I took my cat and held her in my arms, and we fell asleep like that <3.

My boyfriend is the reason that I'm overcoming self-harm. Even though he's just one person, he means the world to me and knowing that he loves me and cares about me is enough for me. Everyone else might be against me, but just having one person is enough for me because he loves me more than I thought anybody could ever love. He's so supportive and great, and he's the reason that I'm beating SH.
When you can't find your way home,
and when life gets too hard to face on your own.
I will stand as a light through the darkness unknown,

When I want to cut I listen to music and yell/vent at my friends. They apparently don't mind though. If anyone ever needs to talk, I'm here. PM me anytime

I'm barely beating it. I'm sitting on my bed, browsing the forums while listening to music.

Thanks! It was my goodbye party since I'm moving soon.
That's cool!

I didn't; but afterwards I watched the glitter fall - it took an hour or so. And I also played Mario Kart!!

Talking to people on here. Not even about SH or anything serious, but general conversations. I'm really grateful for my TH friends. Honestly, the last few days, especially nights, have been really rough and quite up-and-down, but a few of you have been there for me and have kept me safe. Thank you.

watching ted talks online and other videos. Distracting myself by looking outside the window instead of the bathroom door. Making my bed comfy. Doing random internet searches. Things of that sort.

I ran out of room and that's keeping me from doing anything else. I'm beginning to freak out because as I get older, the scars don't fade.

I'm going swimsuit shopping soon, so I can't do anything or I'll get caught. >.>
And I'm going on vacation to wear that swimsuit on a beach in a week. <.<
But it's okay because once I get back I'll have beaten my second best record ever.

First I grounded myself (listed 5 things I can see, 4 things I can hear, 3 things I can touch, 2 things I can smell, 1 thing I can taste)
Then I played games on my phone until the urges went away.
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
