Damn it all ><

I don't wanna cut =/ I really really don't.
But at the moment it feels like the only thing I can do.

Two guys like me and I have no idea how I feel about them. Both of them are my ex boyfriends and they are both really happy because they think we're going to get back together, so i'm torn.
Honestly, I don't want anybody right now. I just wanna be on my own, but I have a real hard time telling people this kind of thing, and it would hurt me as much as it's going to hurt them. It's not fair on them, and I will tell them when I get a chance, it's just really hard to get my head around it :(

I'm doing my final exams in high school at the moment =/ and it's really really putting alot of pressure on me with my coursework and everything, I can't handle it! Everybody is expecting alot of me and I think i'm going to do terrible :( The only thing I can do really is escape by cutting myself D: the escape won't last long, but it will make me feel better for a little while at least.

I really don't know what else to do when stuff like this happens =/ On top of ALL that I've been having really bad insecruity issues :( I just really don't know what I can do! D:

now listen to me, i used to cut, i still kinda do, but not as bad. these to boys, you've gotta tell them you dnt wanna be in a relationship right now, u got a lot of exams you need to focus n, and u cnt cope a relationship at the same time x
just cool down, have a bit of alone time so u can get your head round things, and dnt cut yourself, because evn tho u think it wil make everything better, it makes things 10 times worse xx

Just because those two guys assume that ur going to get back together with them, isnt ur problem. Its okay not to want a relationship, ur being true to ur feelings. U shouldnt feel bad about that. And hey exams are always stressful. It doesnt matter what everyone else expects of u, it matters what u expect of u. Try snapping a elastic band againest ur wrist, or holding a icecube until it melts. Maybe go for a walk in a crowded area, Eat ur fav food or watch something funny. Things have a way of working themselves out.

Cutting will only cause you more problems in the future. I understand how hard it is not to cut, but you seem pretty sure that you don't want to cut anymore so use this to help you. Remember you are not alone :)

Take things slowly, one step at a time, and be patient with yourself. This is a stressful time and it's perfectly okay to feel overwhelmed. However, it is also important to recognize that all of this stress and apprehension, although natural, is not necessary and can be detrimental if not properly managed. Revise all that you need to, and for the rest of the time, focus on trying to relax and approach the exam setting calm and alert.

Cutting will only make things worse after the initial 'rush' is over, and you know that. Don't let it take advantage of moments of inner weakness. Don't do anything that may be a cause of regret later on. Things will work itself out as they come, as someone once said to me - life will do what life does. What you can do is focus on small steps and proceed naturally, allow the situation to direct itself, but be prepared. When the time to face each trial comes, you will know instinctively what to do. It is scary, I know, but it will all be okay.

Seek the calm which resides within. It will show you the way. :hug3:
