Self-harm can be a way of coping with problems. It may help you express feelings you can’t put into words, distract you from your life, or release emotional pain. Afterwards, you probably feel better—at least for a little while. But then the painful feelings return, and you feel the urge to hurt yourself again. If you want to stop cutting or self-harming but don’t know how, remember this: you deserve to feel better, and you can get there without hurting yourself.

I've been hanging in there for this weekend because there's a 2 day training for mental health first aid. I'm there now and it will be 8 hours today abd 8 hours tomorrow so that's keeping me safe without a tool but also it is nurturing my spirit to be in this training because I'm passionate about doing mental health work

I have two courses to do. So I'm going to clear up the tabs on my phone and watch the course videos on that.

I signed up to volunteer for this program that I joined in tye past. It involves welcoming a kindergarten or 1st grade class and then pairing up with one and reading tofether. Thrn thry get a free book and a pair of pajamas at the end! It is a really cute pajamas party and great way to foster love for reading. It warms my heart just saying it <3 if I can do it more often I would but the seats fill up SO fast. Everything is taken this whole month and all through mid June which is when the program ends.

Trying to hold on for things. I got a summer job thst I really really wanted etc

I have an interesting introductory workshop coming up soon for May 18th as well.
