Now you may have seen my previous post about a little bit of head banging, i feel awful about doing that.
But i want to talk about cutting, i cut myself from the age of 13 to 19 and havent done it now for 9 months, i have been this long before, but considering my depression has been very bad during the last nine months, its the best i have ever done. Cutting for me is about releasing tension, and for some reason it gives me a buzz and an adrenaline rush when i am very low. But for someone who hates themself like i do, the guilt, shames and regret make that mometary high completely not worth it. Headbanging is something i do when i am angry, which isnt very often, its not really a concern for me, i did it i regretted it, i'm not planning on doing it again. Where as i battle the urge to cut, and at the moment i am winning. I just want to let you know that the pride i feel for not doing this, has helped me no end, i hope this helps someone. I dont want people to hurt themselves. Even though i know its possible for you to stop, i just WISH i knew the right words to make it happen, but i know deep down that and you will too, that its only the words you say to yourself that can stop you.. I hope you find the strength! You may be surprised at how you feel for NOT doing it!

Wow, Great job Widgets and thank you for your kind words. They actually do help me to know how worth it is to continue fighting urges. It's been 4 months and I'm both often frustrated and glad at how long I can fight urges for.
Keep up the great work! |

That is so great to hear widgets. Your victory is an inspiration for so many others and gives me hope that my loved one can overcome this too.
