Anonymous hi. i haven't cut in over a month, but i started triggering really badly tonight, and i don't know why. i just really need to do something. i ran out of my meds today, so i didn't get to take anything, and i feel like i'm out of control. i don't know what to do, but i know what i want to do. help? :(

Wow!  A month, congratulations! I’m really proud of you Beautiful:)

I have a link to ‘coping methods’, they will give you a list of things you can try to distract yourself with! Try all of them, I’m sure you can do it!

I believe in you<3

Anonymous Hey! Advice :)? My ex sexually abused me. I've gotten better at coping but I find it difficult sometimes because I've only told my pastor about it. I don't have too many friends so I've found it hard to open up about it to anyone. I want to talk to one of my closer friends about it because having someone my age that knows what I'm going through and that I can talk to when I'm having trouble dealing would be great but I'm afraid he'll get mad at my ex or something since he's a mutual friend.

I’m so sorry to hear that! Your strength is admirable. 

Telling your pastor about it is already a start, that is progress! Tell whoever you want, as long as YOUR ready to talk about it. If you are comfortable around that person and feel like you can tell them and you want to, go for it. 

Talking about things are very big steps, and achieving that is a great goal! But you have to be ready for it and balance the consequences. 

If you feel this would make the matter worse, then their may be other people you could talk to who keep confidentiality and have gained your trust.

You’ll know what’s right at the time but personally I would talk to the police about this and he can never trouble you. 
Keep staying strong Beautiful,
