In History and Counseling. Again the history degree will be easier than the counseling degree. It will take 2 years before I will be done. The hard part is the required hours of counseling. Even before I can start I have to go 6 months without cutting.

Today is 3 weeks without cutting. It has not been easy. I think my best ever was a month. Please pray for me that I will be able to do this and come September start my internship.
Awesome keep it up

Yes, it was full of stress and this morning I meet with my psychiatrist to tell her I want a new one. I believe she no longer has my best interest.

Just to be safe... "Trigger Warning / Sexual Trigger Warning"

This about says it all...

It just has not been a good couple of weeks. Just think finals are 2 weeks away, graduation is coming, a wedding, a trip to Europe, and me flying high and crashing low by mere words and thoughts, over and over again. By people who don't care about me or whether I live or die. It's a terrible way to live if you can call this living. I just want what others have, or seem to have, I would give anything for peace of mind but that is like a leaf floating in the wind, being blown wherever it goes and never having a say in any of it.

Maybe I am cursed. Maybe it is a gift I will never have. A longing never to be fulfilled. A desire unfulfilled. An orgasm never achieved. A cut never felt.

I am praying that morning never comes...

DAY 52...

Well done at staying away from SI despite everything going on!

What might help you be protected from, or not be so dramatically affected by, the words of others?

I have a goal... There is only one way to go to win the prize. That is my driving force. That is what get's me up in the morning and keeps me going during the day. I want not only the cap and gown and the degrees that go with it I want that little piece of paper that says I am a Psychologist. With all that I have been through that is my motivation and nothing will come between me and that prize.
