Re: How are you beating Self Harm? - April 14th 2012, 05:03 PM

I have urges right now but I'm holding out because I'm going to a friend's house and they would be disappointed if I cut. I'm also almost at a month and don't want to break before I hit that mark.

I just wanted to say that you're all doing so well. Even if you try something and it doesn't work, don't lose hope. And remember there are always people who care.

As for me, once again I've turned to writing.

I use art, music, and lately, whenever I feel upset, I make paper origami lucky stars until I'm not upset anymore. I have 42 so far And if I get up to a thousand, I'm going to wish on them, just like the story. Working towards that one wish, even if it may not really work, makes it all worth it to me.

The urge to cut was pretty bad yessterday . . . but I promised my friends I wouldn't . . . and also, when I do, they make me tell them why. I don't like doing that. So I fought it.
