Triggering (SI) - i slipped up again
i'm so annoyed with myself for giving in again. It's been 5 weeks since i've cut and i've just gone and chucked it all away; it's pathetic.
I was doing so well, new job, new start.
But it all got too much. i can't afford to pay the bills, i'm getting grief from my landlord, i fell out with a friend and i'm being asked to do more and more at work.
I was getting so stressed that something had to give. I almost took some random pills i found at work but fought off the urge. But then in the last 3 days i've cut 5 times, so yeah feeling pretty crap right now.

slipping up is part of recovering. everyone slips up. I thought i was done with cutting and completely better and then one day i slipped up and got really down because of all the stress i was going through. think about the five weeks you didn't cut. if you can make it that long you can make it even longer if you try. everytime you try to stop, the stopping time is longer. at least it was for me. just don't give up. things will work themselves out. I don't think your pathetic. if you need to pm me anytime and i'll answer as soon as i can. :)

I know it seems like things won't get better, but they do. Eventually. It doesn't happen quickly and it takes some time, but in the end they get better. You'll see. And I know this probably isn't what you want to hear, but at least for me it's the truth.

I'm really sorry thing are stressful, and that you slipped up. However, you are most definitely NOT pathetic, please don't be so hard on yourself. Is everyone who slips up "pathetic"? I think not!
Don't give up. You have the strength in you to recover. Meanwhile, I hope you manage to sort the other issues out - hopefully the less stressed and less difficult things are, you won't feel the need to SI as much.
