Ice Cube Method Over Rubber Band Method?
Posted: 12-27-07 01:17am

Which one would be better?

Eh, a lot of stuff happened tonight. =/

We were having an after-christmas birthday party for a family member, and everything went downhill from there. NO ONE except for a few close friends knows about my boyfriend, and my little brother almost ruined it.

Whole long night;
Boyfriend problems/fight/make up.
Little brother told my mother I was gay.
Mom didn't like it.
<Insert big fight here>
She won't remember it anyway.

I was really upset, I still am, but it's not as bad as a few hours ago. It was just so horrible, the things she said. I couldn't really /blame/ her, cause she was drunk, and I think she may be homophobic, and thats really big news especially when it your youngest child.

So, I haven't cut for about 6-7 months until tonight. I just king of blacked out, and next thing I know, badaboom.

So yeah, I really don't want a(nother?) relapse. Which would be easier; least noticable, etc?

Wow...well, you aren't alone. Actually, you might be better off than I am. I haven't even told my homophobic parents about my orientation issues, and I don't know if I will ever have the courage to do that. While, I don't want to pretend to know what you are going through, and all I can say is to just have strength. Know that your mom's life isn't your life. You are in charge of your own destiny. At least, that is what gets me through each day. When I find myself in that type of situation, and when I think that all hope is lost, I try and remember that no one can manipulate who I am. I'm special, I have dreams, I have a future, and I shouldn't let anything or anyone impede with that. Life can be really, really, crappy, but it's up to you to do something about it. Don't use these moments to bring you down, but instead, use them to make stronger. You said that you haven't cut yourself for like 6-7 months! That's such an amazing accomplishment!! Just keep setting goals for yourself; try to last longer and fight harder ( I have to do that). Tell yourself that you will get through this, and who knows? Maybe someone will look to you for inspiration.

Anytime!! Like I said, we have had those "can it get any worse?" kind of days, and I really hope things turn out well for you. I have a feeling that they will ^_^

To hope, strength, and courage
