Okay, So... - January 6th 2009, 06:15 AM

While TH was down, I did some thinking. I've decided I really don't need to cut anymore to cope with my problems because there really are better ways to cope with how I feel.

That said, I've been SH free for....

1 month, 5 days.


Good for me?

Very good for you Tay!
You have come a very long way compared to the person I first met. You've changed for the better too

Congratulations on your one month and five days. Very cool.

Good for you is an understatement Taylor! It really is great to hear you say those things and I wish you all the best with finding and using new coping mechanisms! Really proud of you girl for what you said and for being SH free for such a long time - great stuff

Yes, very very good for you! And also very good that you recognise that. Its a positive thing that you made a definate decision to stop cutting, and that you realise there are other ways to cope and to deal with things. I hope now TeenHelp is back up and running that you can find even more support and help here whenever you need a friend or a moan and you can carry on not self harming. Well done to you, you should be very proud of yourself.

If you ever need me, just send me a PM. Congratulations again x

Fantastic for you! Even better than fantastic! You should be proud of yourself. :] Keep it up, I know you can do it.



And you know that, mother, I'd be lying, if I didn't tell you I'm afraid of dying.
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind

Positive attitudes like that are going to get you a long way, it's so brilliant you've made this decision in your life, I bet you feel a great sense of achievement around this and so you should! Over a month self harm free is definitely something to be so happy about, we all know its not an easy thing to do, so well done you! Remember we are all behind you supporting you 100%, keep this going and keep us updated, yea? Take care <3

2nd Thoughts:
I don't think I can make it that long =x
I'm beginning to think I was/am dependent on SH to survive
I'm loosing faith in myself over this
I think I traded SH for not eating,purging, so on... =\

First of all, yes, VERY good for you. VERY, VERY good for you. You're so strong for that and you can keep going so much further. Don't think you can't do this because you need that positive attitude. Keep reading all these posts and try to keep motivated ok? You CAN do this. I don't doubt this one bit. SH, it is something to steer you away from other things. But, you don't need it either way. If you want to talk about this at all, I'm here for you always. Take care <3

~Stay strong and have faith~
