Happy news=I'm back home and Cornwall *and my inlaws* are far away blaugh
Ca ca news=Our cat, Mr. Whiskers, decided to shread some of the boxes that we need to pack stuff into, plus he knocked over a family size box of rice krispies all over the damn floor and I slipped on the little pieces and nearly slammed my head directly into the wall.
Oh...I have 5 loads of laundry to do *I did 5 yesterday at the laundromat*, dishes to wash/dry/pack away, and I have to go through the girls toys and pack them up too
*curses under breath* oh how I loathe packing
onlyateardropaway, no more cutting yourself! It may feel like it's helping you deal with the pain, but all it's doing is hiding your pain and scaring you for life...hiding from the pain doesn't help matters...although it may be emotionally painful for you to deal with sadness/stress/anger, you have to deal with it in a logical SAFE way. I really hope you have someone to talk to like a councellor/therapist hon, cutting yourself is more damaging than helpful neutral
TenshiDarkAngel...you have to find that middle road between being a 'hard b***h' and a sensitive lass...being too gruff and distant is just as bad as being overly emotional/sensitive...you have to find the balance between them, it will be less stressful for you in the long run 3nodding .

okay tessie...for you...i do talk to a councellor...every tuesday and thursday and at least once a mouth in private....i'm trying to get better....and tessie....i don't know how to deal with it in a logical safe way....i'm trying real hard...and i'm not as bad as i was in the beginning...you have to admit...i've come a long way since i first came to SnS...i'm trying....but its really hard...thats all...i'm sorry...
You shouldn't do it for me, you should do it for YOU. You're a good person, as well as forgiving *I haven't forgotton the past blunder on my part as well as the guild's...* and you need to realize that it is possible to strengthen yourself, mentally, emotionally and otherwise.
I used to be a cutter...I know the sensation you get when you cut...you feel in control, and that's why you do it...you need to feel something, ANYTHING...as long as it isn't emotional pain.
And you're absolutely right hon, you've come a long LONG way and I'm very proud of you, but you still have a ways to go if you're still resorting to cutting/harming yourself when crisis comes your way. Rely on your friends when you're feeling the urge to hurt yourself, reach out...asking for help is what strength is in my books, instead of pretending that you can deal with anything/everything that comes your way. None of us are invincible, we all need help along the way, and that's what friends are for.
