This bank holiday weekend was not good for me. The sun was shining, I had the flat to myself and yet I did nothing baring watching a few films. I didn't go for a walk, I didn't sit outside and enjoy the sunshine I stayed in my room either watching films or sleeping. Even eating didn't really happen. I tried to see people but everyone I know has a life and has people to spend time with. As I said a post or two ago, it never really bothered me spending so much time alone, watching TV, watching films, being by myself. Over the last year I got use to spending time with people and now I crave that and miss it when I don't have it. On top of that as shitty as I feel I can't bring myself to cut. I don't know if it's to do with the weather being nice and it would look very suss if I wore long sleeves. From the little sun bathing I’ve done today my scars are really noticeable. But I digress, bank holiday was tough. I couldn’t take being so alone. I really couldn’t. I tried to see people but everyone was busy so it was just me trying to waste time. Friday, Saturday and Sunday I did something in the evenings. I didn’t cut, in a way I wish I had but it was something I couldn’t bring myself to do. I couldn’t smoke, I didn’t want it. So I did something I haven’t done in a very long time. I was afraid to begin with but then as it took effect it and all my fear went away. I forgot how great it made me feel and now I look forward to the weekend so I can start again. The problem is that this is more dangerous than any of my other coping mechanisms. If I get the proportions wrong I could end up very ill or dead. This coping mechanism has a lot more connotations.
