School starts tomorrow...

[Megson]

I've only cut myself ONCE all summer long. I haven't even had a reason to log onto this site. I'm on my longest clean streak since I started cutting. But tomorrow, I'm starting my junior year of high school.

Needless to say, school is my biggest trigger. It's not a question of IF I will cut. It's how long I'll last before I need it again...

Ok what exactly is it about school that triggers you?

The people? The work? Or just the general stress?

Sorry you're feeling like that. I know school can be a bitch sometimes...

I can usually deal with the people alright. Usually, it's the stress that sends me over the edge. I take a lot of honors classes and I'm aiming to get an honors diploma, but sometimes I just feel like it's an unachievable goal. What if I do all of this work just to end up failing in the end? Cutting just helps me deal with the stress, the work, the hoplessness...

I have other triggers that are school related, but that one tends to be the biggest one.

If its the stress perhaps you can talk to a member of staff about various other coping methods or ways to reduce your workload yet still achieve your goal?
