Urgent- Please reply....

[MemoriesLost]

I haven't cut or burned at all for several months now. I have been laughing, smiling, and all together looking at life in a brighter way. Until recently. I have been struggling with my first move since I was a baby and the stress is just piling up onto me. My parents, too. They have been fighting more and just yelling for no reason. I have been getting.... Urges. Very strong urges. I managed to ignore them or hold them back most of the time because I know my mother searches my body every day.... I don't want her to know I still have this problem. I almost burned today. Almost. I'm afraid. I worked so hard- harder than I ever have worked- to reach the place I am in now. I don't want to go back into self harm, but I'm afraid that's where I'm headed once again. I never get more than one or two replies on my threads, but PLEASE give me some random inspirational quote, advice, help, ANYTHING that you think may help me. It will mean the world and I pray it will help me. Thank you.

You pretty much just gave yourself your own inspirational quote. Here.

Doesn't that sound like you already have an answer? Don't do it. You are a very strong, independent woman. You can do anything you want to as long as you want to do it bad enough. Cutting will only bring you down again, and then you'll have to struggle to work yourself back up. There is no reason to put yourself through such torment for a second time. Make your mother proud and don't do it. Make yourself proud and don't do it. Do you know how great you will feel when you realize, "Hey, I didn't hurt myself!" and you can say it with pride?

Don't let this take control of your life. You can do this. Everyone here believes you can, as well as your mother. This move will get better, and your parents won't always fight.

Be strong.

You should take pride in who you are. You've got people who care about you and you should never let anyone or anything bring you down. Just understand your parents sound like they're in a hard place also. Just try and understand and make your sister feel loved, she wouldn't be so concerned for your safety if she didn't love you.

You are STRONG. Don't harm yourself again, try to think of all the reasons why you dont want to. Think of your friends and family. Think about the scars that will be left.

You are an amazing person, stopping self harm is incredibley difficult, but you know what? YOU DID IT!!! hang on to that :)

Good luck!

You are strong. Don't do it. Resist. Think about your friend in your avatar. they want you healthy. Here's a quote that I love. Think of it deeply:

"What you do with your self now will determine what happens to your self in the future. Do everything right in life now, and you won't go left in the future."

Thank you... Thank you so very very much. I have made it to three months with no cutting now. That friend is Alex ^~^ She actually has helped me so much in this fight and thinking of her and what she may feel if she knew I cut once again always manages to calm me. Your words mean the world. I promise- I will never forget that quote.
