I’m so sick of this.
its never enough
the only way it will be enough is if I bleed to death
I’m going to end it
I don’t want the whispers, the looks, the gossip
I’m tired of this defining me
I really truly don’t want to do this anymore
but I’m not sure if can go without it
the darkness will return
but its better than being slowly desroyed on the inside and out
I want to quit cutting
but I need help

Hi hun.
You can quit cutting
and will.
Change will happen when u make it happen.
Even if it is just the smallest step in the right direction, be proud. The first few steps are the hardest…. but before u know it u will be running into a better life, the one u thought u’d never had.
I have a link to a web page showing how bad cutting gets.
It may be the motivation u need to stop.
It is disturbing however..
These suggestions may help also…
U need to make that little wee step hun..
Get a notebook and start writing.
With your intrest in phycology u would make a very good writer, to get into the characters heads is what make a great story.
Bury your cutting tools.
Buy yourself a gift… a fluffy pillow to hold really does help.
That and a board u have made of pictures and sayings u have found, of what u want and wish u have, to look at, and think about having.
You choose…whether to give up at the first obstacle or give it your all, to speak up or stay silent, to change what you don’t like or let it change you. With every word, every step you take, you define who you are—and create your future.

bury them? I don’t think I can do that. I’m afraid that the first time I get stressed out, ill give in too easily. but I have to remember all the bad things I don’t like about cutting I think. writing helps yeah but I usually don’t have time.
and the link, it says most of the pics have been removed to make room on the server or something

mkay well thanks! :)
I am glad to hear you a quitting!!! I know you can put this behind you. You need to find a new way to deal with your stress/pain/sadness. I don’t think it matters what it is (exercise, volunteer work, writing, whatever) but once you choose, pour your heart and soul into it. Own it! Let it take you out of this rut your in. If you ever wish to talk, I’m here for you. Even it is just a distracting conversation about the weather :) Amelia is a wonderful person. I know she will help in any way she can. She is a very good friend to have.

aww eddieee u r kind
and yes here 4 u always falling no mater what
aww thanks guys…. I feel so lucky to be friends with u on help :D
I think ur right eddieee I do need to find an absorbing hobby, this is a good time cause ill be spending like the entire day at dance camp pretty soon
I think I can do it…. but then I don’t want to… but I don’t want to go back either…. but I’m sick of being tired all the time and everything
Dance camp? Your a dancer then? Sounds perfect. Great for the body, mind, and soul :)
tiredness goes hand in hand with depression.
Exercise will get the circulation moving, the dance camp is going to be so good 4 u hun
How long have you been dancing? Have you been to dance camp before or is this something you are just starting?
right c u beautiful people lata.. I gotta go do some jobs now.
xxoo

I did ballet for 5 years, and irish dance for almost 5 years and counting :) and this dance camp is a summer thing when the classes end
bye amelia cya laters
workshop this weekend for 5 days at night for 3 hours, then a week or 2 after that there 2 weeklong camps that I leave at 7am and get back at 6pm lol. and its irish dance- yay :)
That sounds like a long day! Alot of work. When you say Irish dance, is that like “Lord of the dance” line dancing? Do you do dance recitals or do you just dance for yourself/for fun?
I bet you’re a lot of fun at school dances. You must dance circles around your friends. LOL :)
lol well….. :P
and think more like ‘’Riverdance'’ lol and I’ve done recitals competitions and group dances ;)
Sweet. I saw Riverdance in concert years ago, so I can picture that. Sounds like you are really into it. When is your next competition/recital?

falling im hear for you no matter what. im so proud that your trying to stop. if you need anything im always hear for you. i no you can do it. your a strong person.
yeah, its a big deal for me eddieee, and I dunno when the next one is, probablly next year.
thanks meg :) wanna join me? I know ur strong too
no meg… u are- really! I can’t even begin to imagine where I’d be if I was in ur position… probablly on drugs or cutting a lot worse or dead or psycho or something. to go thru all that you’ve gone thru makes u a strong person
thanks falling…but im not lol,
hey what happens when what you thought was bad before turns into worse?
so what are the steps to recovery?
yeah I know, u think its bad, but then it gets so much worse that u wonder how u ever thoght that was bad.
and I’m guessing its different for everyone, and I’m not recovered yet, I still have the root problem. I know I’m going to have relapses and fall again and again. but hopefully it will get better instead of worse, and eventually go away.
but basically I started cutting pretty deep to the point where it didn’t even close, and throughout the day it kept reminding me constantly. I got so disgusted with my cuts and scars and tired of the bad part of cutting and eventually when I went for the razor I knew I really didn’t want to do it anymore. I craved it, but I also recoiled from it.
that was liberating.
Hun thats great, yes you will fall but when you do just remember that you dont have to stand on your own two feet all the time…others can help. were hear for you.
hmm i think that thats going to help you. not wanting to like that.
uuuugghh I didn’t think it would be this hard….

Try a bit of yoga. It works for me. My theory on yoga is that when you do the exercizes you are feeling your different sensory systems. You become aware of which feelings are which. Try it.
