I kinda had an idea you were cutting, but I wasn't going to say anything.
God could not be everywhere, so
okay, good. first step done. now, learn positive coping skills. what are some you can use? meditation? art? reading? music? what else? list your plan, okay? you'll need it.
now, while we're being so honest, i'll confess too...TRIGS BELOW!!!!!!!!!!!

my dad gave me (i have no idea why...but he has NO idea about SI) this huge hunting/survival knife. GIANT. i got home, hid it for like 3 days...finally dh found it, and asked me wtf it was doing in his car...LOL, it was pretty funny...i said, well, you better take it...but for more than one reason...with my rages going on, i didn't trust myself all around. ugh.
so, you're not alone and i'm proud of you!
love and hugs,

Donna,
how old is dd? early teens? that's the "normal" age most girls start turning to SI as a coping mechanism. is she staying safe? she is welcome to talk to me at any time she feels a need to hurt herself. can i email you thru your profile here?
love and hugs,
keli
tdoc wasn't in the office. but i've got a call in to her to let her know they are there with her partner.
as for a list of coping things.......i don't know. i guess maybe music or something else that doesn't require concentration. 'cause right now, i can't concentrate much past right this second. and that focus is on getting through right this second.
i'm a bona fide mess right now and ashamed......very ashamed. thanks for listening.
and keli, i'm glad dh found the knife. girl, i know you're going through a lot right now and i want you to stay safe too. k?

At the time she was 11, she's now 12.

Traci,
I'm sorry stuff is so out of control for you now, but so very glad you took that step to be safe--whether you realize it or not, that took a lot of strength.
If it will help you to talk offline--you've got my email addy.
I'm proud of you traci...you know you can email any time. I am fairly stable right now and would be glad to listen. That goes for anyone. You can email me through my profile.
