Self soothed with a bath and going to watch a film. Also talking to a friend

I've been talking to people about my feelings.

Spending nights at my partner's.
Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do, then I should warn you - you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: The trip of a lifetime!
Don't trust a perfect person and don't trust a song that's flawless.
RIP Granddad Terry. I'll miss you.

My teacher today was talking about glass and he kept mentioning it going up your arm and cutting it and me and one of my friends, because we used to/still do cut we kept getting really bad images in our heads. It was really triggering to be honest but instead of doing it I went and climbed up on someone's roof and helped cut all the plants that grew up there down. That helped a lot to relieve all the stress and what not.

I opened up to a cousin when he told me about his problems. I thought he'd understand and he did. He's been really supportive and I just call/text him when the urges are too intense.

I'm not beating it very well right now but I'm trying - mostly through meditation, prayer, and bubble baths
it's just a spark, but it's enough to keep me going. and when it's dark out, no one's around, it keeps glowing.
the truth hurts but it hasn't stung enough to stop me.
see, you're just wasted and thinking 'bout the past again, darling, you'll be okay.
You are altogether beautiful, my darling, beautiful in every way. - song of songs 4:7

Last night I realized I was really sad that I was alone. Normally when I'm alone is when things fall apart. I messaged that to my husband, and the text woke him up. (He's currently on a business trip out of state.) He woke up, and stayed up skyping with me just to make me feel better.
