My best friend and rock was asleep, but I’m not giving up. Some really great people reached out and messaged me, which encouraged me. I’m keeping my record- it’s still been over two and a half months since I last cut.

I wrote a long, self-affirming message on my white board. I grabbed the tissues, a small snack, and some vitamin water to keep by my bed, and then put a “relaxation” blend in my oil diffuser. Now to just put on some Game Grumps episodes and lay down for sleep.

Despite still being in a low place, it brings me up just a bit to know that I was able to stand up to those self-damaging urges that started when my PTSD developed. It’s so hard- it’s the fight of my life and I couldn’t do it without you guys and all the people who support me and lift me up. I’m so blessed for every kind word and every act of support given to me.
