I care about you. I know it is hard sometimes. We all slip up sometimes. That doesn't make us bad people. It doesn't make us awful. It just means we are human. My T told me something last week that I have found really useful. She said that I should take everything one day at a time. I don't have to think about being perfect forever. That seems so overwhelming. I just need to think about a short period of time. And even if I do slip up, that doesn't mean I'm a failure. It means that I slipped up and I need to get on the horse again. She said that she wont hate me if I cut. She will be worried that I am in so much pain that I felt I needed to cut to deal with it. But she wont hate me. I'm sure that your T and your husband are the same way. It is really hard to accept that she wouldn't hate me if I slip up. That slipping up wouldn't mean that I was deserving of her hate and scorn.

You are not deserving of anyone's hate and scorn. You are deserving of only love. I care about you and want you to be safe. But I will not be angry with you if you slip up. Try to be compassionate with yourself. And I will try to be compassionate with myself.

my T has no idea that i still SI she has seen my scars and has commented on how i use to SI i never corrected her .i just dont cut my arms.noone ever sees.if they do they ignore it.i would be terrified to tell my T that i still SI.i think she would stop seeing me because i have been seeing her for a year and i have said nothing.i'm not ready to stop and i dont want her knowing.part of it is because i dont do it often and i'm scared to tell.i could never see myself telling her.and the longer it goes without being spoken the harder it is and the more unimportant it seems.
