I admit I am (sometimes) weak.
I admit I've been thinking about SI again.
I admit that I'm scared that I'll relapse.

I guess I apologize. I want to be able to be supportive of people, but I let triggers get the better of me. I know, self-care first (as I've said to others), but I still feel badly for not being here.

August 20th marks 1.5 years of being free from self-injury.

Some days the urge isn't there. Some days it is.

Some days I feel so weak like I'm about to give in...

But I don't, and I'm not sure why.

I guess I want to mess up to prove once again that I'm a "screw up" who can't do anything that she sets her mind to.

But I won't. I'm scared of not being a "screw up". Weird. But I'm not. Nobody is, because this is a hard thing to beat.

Thanks for reading my rambling.

I think you know why you dont give into it. I think its because deep down you know that you are better than that and you do have the strength to fight the urge, so you dont give into it.

I think once self injurers get addicted, even if they SI free for time, even years, they still have the urges and they will still think about it. I think its because once you feel it, and experience why we think it helps us in desperate times, we can never forget.

No, we can never forget, but we can ALWAYS fight it

take care hun, babyg xXx
