Stopping

[moon_lit_angel]

Ok, so this may be my last post on VT, I don't know yet..

I really need to stop self harming and stop my ed..!! And the only way i can see that happening is admitting myself or sumting :/ although i don't really want to :(

I've got to run 10km next monday 6th June.. And my scars will be visible so im using bio oil atm.. to try get rid of them by next week :(

so i've gone 5 days without self harm...
hmm


ok guys, will ye help me??

Go Sandra go! *dons pom poms and a cheerleader outfit* You can do it!

Bio Oil usually takes up to three months to really work if the scars are bad. I've used it before. If they're pretty light already, go out in the sun with short sleeves and use the Bio Oil and it should help.

Five days is amazing. You can keep going. :D If you ever need a pep talk, I'm around!

Thanks Jo Jo :)

[Magenta]

But you won't. You made this post. You have a goal in mind and you know you're stronger than the urges. :3 :hug:

i know but if things happen again then this post was a waste of space :(

No post is a waste of space. As I learned from Kathy, you only fail if you stop trying. Ever slip up makes you stronger but managing not to slip up ALSO makes you stronger. You can do it! *dances with pom poms*

You can do this girly girl!

I believe in you, all you've got to do is believe in yourself.
Then you can achieve anything, no matter how hard it may look-
Nothing is impossible!

We're here to support you, so just come here if you do feel the urge very much.
Will do anything to keep your mind distracted off that though. :)

I don't have any experience with self-harm and such myself as I'm someone that can deal with stress.
But what I find that works for me is get lost in music or have a good cry, throw with them pillows.
Of course I understand it may be more difficult once you get the hang of self-harm I guess as it can be addicting from the topics I've read...
But these were just suggestions, never know they can work if you don't try.

*Hug*

YES JO! xD

Exactly what Jo said there, keep trying and it's all anyone can ask. 5 days is amazing and you can keep going. If you just keep your goal in mind and don't take your eye off it :)

It's great that you're trying and have got this far, don't give up! :) Bio oil can unfortunately take quite a long time but hopefully it will help the scars heal and fade quicker. Well done and keep going :D
