My Care co-ordinator said to me today i'm setting myself to high goals.I'm setting myself up for failure and i'm putting too much pressure on myself.
I'm being moved into a Mental Health Nursing Home soon and ive told them how well im doing.And i want to keep going and keep doing well.But My Care Co-ordinator tells me im being moved there for a reason because im unwell and my risk is so high.If i do slip up i've not failed and noone will be disappointed in me.I'm doing really good and this is my longest time cut free.She also said if cutting a little bit will stop me from doing something more serrious in a way that would be better.I tend to hold everything in then i crash and do something serrious/life threatening.

Its just i will be disappointed in me if i do it.I want to be perfect.
But i already feel like ive failed because im thinking of it.

I just want to feel better
Hey hunni,

Well doneonth 29 days. How are you feeling today? I know you want to be perfect, thats a really hard thing to let go off and know that none of us can be perfect. I know because I live it everyday and you know I do lol. If you cut you haven't failed hun, but I totally understand that way of thinking too.

Thanks for this!
