Well, I have made it this far. Sorry I haven't been here for a couple of days, but I've been really busy with work and all the rest.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my latest post. It was so nice to get all that support when I felt so out of control. Barb, thanks for the links, I found them very helpful and even recommended one to my self harming dtr. Speaking of her, she has been a little better the last few days. She and I had a heart-to-heart about self harming and she shared a lot of things that have been bothering her. I feel like there is hope for the first time in weeks.

I am doing a little better, myself. The thoughts of cutting are still there, but I am finding alternate things to do. I am trying to take each day as it comes, and not put too much pressure on myself.

I had a great day today. My clients proved to me what a difference I make in their lives, and it made me feel so great.

anyway, I thought you might be interested to know.

Sara,

I am glad that your clients showed you what a difference you do make in everyones lives I think that is awesome..

I am also glad to hear that you and your daughter were able to have a heart to heart and that she was able to open up to you and that you were able to share things with her I am sure that made a huge difference to her knowing that she isnt alone in all of this and that you can relate to where she is comming from I wish you all the best with this situation and I hope that she gets the help she deserves.

I am also so happy that you have not acted on your feelings for self harm and that you have been distracting yourself, I know how hard it is sometimes when you have so much inside of you and no release but you are doing an awesome job by taking care of yourself.

I was so glad that you posted again and kept us updated on how things were for you and I only hope that things get better from now on.

Erin
