Michelle,

I've tried to fight this feeling all week, too; assuming you're refering to the SI urges and that which drives us to do it.

Yes, but it doesn't make you feel better, not really, not in the long run. You're here because you want help, so obviously you know you shouldn't be doing it; it's wrong, it shouldn't be happening, and we both know this.

Animals have a wonderful ability to be empathic, or so it seems. Be thankful that you have such animals.

If it's any consolation, I'm not trying to stop for me, I'm trying to stop for the people that give a ---- about me. perhaps you could consider the people that your self injuring affects.

Just to remind you of the obvious: Injuring yourself accomplishes nothing, realistically or logically. There is no genuine gain, or advantage to mutilating your body in any way or form. Fight it, Michelle.

Perhaps you fighting will help other people fight.. people like myself.

Regards,
Akuma
