Make the decision to do life differently and reach out tomorrow to a behavioral health clinic. Be honest with them and apply the skills they help you discover. No SH tonight at its not going to fix anything. You’re not alone in this gal.

@Jules000 Julia! I’m Julia too, we’re sisters! I just wanna say how proud I am of you for coming so close to the edge and pulling back. You are so immensely strong for feeling the great pain of this experience and facing it head on, keeping the focus on your true desire, reaching out for support, and learning/practicing the tools that will help you to make it through - you are a champion and you WILL get through this. these sensations you’re feeling are intense, and they WILL pass. you are actively breaking this cycle of abuse. you’re doing exactly what you need to do and I am so proud of your courage and determination to build a life for yourself that you deserve, a life that honors and takes care of you in reflection to how well you’re taking care of yourself. So proud sister Julia

I am so grateful that you did come here when you felt the urge to SH. We are here for you Julia. I know it feels scary reaching out for help but it will be easier being able to share these urges / sensations with someone else. Possibly find a healthier outlet for when the shakes start.
I know the evenings are the worst for you - is it possible to find ways to distract yourself at night - change up your routine?
Sending you love and hugs.

Looking great Jules.
I’ve had to share my feelings and issues with others so I could get better. I didn’t want to either. I don’t know much about SH. But I did find this.

A nice trip with my Wife and daughters to the Royal Gardens Harlow Carr for their “Glow Show”.
Life is for making memories and living in the moment, you don’t get any replays so make the most of each opportunity.
Thankfully we are all blessed with the greatest gift to be able to make a change ever……time!
