to ask.

if you want to talk about it one on one, feel free to pm me. i know what you're dealing with so don't feel like you're in this alone. and i know how strong the temptations can be, too, and how compelling the circumstances in your life are. i'll be praying for you.
