I didn't cut last night :D - May 2nd 2011, 11:00 AM

I didn't cut last night.

Oh, I wanted to really bad. But I didn't.

I texted my boyfriend, got him to say something to cheer me up. Then I drew a butterfly where I wanted to cut. I kept telling myself in my head not to. Don't do it, don't do it. And then I wrote down all the things that were making me angry and upset and crossed through them with red crayon. I made some words out of my full name to take my mind off it. I came up with some quite big ones, like mermaid and roman. And then I fell asleep holding the comfort cross my boyfriend got me.

This morning I woke up still feeling empty, but the urge isn't nearly as strong.

I got through the night.

Awww, this made me smile. I am so glad that you found alternatives that work for you.
Keep it up.


I was looking for a breath of life
For a little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head say, no oh oh

That's amazing I know from my own experience how hard it is to resist that urge and not cut...I'm glad that you also found other things to distract you that didn't contain to hurting yourself in other forums that also is a big thing. So great job:} Keep it up if you ever need someone to talk to just know you can talk to me.


As the smoke clears
I awaken, and untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet

LOVE=LOVE NO MATTER WHAT
