Post here when you feel like cutting

[kathleenmary]

Hey Kath,

How are you doing? How often do you see your counselor. What suggestions do you and the counsleor come up with to distract you from cutting? Is it real hard being on the cheerleading squad. It sounds so cool! Love, Tapero

hey,
im doing good! thanks for asking. i see my counsellor every two weeks. i would see him more, but he doesnt really take out insurance. we talked about a lot of things insteqad of cutting, but i didnt find anything that has worked for me yet. cheerleading is a lot of work but i still love it =]

Hey there. Time to quiet yourself down. Take a breath and relax your whole being. Breathe. Now like the others find someone to talk to. They aren't telling to do so for their health but for yours. Getting the "secret" out is half the battle sometimes. Also, like some of the others, find things to do that you love. You are a person created by God; Worthy of respect, love, and dignity. Now do some investing and take care of yourself. We love you. Can you see it in all the replies? Live for that love if you can't live yours right now. Most of all. God loves you and if you are His. He is with and in you always. mamalonglegs

Hi there: Is there anything else in life you want for yourself besides doing what you said in your post? You might talk such things with your counselor. But there is more to life than degrading one's person. What might that be for you? Think about it? Okay. Praying for tonight.

I want to cut so badly right now... i havent cut for like a whole week i think... but i am just feeling really low and yucky atm... and have been all day... the urge is sooooo strong today...

beckybooiloveu: Take a breath and relax. Yes, like the others said, talk to someone. Letting out the "secret" always helps. Think of things that you love to do as others mentioned. Start doing that which you love instead of tearing apart that which many love, including God who created you. mamalonglegs

I cut again the other night. I was scared to do it but the urge was so strong. Now its a fight to not do it again. I just dont feel the release I get from cutting when I pray. I have really tried.

 

[Bgirl]

I iwsh I coulds get the same release from prayer as I do with cutting. I havent done it in a while, till the weekend. Then I had a bad time and mum wouldnt let me go home and I just felt so embarrased and I gave up trying. .

 

[kathleenmary]

[foxyfan]

Bgirl you tripped and fell but you have not failed you just need to stand back up and say this i will try to do better.

I just got so many thoughts spinning in my head that i want to get rid of but only if i could but i cant, atleast i cant without slipping up again.

Ari: Do not think about the long term. Just take it one moment at a time and fill that moment with something you love or spend it with someone you love. You know, once a moment passes it will never return again. Take it slow and put some meaning into your life with all your might. You are worthy of love and respect. mamalonglegs

i'm sorry Steffi your faith is extremely misplaced - there is no point in having faith in me.

My faith isn't misplaced at all Hun . I believe in you and I'm going to keep believing in you, because I know you can do it Ari - I really do

thanks mamalonglegs
it is really so hard to see it like that (but i can try).......i seem to only be able to think in terms of: i'm either stopping forever..or...not stopping at all.

Steffi ,...i don't know how to make you understand how useless i am !!

Steffi ,...i don't know how to make you understand how useless i am !!

That's because you're not useless at all Hun. I would hope that after knowing you these last few months that I understood at least that . I think you're awesome Ari

Ari My Dear: You can think in shorter terms. Look I'm an avid outdoors woman. Meaning I live in it a lot and have trekked over 8,000 miles in the mountains. You know what. If I thought about climbing every mountain, setting a time limit, I would really be discouraged. Because the one I'm presently climbing is extremely tough. I keep having to stop every few minutes just to catch my breath. My thinking is slowed to not even climbing this mountain but I'll walk to that tree up there then take a rest. Understand what I'm saying. Find your resting places and not look for an end that does not exist yet.

Ari: I totally agree with Steffi. You are NOT useless. Did you come with that idea all by yourself? Or did you learn that from someone or through something else. God Loved you before you were formed. You are not useless to Him. He created you and sacrificed for you. Try finding out in the Bible what God has to say about His love for you. You might find out that you're not so useless as you think. Check it out. Be proactive! mamalonglegs
