Being happy occasionally is starting to be a part of my life. It’s hard to think last month I ended up in hospital after trying to kill myself. I overdosed on Paracetamol. It was incredibly painful and didn’t work. My little brother saw me in hospital. I wonder how he feels. I didn’t want him to be there. My dad brought him down. My mother and father are splitting up. I worry about my brother a lot. I broke up with my boyfriend who I had almost been dating a year. Now I’m scared to have another one again. I have some amazing friends and one really helps me to smile and be happy. I’d like to go out with him. But I dunno when I’ll be able to. While a spend a lot of time happy nowadays I cant help but think it wont last long, honestly it never does. I hurt alot of people by trying to kill myself and worried many people over nothing. I kinda wish I had have succeeded. Damien, the voice in my head has gone away. He’s not around lately. I fell back into cutting. It’s so good to have that relief again. It hurts in a good way that I know is bad. But when so much has happened lately I think I deserve to give myself a break on trying to fix myself and just chill for a bit. It’s so much work with little reward. I wonder if I’ll last. Sometimes, a lot of the time I doubt it.

I agree you should take it slow and not be too hard on yourself if you still need to use some “unhealthy” coping mechanisms right now. Being on here and writing about your feelings and reaching out to other people going through similar struggles is a healthy coping mechanism though, I think, so good for you for that.
It’s a good thing that you have some happiness back, and I hope you are able to hang on to that. Although realistically you will probably have bad days and bad times again. And it is hard on bad days to keep believing that the good days are worth it. I don’t know if this comment is at all helpful but I just wanted to reply to your post because I have also felt that. I hope things continue to get better for you and that your brother is okay. Maybe you can try talking to him, when you feel stronger?
