Messed up

[sadgirl87]

I messed up big time. I cut up my whole leg. I hate the fact that I screwed up and I hate the fact that I do this. I have no idea how I am going to tell my counselor today. I guess this is just a rant.

Ok, so you 'screwed up' but it happens and if it does it is better to focus on moving forward rather than dwelling on it. You say that you have a meeting with your councillor later so that is positive and it is good that you are getting professional support. I know it is difficult but you should definitely bring it up with them when you go.

I hope your leg isn't too sore.

It is hard to bring these things up. I usually keep to myself. I am not one to open up in counseling. People have looked at me in disgust because of the markings on my arm and leg. It makes me not want to show anyone or talk about it to anyone.

I know how you feel; I have spent years covering my arms/hiding it from people but your councillor is not 'people'. Unless you try to open up he/she can't do anything to help you.

it might be good to talk about it with your counceiller and not get the same response as most people. like you don on here but in person.
