Day 15.

Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

So far I have gone 15 days without cutting. Me attempting to recover has sent me further into my depression, in the last 15 days I have been more suicidal then I have been in three years. I really do want to recover but I had no idea that I would feel like this, I thought recovering would make me feel so much better. But I can't cut. If I cut my brother will.. and if I cut to where no one can see I will feel like a liar, I would have betrayed him. I have no idea what I should do. When I was cutting I could go a month or more without cutting, but now its different, I can't cut now. I want to so bad, I don't enjoy feeling this way. The only thing that helped me through the past almost four years of my life was cutting, now it's gone. I want it back...

Thank you.

Thank you everyone for helping me. I really needed to hear that others think I can do this. I hope you guys are doing better, and if you ever need someone to talk to I'm all ears.

The shepard of the damned.

Try not thinking of it as

Try not thinking of it as trying to stop, because that made me crazy just how it is for you. Now I think of it as "I will only cut when I absolutely positively need to" and when I think that I really need to cut, I keep telling myself that it's not that bad and I don't absolutely need to. This might not work for you, but it's helped me. And of course I slipped up a few times and still do get depressed, but not as much as when I was "trying to stop". But everybody slips up a few times...

Have you tried:-

snapping a rubber band,
drawing with red pen,
screaming into a pillow,
listening to music,
writing a poem,
taking a walk,
eating ice cream,
jumping up and down,
looking in a mirror and smiling.

Good Luck

I bid you congradulations, you have gone longer than I can. You seem to be strong enough that you can beat this if you try. I wish I had your strength.
