i've tried to fight this feeling all week. i'm done with it. i cut and i feel better. i'm not feeling guilty about it because i feel better. i just hate the way one of our cats sat there and stared at me. the other's been spending all her time sitting on me lately, and i wonder if she's trying to help. it has kept me sitting and away from anything dangerous until now (i appreciate her love, but it's not enough).
feeling like i do now makes it harder to fight next time because i tried, and i tried to do anything else but the feeling stayed and now it's gone because i am bleeding it away. i'm already healing. i'm ready to move on with this week. why do i always bother to fight it for so long? i feel like it only makes me suffer longer. |

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

Michelle,
Maybe you should read that quote over and over again, until it gets stuck in your brain.  I'm sorry I'm not as much use as the use of which you could use..Heh..yeah, that made perfect sense.  You're welcome for the support, 'though I don't think I was all that supportive. I am having urges myself, mild perhaps, but urges none-the-less. I won't do anything (hopefully!) because, it's pointless, and I'm choosing to remember my own damn advice, for once. I hope you do fight, Michelle. Regards, Akuma

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
