........ME! Hahaha
I have learned, in the the three weeks, that therapy will not work unless you make a choice. If you do not make that choice, you can still reach a high level of insight and awareness. However, for a change to take place I had to make a conscious decision that I was ready for it-- that I was no longer afraid to get better. I had to begin to use my mind for the strength of which it is capable.

I also have a lot of crappy %#@&#! going on at home and I decided that, no longer, am I going to allow external factors determine so much of my mood.

I am not a day-counter, but I can say that it has been over two weeks that I have self-injured. I am going to respect my body and be proud that I can experience and tolerate my intense emotions. I have worked to allow myself to feel them, so why should I take it out on my body when I do?
