Struggling


Eagleheart

Recommended Posts

I was on such a manic high for a couple of days.I felt deliriously happy & totally invincible.

Today,it has all crashed down around me. Thick black despair.

I've been SHing since i got up this morning.Had a lucky break when hubby decided to go out earlier.

Free rein to take out my rage on myself.

I am so exhausted.Every small movement is agony.

Why can't it last? That amazing high? Why not?

Eagle heart, I don't have the words right now but I do hope you are safe. Keep posting and be kind to yourself if you can.

I know what you mean about the highs. Mine seem to have gone haywire just now from one extreme to the other whenever they feel like it.

I hope you are ok xx

Thanks (((distracted))). It means a lot that you replied despite how YOU are feeling. Yes,it is so utterly draining when moods fly around wildly. I hope that you & i can get some rest.xxx

I do hope you can get some rest eagleheart. Are you feeling any better? Is there anything you could do to take your mind off things (reading/writing etc) x

Hubby just came home,so no more SH. I will just watch telly for the evening & maybe harm myself in bed later. He doesnt come to bed until 5 or 6 in the morning. I'll probably pop some vallies when i go to bed so i can hopefully get some kip. What a life! No life really-more like existing.:(

Thanks hun.

Today,i can barely walk.My entire body feels beaten up.I feel pathetic & useless & stupid.Infact,i feel so lousy it makes me want to SH,to punish myself for being such a failure.Fuck it all.

MY LIFE IS A TOTAL MESS.

hey Eagleheart

i've mentioned this in another thread

so please forgive if you've read before

only it helped in a way that nothing else did

when i was on 15minute watch on a locked ward

i was desperate to do x y and z to self

but knew i had to survive (against the storm within)

a pastor challenged me about s/i and stuff

she asked what would be harder, a greater punishment... doing the stuff to self or not?

well duh!! not doing stuff to self would be much harder. agony (very real)

she said well you know what to do then!!

it was freaking hard

so freaking hard

but i got through

i hope this is useful to you

goodness knows i know that place. like a second freaking home!!

and wish you well through your self storm. safe passage

Mousie & Maddy,

I really appreciate your care & concern.It is a comfort to me.I feel very disregarded by hubby atm.He has distanced himself from me & gives me no comfort,even if i make my needs obvious.I suppose it was bound to happen.I am well aware that i am "really hard work to deal with".It's just a shame that his care is withdrawn at a time when i desperately need to feel wanted,loved & important.I am no longer at the top of his list of priorities.To be honest,i am number 4,if i'm lucky.

And so,the punishment goes on.Used the hammer yesterday & think maybe i overdid it......................

The need to keep punishing is intense.I will try to put what you passed on Mousie.Yes,it would be hell to have to resist the SH urge...........................................xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

i know what you mean about punnishing your self because i do it too

i hacked off a load off my dreads because i hate my self and only want the ugly person to come out as well as being inside me if that makes sence...

ok

so you're on a mission

just over the next 24 hours

this is a stealth mission

the mission is to stay safe

it will take courage and self discipline

but it has an end time

this mission involves a focus on fun

i'm not kidding

objective, to have fun at least once every waking hour

silly, creative or profound, but fun

and any reader of this wanting to take on this mission is welcome to do so

Oh Maddy,how sad that you felt so bad that you attacked yourself in that way. Please try not to do it again. My hair is the one thing i 100% like about myself. In some strange way,it is also a shield. I cant really explain that.

Anyway,thanks for sharing with me. Look after yourself.xxx

Mousie- i love the ideas you share. You always manage to offer great alternatives to habitual behaviours & i really appreciate you for that. I am trying to stick to the mission-i just sang a silly song about diarrheoa & collapsed into a giggling heap! Earlier on,i went outside & walked barefoot on the grass. Ooh what a glorious feeling! Not sure if i can keep it up but i have felt lighter in my spirit. A million thanks hun.xxx

Hey Mousie!

Just wanted to tell you about something i did today.I did a diy pamper treatment on my feet.I had to improvise,but it worked a treat.

I totally covered my feet with moisturiser,then wrapped each foot in a plastic bag(courtesy of asda!) & let them soak in it for 20 mins.The only flaw in my plan was forgetting to bring a towel through with me to remove the excess,so i had to slip & slide my way back to the bathroom to get one.Oh dear me! Glad no one was around to see that!!

I asked hubby to get me nail polish & he came home with 4 different colours,all of which are gorgeous.Job done!

Thanks for encouraging me to do nice things.It's not as hard as i thought.xxx
