10 months.

[FastForward2012]

I wanted to write so much more. But for now, this is the best I could do. I didn't want to make it too long, but not too short. Here goes:

It all started because of a boy, and it ended because of the same boy and another boy. Its funny how things work like that. Today is my 10 months. 10 months since I’ve inflicted pain on myself. Pain from sharp objects, pain from pills. So much pain. So many failed attempts at ending my life. But I’m here for a reason now. I’ve learned from my pain. I’ve grown mentally strong, and aware of the things surrounding me. The journey so far has been incredibly hard. I’ve been tested so many times. I won’t give up. I won’t give in. I thank the extremely few people that were always there for me. I love them so much, and I don’t know how I could ever repay them. But my best friend is always telling me “Don’t thank me. You did it all yourself.” And for once, I believe that he is right. On those nights that no one was there, I made it through the night on my own. I fought the temptation. I lived to see another day. For once in my life, I can live without people constantly being there for me. I just want you all to know that you can make it through the darkness. To be cliché, You will find the light at the end of the tunnel. Life is a never-ending struggle. We fall and find ourselves broken; we pick ourselves up and put ourselves back together.

And if any of you ever need someone to talk too, I’m always here. Always.

Thanks for sharing that Gina! I always find it great to hear when people are doing so well, it gives me some sort of hope.

Well done for going 10 months SH free, that's such an amazing achievement! I have no doubt that this will continue for you.

That's so great to read, Gina. You're such a strong person, and definitely an inspiration. =]
I hope things keep going well!

Thanks for sharing that with us, Gina. You've definitely come a long way with things and I think you should be proud of yourself for being 10 months SH free. That is such an achievement. Each minute, day, hour is something to be proud of. I can imagine it hasen't been easy to get to where you are today, though. Recovery is never a easy or simple journey. But it really does sound as though you've grown as a person. I hope things keep on looking up for you.
