It's been about a year and a half since I self-injured regularly. Every day is a struggle to not slip up or even relapse... But for some reason tonight is especially hard. It would be so easy to just give in and do it, but would it be worth it? I'm so conflicted about everything going on right now, I just don't know what else to do.
I just really want to, and I'm afraid to tell anybody. I need help, but just can't ask for it...
I guess I really just needed to vent and get it out...

is there a friend/family member you can talk to about the stress in your life?? for me anyway, keeping stress bottled up or not doing things that help me when i'm depressed is what leads to SI urges getting stronger. maybe take a day for yourslef. or write down some random thoughts and maybe it will help you write out your frustrations and feelings. hope you feel better soon. i know the fighting is hard, but you are a survivor. sending hugs. ♥

I sorry you're struggling with this, but it sounds like you're doing really well. You're a strong person to be able to control your SI urges. If you need a way to get it out, I agree with what elenalovesthestars said, try to find someone to talk to or write. I write when i can't find another outlet for the pain, and for me it really helps to get my feeling out on paper. Hope it helps

Thanks guys...
I ended up taking something so I could sleep and going to bed...
I normally write too...I just could not focus long enough to get anything out. I can't talk to anybody cuz I just clam up and shut down when I try. I'm in therapy, but I don't have the money to go see her till the first of the month.
