It's not really something I've had discussions about, like <I>how</I> people self-harm. Most people look scared if you start to go into details. But I'm interested.<BR/><BR/>Oh and hi Cindy! I keep meaning to head on back to LJ but then I forget... I'm a bad blogger! Hope you and Bill and Ally are all good. :)Robbiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528997485488258141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23755840.post-90957948811822631802007-12-06T10:39:00.000+00:002007-12-06T10:39:00.000+00:00you know I didn't see anything wrong with your tra...you know I didn't see anything wrong with your train of thought. Hmm, I wonder if that's because it was actually sraightish or because I can think in a winding manner as well. ah, well I'm glad your not SH any longer. other then that thought I'd pop in and say HI.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23755840.post-13040653730504766222007-12-05T11:39:00.000+00:002007-12-05T11:39:00.000+00:00Self Harm is fairly common and not commonly talked...Self Harm is fairly common and not commonly talked about here in the states. We call them cutters, so I never really equated what I did with self harm, but it was essentially the same thing. When I was married to my first husband, who was abusive, I used to hit myself with a belt. Face, back, legs - anywhere I could get a good swing. Occasionally, it would leave welts, but mostly I lived for the sting. The sting was pretty good. It's rather embarrassing to write about it now, but when my son was having his problems and I wasn't dealing with them well, I did it again. 20 years later! It surprised the heck out of me, but it got me to go see someone about how I was handling things. In a weird way, it helped.Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23755840.post-84770260023977002062007-12-05T00:26:00.000+00:002007-12-05T00:26:00.000+00:00No, I did search but he's not on there. I probably...No, I did search but he's not on there. I probably wasn't going to add him, just take a quick peek at his profile!<BR/><BR/>Damn, you've got me wondering about that now!<BR/><BR/>I'm not usually so sharing, mostly because I think it looks like I'm trying to provoke a reaction, or asking for sympathy. And usually I'm not. But there's something rather fun about baring your soul a little - and it's only stuff I'd probably tell "real" people anyway, if I was asked, or it came up in conversation.<BR/><BR/>When I first started blogging, some of my friends commented that they admired my honesty (I think they really meant my complete lack of shame! ;)) Stuff you blog about depends on why you blog in the first place I guess. Mine's just about me mostly, whereas a lot of others are about something specific, like food or humour or being a mother or whatever.<BR/><BR/>Well that didn't make much sense... never mind.Robbiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06528997485488258141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23755840.post-39444119001418198272007-12-05T00:17:00.000+00:002007-12-05T00:17:00.000+00:00So did you find John?My first kiss I was dressed a...So did you find John?<BR/><BR/>My first kiss I was dressed as a 'Santa's Elf' at a school disco. Teeheehee.<BR/><BR/>I corrected Ed last week about it being a 'pair of compasses' and he asked me 'why call them compasses - is it from the same origin as the one that point's north?' to which I don't know the answer.<BR/><BR/>I admire your blogging because you properly write your feelings down. I always feel that mine is more of a performance for an audience. Hmmmm...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
