I went to the gym for an hour and lifted heavy weights to boost the levels of dopamine in my brain. It worked too; when I left the gym, I didn't feel like cutting anymore 'cos I had sweated all the stress out!
I did the same :). Cept I ran this morning rather than carrying on cutting after last night. I felt good about myself.
Had a long talk with my fiance about what I'm feeling and what's going on right now. I think he finally understands where I'm coming from and why I react the way I do to certain situations.
"Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." - Viktor E. Frankl. I'm beginning to be able to take this and apply it, and it's helping me to fight the urges to cut more than anything else has.
~Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly~
I found a letter my "friend" ( Who told everyone about my si) put in my bag a while ago, telling me how its all my faults and if i die its only my fault
I let myself sleep for the first time in four days, i feel real again!
"They say time heals all wounds. I don't agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessons, but it is never gone." - Rose Kennedy
I've coped so far as best I can with the pretty much the worst triggering situation I could have been in for past abuse mermories (Seeing the one the places it happened again)
we are the fallen
we are the wounded
we are the shattered
we are the unheard
we are the brave
we are the strong we are Survivors. and..... we are the future
we fallen can still rise by the wings of hope that lifts us~
