Help for Cutting

How can i help a friend with cutting?

• Ask about it-Friends with cutting problems are often glad to be able to talk about it. If you bring it up and this person isn't self-injuring it won't start just because you said something about it.
• Offer options but don't do. If someone's using cutting or some other kind of self-injury as a way to feel in control, it won't help if you try to take control. Helping someone see ways to get help-like talking to a parent, teacher, school counselor or mental health professional-may be the best thing you can do
• Seek support. Knowing a friend is going through this can be frightening and stressful consider telling a teacher or someone else you trust. And remember even if you don't want to share your friends's secret, you can still talk to a mental health professional about how it is affecting you.

Remember you're not responsible for ending your friends self-abuse. You can't force someone to stop or to get help from a professional. What you can do always, is keep being a good friend.

How can i help myself?

• Talk to someone you trust. Maybe its a parent or a good friend or a school counselor. Tell them you're cutting yourself, you want to stop. Ask them to help you find help. Know that you may get some tough reactions like denial or sadness or anger, but that will pass. If you're not comfortable with that, cotact a local mental health group or a hotline.
• Get help. Cutting isn't something to deal with on your own. There are therapists and support groups who can help you work through what makes you cut. Even if you're nervous about getting help NOW is the best time to do it. If you wait, the problem will only get bigger and harder to hide. And remember, you can stop cutting.

ya know i type all this up about get help and i've got help ya know but its hard and sometimes i don't even want to quit so i don't know about this whole thing.....i encourage everyone to get help and talk to someone about it.

Cutting info

I found this on a website called mpower musicians for mental health and they had great articles and stuff. but this one is on cutting and i promised a few weeks ago i would get you some info on cutting and what the deal is with it.


what is cutting?

• cutting is when someone takes something sharp, like a razor, knife, scissors or piece of glass,and runs it along a part of their body usually to the point of bleeding or bruising.
• Most cuts are made on arms, wrists, and legs. sometimes peope cut their chest, stomach,face, neck, breasts, or genitals. Cutting on the arms and wrists is the most common because it's often easier to make up excuses for marks on these parts of the body
• Cutting is a form of self-injury or self-mutilation some people also call it slashing or slicing
• Besides cutting people may hurt themselves in other ways, including scratching,burning skin with a lighter, punching, or headbutting

Basically peope cut to deal with difficult problems or fellings, but there are better, healthier ways to cope.

Who Cuts?

• About 2 million people in the us hurt themselves in some way. most are teenagers or young adults, and they're from all races and backgrounds. To hids their cutting they often wear clothing like long pants or shirts, even in warm weather

Why do people cut?

For most people, it's hard to understand why anyone would intentionally hurt themselves. but, for those who cut, there are a few reasons

• some people say they do it because of emotional pain they can't put into words
• Some say it gives them a sense of control when other things in their life are out of control, like a break uup, a friend who's sick or a parents divorce.
• some people cut to punish themselves for troubling thoughts and acts
• some find the act soothing and it makes them feel alive
• some cut to get a reaction

No matter the reason, cutting is a serious, dangerous behavior, and may be a sign or another problem

Is Cutting a Suicide attempt?

usually, people who cut aren't trying to kill them selves. At the same time, cutting can be life-threatening. In fact, sometimes, people can't control the injury and die accidently

If you or someone you know is thinking about killing themselves, contact 1-800-273-TALK(1-800-273-8255) immediatly to talk to a crisis center in your area. Suicide is never the answer to your problems.

Ok thats it for today i'll have the second half of the info tomorrow or the next day. The rest of it is on how to help a friend or how to help your self if your cutting or your friend is cutting.

I am also going to start working on a massive coping skills list with every coping skill i can find on it and i'll have it posted in a week or two.

If you are struggling with this or have any questions just email me at hot_smiling_gurl@yahoo.com with the subject as cutting and i'll gladly answer any thing or just be there to talk as a fellow cutter

Things to do-Oct 16 2007

1. Write erica my tech an apology note(we kinda got into it on friday because i wouldn't take a bath to go out with her and she got mad. I could tell she was mad and i don't want to lose her so this is what i've gotta do)
2. Make out a list of things we can go do together
3. Make up my own distraction list.
4. Go get my lip pierced with stephanie and taz. I'm actually getting my labret pierced. I think its gunna hurt like hell but thats ok i can take it. I actually want to do a post on tattoos and peircings and aftercare and that type stuff.

Just for an update i dyed my hair last night its like a blackish brown color looks really good. Today i'm going to get my labret pierced. I'm sort of scared but definitly want it done. granny is gunna dis own me after i get it done and stuff. I've got some new pics that i should definitly put on here. I want to borrow moms camera for getting these pictures made. oh well gotta go. see ya

To do tomorrow-oct 14, 2007

1. Get up and take a shower
2. start going through my books-i want to make 3 pills keep, maybe, and get rid of. So i will need three boxes to start doing that tomorrow.
3. work on my plan to quit cutting and feel better-this includes.....making an info sheet for everything i do to be recorded....like what time i wake up, what time i go to sleep, what i did during the day what i ate, breakfast, lunch, dinner, did I self harm, did i have thoughts of self harm, did i have thoughts of suicide, Did i take my medicine, morning and night. All that stuff on one sheet. This will help me keep up with what i'm doing what skills i'm using how my lifestyle might be affecting what i'm doing and i can use this for my counselor to provide her with the info she needs cause she always ask how much sleep have you been getting so now i'll be able to tell her......also i need to find more coping skills
4. When i go through my room and like my closet area like with games and puzzels go through them and see if they have all the peices count out all the puzzle peices and see if they don't have it then get rid of them i need the space....start that tomorrow
5. Then i got this great idea for our avon business. It has to do with selling the breast cancer stuff and Domestic Violence stuff. I got the idea that we could take the items and make a flyer out of them with using pictures and stuff and putting all the order info on the flyers and passing the flyers out to everywhere to get the word out about breast cancer and domestic violence. We could try to get kmart to let us sell the stuff in front of their store or maybe walmart or sams and then maybe we could pass them out at the library or leave a big stack for the librarians to give to each person who checks out. We could distribute them to churchs to put out or use as bulletine inserts. Maybe the receptionist at universal would be willing to hand one out to all the people who come through. Maybe see if we could put some in the hospital waiting rooms. maybe give some to the school. We could posibly get personal on the flyers saying how much both these issues mean to us since we've had family in both situations. We can look up facts and info on breast cancer and domestic violence and put them on the flyers. Or we could just order us a crap load of books probably for the same price as making flyers and make a fact sheet insert to go in each booklet. thats an idea.

well i guess thats the end of my list i will probably be posting my plans to quit cutting on here soon so stay posted.

Coming Back

Hey everybody, sorry i haven't been on here much to post anything. I've been going through a hard time lately. I think this time of year is just a bad time year for me cause this is the month i had my suicide attempt last year. And i'm having small thoughts of wanting to do it agian but not major thoughts so thats a good sign.

I have started cutting agian. For those of you who don't know what that is I'll explain a little bit about it and then do a little longer post on it later in the week. Cutting is a form of self-injury. Self-injury includes cutting, burning, hitting, etc. People who self-injure tend not to be able to regulate their emotions well, and there seems to be a biologically-based impulsivity. I'll include more details later.

Also since the last time i have been on here I have smoked pot for the first time with my sister. It was pretty cool I guess. I just felt cool doing it. I also have been taught how to snort pills which was cool but didn't do anything for me so i haven't done it agian since.

I'm gunna work hard a t keeping this thing up to date so keep checking back.

Cutting

i've been cutting agian. I know i've gotta stop though its bad to do. here's some coping skills to help with urges to cut.

1. write poems
2. write songs
3. read
4. sing
5. listen to music
6. paint
7. draw
8. talk to someone
9. tear some paper
10. eat
11. take a shower
12. hold ice
13. rubber band on wrist

theres lost of others that i'll try to post later those can help you for now.

news

well my mom found out i was cutting agian so thats out and now everybody knows.

I'm thinking of starting an online used book store and starting to sell used books. I'm gunna start out selling on ebay and amazon till i can set up a website of my own. I think it'd be cool.

I'm also wanting to work on doing something with mental health like passing out a paper with certain numbers on it and other stuff. I think itd be good.

I think thats it for now i guess.

Things

Theres been a little bit happening but not to much. Sorry i haven't been on here in a few days. I'm just giving you an update right now of whats happening then i'm gunna try to get some content on here later tonight or tomorrow.

I went to the dentist today. I had some cavities filled. They numbed my mouth up. I couldn't talk right afterwards it was pretty funny. But the fillings still hurt when they where drilling and blowing the air on the teeth. But thats over now

Veronica was over here earlier this week. We didn't do much together just enjoyed knowing we were in the same room with each other i guess.

My moms been on Vacation this week. I miss her bunches. She went to Harrisonberg, Virginia i think. Not sure about that though. Maybe ill look up some info on where she went here in a minute or something so i can be in the know.

I found out my counselor is quitting the place where shes working now and going to business for herself. She will hopefully take me with her but we don't know how everything will work out yet. I'm pretty nervous about that. What if she doesn't get to take me with her? I don't wanna switch counselors agian. Maybe I will just go without one for a while. I don't know.

We had homecomeing at church Sunday and it was pretty good. Lots of singin then of course there was some good food. I also saw Dino who went to another church and Bethany who said shes been going to another church.

I think thats it for now i'll try to update again later or tomorrow. See ya

Friends

I am doing this new thing to promote my blog. I'm building my friends list on myspace and then i am going to use my myspace to promote my blog.

i started off today by adding bands to my friends list then later i'm going to start joining groups and start participating some in them to get to know some people the ni will go through the groups members lists and invite people to be my friends.

Then as i get more and more friends i will promote my blog with bulletins and such.

My Sister

I am really worried about my sister. She is 17. She got married to this guy named Mark. Mark won't get a job and we found out he hits her. I really don't like him. Well the last few weeks my sis has been calling and saying she was leaving him and she would come over and stay the night then be back with him the next day. Well this last time when she went back to him she called my mom and told her that she didn't need her help anymore for like getting to work and stuff.

Now last night she got in a wreck. They were riding with some guy and hit a tree and she broke her wrist.

So i am really worried about her. I don't know what to do to help her or what.

What is a Blog?

I was doing a little research on the web this week and came across this info and thought it might be useful to some one.

Blog is short for weblog. A blog is a type of website, but differ from the usual site style, by having these characteristics:

• An informal, personal, ongoing diay-type commentary by an individual: either about his/her life, or opinion/news about a specific topic
• Most blog entries are plain-text mini-articles, though pictures, audio and even video clips can be incorporated too.
• Latest blog entry appears near the top of the front page with previous entries below it in date order.
• Blog entries are usually short; longer posts are sometimes split so the balence of the item is on a new page.
• Readers often have the oppurtunity to add their own comments about a blog entry, or even respond to other peoples feedback
• Readers can opt to recieve an alert by RSS every time a new entry is posted on the blog
• Most blogs are created and updated through a web-based interface system such as Blogger. No technical Knowledge is needed to start a blog, though technically-minded people can install software on their servers to create more sophisticated and customizable blogs.

I hope that this info has helped you become more intouch with what blogs are and how they work. They are really very interesting.

starting a website

I am really interested in starting a webite. I've been talking to a lady from church and she said it would be cool to have a website for like the youth group to have so i think i'm gunna create that. I'm thinking i'm gunna start with yahoo's geoCities and try to make one there and see how it goes. I'm also thinking of taking a class on web design a the community college this semester if i get the money. I don't know though. I think it would be cool. I've been looking at stuff on like starting your own like web design business and stuff and i think that would be cool. Just wanted to let yall in on some of my thoughts. I may have a few more posts on making a website with info on actually doing it.

service day

well i've been working more on the program with my mom and come up with another cool idea. It's to have a service day where for that day or a week people go out and they do community service stuff to earn their time dollars.

About the service day do i want to do it before the holidays or after the holidays. I know i will be asking for a lot of help during christmas time and thanksgiving and wanting to do a food drive and toy drive with the people in Emma Bucks. So either do the week in september or october or do it after the holidays.

Doing it after the holidays will also give me more time to get use to the program and the people and just what goes on. Also it will give me time to plan out more and get more people involved in the program and working and doing stuff not just sitting around.

i think this is a great idea it will get people involved hopefully and log more hours into the database and just improve the community overall.

i also sat down and made out some goals that i want to see happen, i don't have a time frame for when i want them to happen by but i do have the goals that i want to happen.

Just Stuff

Well i've been pretty busy the last couple days or actually this whole week i guess. I started talking to mom about the program she does at work and we got to talking about how she doesn't really have the time to put into it any more with all the stuff she does so i am pretty interested in it. The basis of the program is that you do for example an hour of service for someone so you earn an time dollar for your hour of service then u can use that time dollar to buy someone elses services. Its basically a way to build the community up and bring people together. I am very interested in it because i've been looking at this stuff on kindness and community Service projects and stuff like that and wanting to get involved in that some how. So i've been thinking about working with mom on the program and sort of starting to revamp the program some and just sort of bring it back to life.

I have already sort of been thinking of some things to do. The first thing i would do is call all the people in the program and see if they are still interested in it or not that way we would know who would be willing to do stuff and who wouldn't.

Then i've thought about maybe putting together a newsletter type thing just a little one page update one the program and activities each month maybe highlighting certain services each month. I just want to do something that keeps the members up to date and in the know about whats going on, what's happening.

Another thing i found that you could do with the program thats not being done is sending out bank statements each month to show people what amount of dollars they have. I also think that would be a great idea.

Also i thought of getting on some kind of email system where we could keep people updated by email. We could do the newsletter over email for the people who have it and the bank statements too then we would be saving money on paper and postage and stuff like that.

I think that we should do a new sheet for people to fill out with information on it that would include new stuff like the email if they have it and so on. And then this would just refresh the info we have and make sure the stuff they need is up to date and what they can provide is up to date to.

I don't have any ideas about recruiting new members yet but i'm gunna try and figure something out for that. The only thing mom told me was she would catch new people when they come to the center for a food box or for emergency assisstance or whatever but not much besides that. There's gotta be something along that lines that i could do.

The only problem with this whole plan that i have is that i'm very scared about making phone calls and doing stuff like that which could put a big damper on the whole call everybody plans, ya know. I don't know what i'm gunna do about that. I've been working on the problem with my counselor but only twice so its still hard. The good thing is though that mom said her and her boss could still be there for doing any public speaking things because thats definitly not for me at all.

Creating a website

I've been sort of thinking about creating a website. I'm not quite sure what i want to do it on but i've got some good ideas. I'm just not sure how to do it or what it would take to create one. I'm thinking of taking a class at ab-tech on web design in the fall so maybe i'll get some pointers then. I found a site www.siteground.com and it offers a pretty good package on the domain name and the hosting for just 5 bucks. I think i could afford that maybe. I don't know i'm not making any money so that could be a problem. but here's an idea, maybe i could do a little newsletter about my website and info stuff and sell it to people to help cover the costs of the fees. thats a good idea but would people buy it. I don't know. we would just have to see. I could do the newsletter on the news or stuff like that or whatever. It would be good publicity for my site and help me pay the bills. good idea.

Isaiah 53:5

"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed"
Isaiah 53:5

Its amazing to sit here and think about the pain that Jesus went though, and all of it for me. If i was the only one left on earth he still would have done what he did. Just thinking about the beatings he had where the whip they used would rip his skin off, it makes me hurt just thinking about it. But Jesus took it and was able to bear them and he was able to carry his cross up that hill. He took those nails, don't forget they were supposed to be our nails, but he took them for us and died on that cross.

But thats not all!!!!

3 Days later he rose from the grave triumphant over death

Amen to that!

I was doing my bible study and time with God the other day and this is what i came up with.

"And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:19

This was a very interesting verse for me because like i've said in other posts i am interested in missions very much. There is a Dicipleship Training School put on by Youth With A Mission and i have been very interested in going to it. So let me tell you about it:


Discipleship Training School: Surrender Never Felt So Good
The DTS is an introductory heart-change school designed to give you a solid foundation of personal discipleship. Whether you're interested in career missions or just want to take some time to focus on your personal walk with the Lord, the DTS is for you.


the next one that i could possibly go to would be January 6th, 2008

the cost is $2890 for the lecture phase and $2700-$3200 for the Field assignment

I think it would be a great experience for me especially in missions since thats what i'm feeling called to do. The school spends like 3 months doing the lecture phase and the book work part of the schooling then they go out for a two month outreach project. thats when we will be doing mission work. That would be so cool.

The only thing is i'm not sure i could do it. Like i think i could but i would be really scared. I'm still thinking about it but i need to decided soon and if i'm going apply and see if i get accepted so then i can start getting some fundraising going ya know.

I also must mention that Veronica is supposed to be home from her mission trip now so i should get to talk to her soon so i'm excited about that.

New Creation

I read this in a devotion today and it was very uplifting and i thought I should share with you. It's from Crosswalk.com.

Romans 8:1 tells us there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. We each have sinned, but you no longer need to be afraid of your dark past. Epesians 5:8 promises, "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light." You don't have to be afraid. Christ is calling you to live in fearless freedom.

Reflections

1. What triggers memories of the past?
2. How has your life changed since you became a new creation?
3. Who can you trust to share a story from your past? God will use your story to help others find hope.

Power Verses

"Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; Once you had not recieved mercy, but now you have recieved mercy" 1 Peter 2:10

"when Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkneww, but will have the light of life." John 8:12

This was very inspiring to me because theres a lot of stuff that i have done that I'm not proud of and i don't like to think about and this just lets me know that God sets me free from my past.

God and Stuff

Jerimiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

This is my favorite verse from the whole bible. I think about it all the time and it gives me inspiration. I wanted to share it with you to inspire you too. Just think about it God has plans for us so we can know that we have a future that we are gunna be ok. thats great to know.

I went to camp with my church a few weeks ago. We went to camp Caswell at the North Carolina coast. It was a great time and I really got a lot out of it. Like I figured out that God wants me to go into missions. Which has been a big thing for me cause i have been thinking about and dealing with this for a long time. I still am struggling with it too a point like questioning whether i will be able to do what is required to be a missionary and stuff like that.

Another problem i'm having is not wanting to go to church. Like i used to love church but i think it used to be for the people not for God. Now all the people at my church have changed and its just not the same. Its not as welcoming and as loving as it used to be. I think it has something to do with my mental illness but i'm not positive. So i don't go to church i don't read my bible or pray most of the time, sometimes i do but not a lot, but i still come back all the time to being pulled to the mission field. Is that bad....i still believe in God and stuff. I have definitly done my share of questioning him though but overall i believe in him.

Is this bad? I know i need to do better. Maybe i can set up a schedule for doing a devotion every day then i can get back on track with doing them and start spending time with God because i do miss God. He's my friend my best bud and i haven't been communicating with him for a while now. This is definitly what i'm gunna do. alright i'm gunna go work on that for a while. see ya!

Bele Chere at a Glance

Bele Chere is a street festival, featuring live bands, children's rides, food booths, arts and crafts vendors, and other entertainment. It goes from Friday through Sunday. It is held in downtown Asheville.

Why we have Bele Chere:
Because 29 years ago, downtown was pretty well a gohost town, with most major stores having relocated to Asheville mall, Bele Chere was created to bring visitors back to downtown, and its one reason the city is so vibrant today.

How Much?
All entertainment is free except for Saturday gated Bele Chere Jam at City-County Plaza.

Weather Forcast
Its shaping up to be a pertially rainy Bele Chere. Look for highs in the lower 80s with a 40% chance of showers Friday and Saturday, increasing to a 50% chance of rain on Sunday.


Well thats some of the basics of Bele Chere. I hope its helped you in some way. I'm looking forward to Bele Chere. I was supposed to go last night but of course it rained so i'm going today hoping for no rain i'll let you know how it goes.

Living with mental illness

I just read a blog by someone and they were talking about what its like to live with mental illness. To live with the effects of bipolar disorder or Borderline personality disorder. How it can screw up your life your relationships every thing.

Also how people make fun of mental illness like its a game or just some silly little thing that doesn't even matter when really it does. It matters a lot. People throw out suicide threats all the time just joking around but they don't know the real pain of someone who's really going through that. The lonliness, pain, sadness, depression. Feeling so bad that you hurt yourself. you actually take a razorblade and slice into your skin. They don't know that kind of pain. Or how about to take a lighter to your skin and hold it there. Or to hold a lighter to your clothes hoping they'll catch on fire and you'll die.

What about when the pain gets too much and you take that almost fatal overdose. They aren't sure whether you'll wake up or not or if there is damge done or not.

People who don't feel this who don't experience it don't know about it and therefore they shouldn't joke around about it.

Abortion

Well i signed up with a blog carnival tonight and now i have set up a carnival to be hosted here on this blog. The Controversial issues blog. i think it will be a great carnival. The first issue is on Abortion. I just wanted to get on here and put my two cents in about abortion. I am definitly against it. i think that they should have the baby and then give it up for adoption or something not kill it i mean come on. Thats how i feel now let me hear from you.
