It had been two weeks since i last cut or burned or anything because i was doing the thing when you draw a butterfly on where ever you cut or burn and you have to keep the butterfly alive but today i killed it :c
sorry- I have a bit of a morbid sense of humor. I’ve never heard of the butterfly approach- is the idea that compassion reduces angst? I guess opiates work for me.. I never really enjoyed cutting for its own sake- I liked the release it offered and it was more of a means to an end that i find is easier and less embarrassing to get to with pills.
Hey!! i have to say that i used to cut myself all the time and i never thought about any reasons why it just made me feel better I thought about it for a while and i guess i did it because i wanted to find something that was more painful than my emotional pain you that thing you feel inside your chest..
besides i guess i wanted to know if i was going to be strong enough to dare to not just scratch my skin but go deeper and well end my life one day. I have to say those moments when you cut yourself they go away eventually really …. you just have to start by loving and respecting more what you have inside *as corny as it may sound* is true, when you have that covered then just the idea of hurting yourself makes no sense.
Hey it does not matter if you cut yourself like right now is no easy at all to quit but what matters is that you keep trying and you really have to convince your self that what you are doing to your self is wrong. i would say draw another butterfly and try to keep it alive this time. 🙂 GBS
