Relapse
I am so pissed off at myself. I relapsed last night.
I got drunk and then I cut and bloodlet for the first time since New Year’s Eve.
I tried rationalizing it in my head before, during and after, but once I woke up and remembered what I had done I wanted to punish myself again. Do I want to keep doing it… keep it a deep secret again?
Cutting does hurt physically (sort of), but it numbs out the other pain. I can’t take that other pain anymore. I tried being a good girl and I was able to pretend I was for six months, but I’m exhausted and have to shut myself down to recover a little bit.
I know I should stop, but it felt so incredible. Sure, it didn’t solve anything, but it made me feel better.
I was so drunk last night a lot of my truest thoughts and feelings came bubbling to the surface – I couldn’t deny them anymore.
I’m sick of my job, my house, my life, and Nick. I keep trying to push him away – I want him to leave me alone to self-destruct. I want him to get away because I can’t bear for him to discover the monster I am.
I want to up and leave… get away from everyone I’ve ever known. I don’t want them to see the true me. I can’t pretend anymore. I’m just too exhausted.
They would all be so disappointed in me. I’m suck a fuckup. I just want to fucking die already.
On this day..

I don't think you're a monster. I think you've had a difficult life and you've dealt with it the best you could. You're trying to get control over bipolar disorder and self-injury, not to mention all the abuse you've endured. I wish you could see how strong you are. This is the first time I've commented, but I've been reading your blog for about 5 months now. I just want you to know that there are people that care about what happens to you. We've never met, but I feel like I know you through your blog. You really put yourself out there. That takes guts.
I hope you don't think that everything is hopeless because you relapsed. It's just a minor setback, don't let it ruin all the hard work you've done.
