list

[anon,irresp.]

unfortunately things are not going great in beating this thing. did i tell u that i had absolutely nothing , nothing open on my face. i have been wearing bangs to hide wounds or scars for about a yr. i had clear forehead and did not wear bangs. that lasted only one day. one day. can anyone explain to me how after a year one or two days most,,, and i did a huge wound in middle of my forehead. i did not have that for many many months. its unbelievable how i couldn't last, without inspecting. it pitiful to say that i did less harm when i couldn't see the forehead, and i knew nobody would see it either.

my dream was to get rid of the bangs, also my family and friends' dream . it almost happened and i messed up.

ok here is a list that i must bring with me and memorize: i will have to add more. anyone else have more?
1. self control--> self resect
2.will to bear discomfort
3. distressing thought,dangerous if act on it
4. skin imperfection is trivial--> don't turn into emergency
5. control muscles to not act on thought of touching and fixing the problem ( squeezing,scratching the imperfection)
6.don't romanticize (don't stay in transe)

7. self respect---.self control-->freedom ( freedom to go live life, get job, keep job, go out whenever want to,,,,) not boung by unsightly wounds. waiting til heal.

You know what you have to do... When your ready you can do it! Really. Its all about you being ready to stop and taking all the negative about it and turning it positive to fight it off.

Hey, I'm back! I'm doing ok, but have been tempted lately to self-destruct so came here for inspiration. I like journaling and making lists and I thought I would add that it's also great to list your blessings. It does a lot to turn your bad mood into a good one. Just list good things about your personality and things you have already overcome and everything material and spiritual that God has given you. I usually don't pick when I'm being thankful. Then write down you're thankful you didn't pick and went to write! ;D
