It gave me a way to be able to do things like go to class even when I wasn't in a mental place to do so. <br /><br />Even when I thought I had gotten past it, when I hit my worst moment, I reverted without even realizing it.<br /><br />It took getting legit help to get past it.<br /><br />Love and prayers your way my dear. I know what it's like to have others look the other way, and to not know how to proceed forward. If you ever need to talk, let me know...

I agree with you that most people don't understand. Any time I am especially upset I feel the urge, and I have to push it away. Since I have learned to cope better my dark moods are few and far between, but when they do come on they are strong and it's hard for me to say no. But I do. Not because I decided that cutting is the wrong thing to do, but because I don't want to lose what I have over it. I was angry at him for asking me to choose, but I know that it's because he doesn't want to see me hurt. <br /><br />It's easier on them if they can't see it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
