new descions and many contemplations
well i decided to switch my program of study today from a human services certificate to general studies which will give me everything i need for an associates in arts and science so i did it...i do have the option to switch to liberal arts instead but then i will have to take a foign language and not so sure i will be able to do that so right now i have it as it is...which liberal arts degree is still an associates in arts and science so i really am contemplating doing it...i also have made a hard choice to not kill myself come this friday no matter how much pain i feel or how bad i want to escape the feelings and thoughts i am having and will have...i have settled with the fact that if i need to cut myself to get through it i will but i will not go through with my suicide plan at this time...i am going to just have to feel the pain and hopelessness and sit with the suffering and hope maybe things will get better for me...i can honestly say that in this moment i feel a bit releived not to have that hanging over me and feeling i have to get all this stuff said or written before then so that not to leave anyone feeling at fault guilty or angry...so i have lessoned the burdeon on myself at this time although i still am hurting i am thinking a bit more rational in this moment...i also can say with honesty that knowing i am about to complete my first college class even though i still have many to go before i get any type of degree i at least have stuck with it and not quit the many times i wanted to quit...i havent given up and i feel a bit more competant that i can get through the next class although i am very anxious about it and want to just hurry up and get all the classes i need for a degree done...although things just dont happen over night...my confidence in myself is a smidge more but it changes day to day...i am not saying that i will never kill myself just i have post poned it for the time being and know that suicide will always be a choice i can make when and if i make it...i dont have to make a rash descision since it is a final decision...it will always be up to me when and if i decide to go through with it...right now i know if things get to rough for me to deal with come friday i have my best friend who has been with me through everything and never turned its back on me to get me through these painful feelings and obsessive thoughts and i will use my razor to relieve the pain that gets too much but i will not and am not going to kill myself...it would be really wrong of me to do it while everyone invovled with my treatment are away...i dont want them to feel at fault for not being around for me that day or to feel guilty or ashamed and it mess their lives up and jobs...all these people have been an important part of my life and it would not be right for me to do that to them...i am somewhat angry that none of them will be there for me when i need them but they are always there for me and i can not minimize the fact that they truly do care and it is not there faults that any of this has fallen on this time of year where they have classes graduations to attend out of state vacations planned or conferences they have need to attend to better themselves to provide better care for people like me so i can not be selfish and do this at a time when they are off doing important things although i am scared to not have their support i can get through this and not kill myself even if i do self harm i can be alright i can cope
Some of these posts speak of my abuse. Some speak of the loss of my children and the grief and despair I faced through that. Much of it talks about my battle I fight with mental illness. The suicidal thoughts and attempts. The self harm.

feeling a bit not myself past few days
well friday i thought was going to be an awful day and i was going to do nothing except cry but i didnt instead i spent the day keeping busy with a friend that has been very helpful supportive and understanding...i actually can remeber a time before this when i had a friend quite like her...she is kind caring understanding supportive non judmental and is all this even knowing about my self injury and parts of my life that not many people know some of it not even my therapist and especially my familly not knowing...she has been grerat these past weeks when i have felt the end was so near she has been here for me almost like she is an angel sent from god himself...i know that even though she does not express her disappointment with me when i mess up she tries to overlook my faults and not judge them....she is like no person i have ever met and i appreciate what she has done for me and how she has been here for me...my life was coming to an end when we met and now i have put ending my life on hold and maybe someday i wont even feel like it is an option...even though i wanted to cut a few times over these past few days she helped me stay busy and refocus mind so that i didnt do it but i still am having the urges to but dont want to hurt her or bother her by hurting myself so i am trying real hard just to contain my emotions and control my urges and compulsions and fight my obsessions...but it is differcult....the 1 year aniversary of losing my parental rights to my children just past on friday and my 13 year old and my mother will be coming this friday and my mother is going back to massachusettes on monday june 30th...i also got asked to go to dinner come this thursday by a man i dont really know i have seen him around at na/aa meetings and i am nervous and scared but yet also not sure what else i feel because he is in his mid to late forties and i have trauma issues with men from my child hood who were in there 40s at the time that they traumatized me and stole my life which i may never get back i have been damaged forever and am trying hard to get my life to where i want it to be but am not sure i might never even get a life that i want and deserve because of all they did to me and all they made me feel and all that still weighs on me day in day out

trying to stay hopeful but feel hopeless
well i am trying to stay hopeful about a place i am going to look at this weekend on saturday...it is in the country sorta well really is but not like in the boonies miles and miles away from society and a friend of mine lives not too far away from it so i am really hoping to get it but on the other hand nothing in my life ever works out the way i hope it will and i am never lucky enough to get anything i want in life so i feel kinda hopeless about it...i feel it will be a very positive change in my life and i may be able to begin to live rather than just continuing to get by... i want to be able to get this place and set it up as my own and have a place where i feel safe secure and comfortable...i want to begin to get some peace and serenity in my life and i believe this is my opportunity to begin working on all this but i feel like nothing ever works out for me like i am destined to always be miserable and never have anything i want or hope for...i pray god have his will and if his will is for me to have this place then he will provide that will...i ask him for help in showing me the way to a better more productive positive and hopeful life...i ask him to change my ways of viewing my experiences and the tribulations i have gone through and am still fighting to get through...lord i ask you to show me the way...i pray that he see my pain and help me find some light rather than always seeing dark and feeling hopeless...i thank god for allowing me to still have one child i can see in my life and not taking them all from me...i thank him for proving me with some shelter over my head where i can sleep at night and not be afraid of being hurt by another person in the community while i am asleep...i thank him for providing me with food to continue to live because some people in the world have not had food for days...i thank him for putting people in my life that understand and have hope for me even when i dont and i thank him for the people he has allowed in my life that need help even though i am not strong enough myself to provide them with the help they need but in due time i maybe strong enough with gods help to help them...amen.....this my prayer and i know i may not be good at praying all the time of in the prescence of others but i do prayer and need to start believing and prayer more...i hope everone has a blessed day and that they are able to be provided for in there time of need.

A Cutters Mind
A Cutters Mind

The pain lifts my feet off the ground
Suddenly there’s blood all around
Why can’t I be a normal kid
Why must I always flip my lid
I hate this fucking life
My pain always ends with a knife
Struggling to get through the day
Fake it like it’s all okay
With a quick slit on my wrist it all goes away
Don’t try and tell me I’m not insane
Don’t tell me I don’t know pain
Cuttings all I’ve ever known
No where’s safe not even home
I’ll slit my wrists tonight
Watch myself bleed out alright
I don’t wanna be here
I can’t even cry not a single tear
Bleed out the voice inside said
It wont be happy till I’m dead
I promised I’d stay clean
So I’ll make sure the cuts are unseen
I’ll wear a jacket and hide the scar
I’ll fulfill my dream and get hit by a car
What if there is a hell I ask myself
So I leave the pills on the shelf
But I go for my razors instead
Cut myself till I’m dead
All my clothes are stained with red
Blood stains on my bed
Fall deeper into the darkness
Slit my wrist while the razors at its sharpest
The blackness consumes me
It ultimately dooms me
This pain is getting old
I can’t wait till I’m dead and cold
How does everyone else survive
The pain is how I know I’m alive
One day I’m gonna slip and go to deep
Then I’ll be forever asleep
Hang the noose around a limb
A sad girl so lost and grim
Gag on the pills as they go down
A sad girl screams without a sound
No one cares no one can understand
No one even offers a helping hand
She tells everyone she wants to die
No one notices her cry
Slowly she brings the gun to her head
Pulls the trigger now she’s dead
