It's been 4 days since I've cut. In 15 minutes it will be 5 days. 5 days is my record. I'm going for 6 this time. The past 4 days have literally felt like a year. I sit in my room for hours just staring at the bag I keep my blade in. It seems like every love song I've heard could be about me and my blade. I have a feeling that tonight is going to be the night I break it. It seems like 2 more days is just too long.

Then stop listening to those damned love songs and listen to something cheery!

Honestly, you'll never make it threw the night if you allow yourself to sit there and sulking. That's just a Wagon Fall waiting to happen, and you know it! Stop staring at the bag, stop listening to love songs, and start doing something a little more time-occupying.

I'm sure it's not that simple for you, believe me, I've been there a couple hundred times, but you have to pull threw it. If you're serious about not cutting then you have to be serious about distracting yourself.

You can do it, you're strong willed, and you have what it takes to keep going. So prove your urges wrong, slap them away, and go distract yourself.

I don't listen to love songs on purpose. They come on the radio and my mother won't let me change the station.

Lexi is so right, don't listen to those songs! If you can't avoid hearing them, ignore them. Block it out, start a conversation. Distract yourself.
Can you not move that bag out of your sight? Not seeing it will make it ten times easier to resist, you could even throw it out? Come on get to your 6 days, then a week.. You can do it and you will, stay strong.

Walk away from the radio. Simple. As. That.

Move away from things that remind you. Don't listen to triggering music. Don't look at triggering images. Remember good things. Things that you happy. People. You don't need this.
