New Year.....

[outtaspace]

I have been cutting since I was 13. I stopped for a few years, and then began again. I recently stopped and proud of it. But it seems like every time life gets really difficult or unbearable, I turn to it. I have been trying not to, but only one person can get so much bad news before they snap.
I am trapped at my job because if I leave, I won't have any income, and every other place I have applied to has rejected me. I think the total count is 56 job applications. I am also trying to get my teaching certifications, but can not for the life of me pass a test. I've failed 3 in the past 6 months and have 2 more coming up. Any advice on how to deal with all the set backs. Advice on how not to cut?

I'm sorry that I don't know how to help you with the setbacks.

With the cutting though, what helps me is going on a walk (when it's warm enough >.<) or just breathing and thinking "do I really need to hurt myself? No, I don't" or journaling or texting/calling a friend and just ranting about whatever is upsetting you

Feel free to message me if you ever need to vent <3
