How long since you last self injured?

[Arianna]

Ari, sweetie, three days is good. Remember what I said in the other thread? You've made it three days before. You know you can do that. Try to make it a little further, and if you're not ready to ... that's okay. Just remember that you've got the strength to go three days. And that's great.

Bec. I'm here if you need me, sweetie.

Simplesurrender. Are you okay? I'm here if you need me, too ... please don't hesitate to PM or email me if you need to talk or something.

Tn. Hang in there, gorgeous. You can do this. I know it's hard and I know that it sucks. But you'll come out the other side and be the better for it.

Kathleenmary. I'm here if you need to talk, okay, sweetie? Make sure you take good care of the owies - that goes for everyone here. Antibiotic and bandages. Or at least water and soap and toilet paper (tissues are bad because they flake apart easier) if bandages and all aren't available.

Robyn (yey I know your name! *bounces*). Keep going, lovely, you can do it too!

Day 90.

Kathleenmary - don't know if this is your real name, but it speaks of purity and purpose. no matter what, you are still loved - by us and by your Heavenly Father.

Broken4him... you've come a long way. hang in there, you can do it. and don't be hard on yourself. praying for you, you're special.

good going ariana, i see your posts often and am amazed by your strength...

mynewselfimage, keep going, you are making progress in spite of what you might feel.

soulwings, wow! you are a source of inspiration. not only cos of your constant caring for every one here, but also for your strength.

as for me... i think about two weeks. what can i say, i fell, but am coming back up. and i picked some flowers while i was down there

all of you... God has great plans for your life... satan wouldn't target you otherwise. you are always in my prayers.

keep strong
love always

it's getting worse and worse. I can barely go a day anymore. 8 hours..

 

[eccl12.13]

i've been tempted so much this week. i had a very vivid dream the other day where I could actually feel the hype running through me and everything. since then i have been contemplating si...i don't want to do it, not after coming this far--it's been two months since i last injured--yet that dream really got me going. it was so vivid, as if i were doing the si for real and now i'm psychologically responding to that by wanting to feel the hype again.

rrrrrrr!

 

[pockleberry]

well done for making 2 months...You can keep going I'll be praying for this dreams effects to go

 

[mahalia]

yep eccl, it happens like that sometimes... allow God's power to work through you. keep on reminding yourself that you cannot conquer your urges through yourself alone, but through God's power you can do anything - i can do anything through Him who strengthens me!! same goes to you, mynewselfimage... let's not try conquer something on our own when we've got the strongest help available to us...

don't allow satan to tell you you're horrible and weak... allow God's message to be the only truth in your life.

you might already know this, but try find a good way to get rid of the negativity... some things we cannot change, but definitely do sports. i'm not a sporting fan at all, but i started doing karate two years ago and i promise, it makes all the difference!! it allows you to work out all your frustration and provides a larger circle of friends. jogging, netball, swimming... whateva. any psychologist will tell you that sport helps a lot for your peace of mind. and if you're an artist... let those creative juices flow!

i've had those urges so much these past few days and it's HORRIBLE, i know. just keep trying to find a postitive way, something to do rather than cutting or any other si. i write and do my katas. find something, however silly it might feel.

keep going strong girls... through Christ you are stronger than you think

always here for you.

Ari! Yey, I'm so proud of you for going so far. I know what a struggle it is ... and you are overcoming it, little by little, baby step by baby step. That is so awesome, and inspiring, and encouraging, and and and ... *bubbles over for a little bit*

Robyn Try to figure out what's behind the urge to SI. What's making it so hard right now. Knowing the cause often helps win the battle over it. SI'ing isn't going to solve anything, and if you don't cut, nothing bad is going to happen. This goes for all of you girls, and for me, and everyone who SIs. I'm not condemning anyone for cutting - far from it, please don't think I'm doing that - I just want you to realise that there is not going to be a catastrophic event in your life if you don't cut. That's how I thought for a long time. "I HAVE to do it, or else [blank] will happen." But it doesn't work that way. s

Marie, it's good to hear that you picked some flowers, hehe. Two weeks is great *hug* ... and it doesn't matter if you fall as long as you're willing to pick yourself up and trudge forwards again.

Eccl., the dream was just a dream. I understand how freaking vivid they can be, and how they can create urges, but it's just a dream. It doesn't mean that you have to cut having had that dream (I've thought that a lot before, I'm not sure if it's anything like what you're going through but ... ). Stay strong - two months is awesome - and I know that you can make it through this rough spot.

/me crash tackle hugs all her girls and sends them prayers and love as best as she can.
