tomorrow will have been 3 weeks. this is the longest i’ve gone since i started self injuring in November of ’09. i usually break after 2 weeks/ how can i stay strong? i know how bad my self injury hurts other people but i don’t know how to stay strong. help me please…
Every time you’re about to hurt yourself, think of the people who love you. Stare at wherever you want to hurt yourself and pretend that it belongs to someone you love. Then call that person or talk to them in person and thank them for loving you and talk about something unrelated to take your mind off it. 🙂 I read this somewhere and it has really helped me and continues to help me.
3 weeks is an incredible feat of strength, be proud!
Staystrong
Thank you. I’m having an urge right now and it is really helping. And I an VERY proud!
