Friday will be my one year mark. We (me, parents, sister) are going to celebrate with brownies - my sister is baking.

I recently brought my mother into my confidence about what happens when I self harm and stuff (before she only superficially knew it happened sometimes, but not the why and what a struggle it was and still is and can be) and she's been really supportive about it. So now we can commemmorate it.

I can't remember how long it's been, but I'm fighting the urges today. I did something really stupid and feel the need to punish myself over it. Trying to at least make it to my therapy appointment tomorrow so I can talk to T about the urges.

So, turns out I had my facts wrong, and stupid thing wasn't as stupid as I thought it was. Still didn't SH, but I don't like the reasons I can cite for not doing it. Not sure they're really useful for the future.

I feel proud of myself for making it through everything on Monday without SH'ing. I didn't like the reasons I had for not doing it at first, but after talking to T yesterday I feel better, and she validated my reasons. I think I've made it through this time.

I wonder if the shame over not getting my work done is more about the specific ways I waste my time rather than the fact that the work is not done.

Trichotillomania is a shameful waste of time. "Oh sorry professor I was up till dawn pulling my hair out "

If I did not self harm, I wonder how I would pass the time, and if it would be equally as wasteful.

Omg breadfish... I am sending you and your family comforting and caring thoughts.

Even still, congrats on the milestone, I'm sure she was proud. You are a strong person, and you can do this. You can make it.

When my granny died, I was devastated. I had been drinking, on a relapse, and found out in the morning before pouring a drink. I knew if I drank that day, it would not end well. I also knew she would not want that.

Still abstaining, though I couldn't tell you how long it's been. I'm having thoughts though, mostly of picking. I tripped and fell on cement stairs last week and have scabs all over my knuckles. I want to pick at them, but I'm trying to focus on the reasons why I shouldn't.

Over 5 months now, had some very strong urges today but I resisted. Sending hugs to anyone struggling.
