I am getting a bracelet when I get to one month. I have to keep going to prove that I'm stronger than my ex thinks I am. I have to prove that I am strong and can be without him, and that he isn't still in control.
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.

I'm going to add one orange bead to my bracelet tomorrow to mark one month of being self harm free.

I am also going to take part in the bracelet thing by making myself a bracelet once I get to one month and a new one each month I think it will work well. It also helps that I have been trying for quite a while to stop and each time I make it further and I am really determined.

I have a cousin, Andrew, thats in jail. And we made a promis, i dont cut, he stays out a trouble. And my boyfriend helps me and lets me talk and tell him bout how i want to and why i should and everything im feeling when i want to. And i have another friend, he says if i cut, he'll do twice as many cuts.....so i have a lot of support
It takes more courage to suffer than to die.

A large combination of things.. Mostly talking to people who hold me to my promise I made myself to not get back into that pattern again.
Right now, I'm talking to my best friend, which helps with the urges. Recently, I've just been too busy to worry about hiding cuts, so that's motivation not to make any more of them.

My way of alternatives is I use a rubber band. It releases emotions that I'd normally release with SH. It feels good to feel the snap of the band on my wrist.
Try it

A friend and I decided that a good way to help me stop was saying that if I cut, I had to do something that I really didn't want to do, in my case, telling my aunt or uncle that I cut  And because telling them is the worst thing I can think of, and I promised that I would (which means I absolutely have to), I haven't cut. Hopefully, that will last

I'm taking calls on live help, eating chocolate and ignoring the urges.
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.
