we all think about you too. this online community sure is a big help to me and i hope it is to you too.View Thread

from your post it doesnt sound like you are super comfortable being around your husband either . is he abusing you in any way? : (
please exercise the ways that you know help you to overcome your desire to self injure. for me, one of these ways is thinking about how long it has been since i last hurt myself. when i think of the 8 or 14 months or however long it has been that i have gone without self injuring,, i think to myself, i don't want to blow X amount of months that i went free from self injuring, if i hurt myself now, the timer resets back to zero and i don't want that. in other words i give myself credit for going to long without hurting myself. please feel free to share the coping strategies that you have.
)i am sorry to hear that you were abused during childhood. that is truly evil behavior and one day those offenders will have to answer for their heinous actions.View Thread

please keep everyone posted on how you are doing.View Thread

ooops.
thanks again for taking the time to read and respond...View Thread




the two times i have tried this dress on (2 months ago) i cried. i cried both times (in the bathroom so no one would know i was crying- it's the only place in my house where i have some degree of privacy) because the dress is EXTREMELY unflattering on me. seriously you guys, it is just awful.
please keep me in your thoughts and prayers that i do not self injure on this trip. i tried it on again about ten minutes ago to see if it was truly as awful as i remembered it from a couple months back. it is. i am 31 years old and i have never felt as HORRIBLE about myself as i do in that dress. and if any of you are wondering to yourselves, does her sister know she detests it that much? the answer to that question is a resounding YES. she just doesn't care.
the wedding is on sunday and i will be back on tuesday.
thank you . xoxoxoView Thread

i am not sure we have met yet, but i want you to know that my heart goes out to you fully and completely. i felt so bad when i read your line about not having friends. well, if "friends" are people you can connect with, if "friends" are people who can rejoice with you during good times and sympathize and empathize with you during difficult times, i think you will find many members of this community friends indeed. please continue to share your thoughts and feelings on these boards in this community.
i am sending super hugs your way tonight from southern ca.
please know that you are NOT alone. we are here for you.View Thread

please allow me to also empathize with you on the topic of saddling yourself and your family with medical bills. i understand the impact of that kind of financial pressure very, very well. i extend my full empathy to you there, honest. as if the pressure and the anxiety, ect. from hanging on and trying super hard not to self injure is not stressful and awful enough, you also have the dread of medical bills thrown onto your plate as well.
i regret there is not more we could all do for you. please at least know that you are on my heart this afternoon.
i am also not sure of the backstory here , but it sounds like there is a family member that also struggles with self injury.. hugs to you both , today.View Thread
