Hi silvermelody. I remember that we used to have each other on our favorite diary lists. I used to be twistedknots. Now my diaryname is borderline26. Just thought I'd let you know.

Hey, I just wanted to tell you about something that I think is pretty cool. I'm in a group on another site and we wanted to do something to creat a little more awareness within the SI community. So we came up with the idea of "SI beads". People who SI wear braclets or necklaces with orange beads. People who SI and are trying to stop wear braclets or neclaces with orange and white beads.And people who stopped SI or people who is friends with someone who SI's and supports them wears white beads. Some people are thinking "I don't want people knowing I do this", but were trying to keep it so only people who SI or friends and supporters of people who SI know what it means. This way people who wearing these beads can feel better about wearing them. This way people who SI can identify other people who SI or people who support those who do. I just wanted to see if you were interested in the idea. If you are it would be cool if you would help spread the word. Thanks for your time. Kimmie

Hi. I took your survey on self injury. I am writing a book about it and was wondering if I could use your survey results in it. I won't publish anything personal, not even user names or wht website I got the survey from. Also, I am collecting personal accounts, poetry and general opinions from everyone and everywhere to add to it. If you's like to share your story, please email me : [email protected]
from shrinkodebt :
a good idea for a ring- I just joined (about to check out your diary)
from dejour :
Hey, I took your survey and then read your diary. I hope that you are doing ok. It's quite a process, but it does get better. Have you done therapy? It really helps. I got the book "Anorexia Nervosa: A guide to recovery" by Lindsey Hall and Monika Ostroff. That was a big help, too. To read that others have the same thoughts I was having and still have was kinda reassuring. Talking to others who have an eating disorder helps, too. Just remember that if you want to continue your sport your body needs the food for fuel. You need the food in order to live. I still have to remind myself of that sometimes. Good luck. I hope you start getting better soon. It's a huge relief- the happiness and freedom you will feel will be awesome.
from sacredwhore :
I've been struggling with depression my whole life. I didn't know it until I was actually diagnosed is Augustm but after talking with my doctor for an hour I could remember several times in the past when I had the same symptoms. I have had some really happy periods when I wasn't on medication, but it always comes back . . .What is it they say on the commercials, just because the symptoms go away doesn't mean they won't come back.
from wherwhenwhy :
I don't think there is such a thing as complete recovery when you have been battling it for so long. It will always be there in the back of your mind but I do believe you will get well, you just have to find what is right for you, and if you can't talk to this woman don't. There is no point in knocking yourself out over it, that will just make the situation worse. You will get well though, you can't be like this all your life if you don't want to and it sounds to me you don't. It's a bit of a double edged sword on good days you want to stay as you are and on bad days you want it to stop. And it is the bad ones you have to concentrate on. lots of love
from xliextoxmex :
You know, I hate it because society bases beauty and perfection upon our weight, but the minute we lose the weight everyone gets worried or tells you to stop. I'm in the same situation as you pretty much. I don't NEED to lose the weight but I like being smaller now. I still want to lose 5-10 pounds althought I'm scared I'd be underweight for my height but I mean... I like being thin... :S <3<3
from sacredwhore :
Hey sweet heart. Just read your diary for the first time. I don't know much about your eating disorder, but if your nutritionist says your a healthy weight and you want to go ahead and loose the extra pounds go for it. As long as the pro's say your healthy thats whats important. The extra skin will go away eventually.
from wherwhenwhy :
I've been reading your diary for a while now and you last entry sounded really optimistic. I am glad you seem to be sounding a bit happier than you were. lots of love
from xliextoxmex :
You write beautifully. You have such power and pain in your words. I feel alot like you are and it scares me. I hate this feeling. Anyways, I hope you feel better, doll. Take care of yourself. <3<3
from tevon :
Smile.
from miedema2002 :

from dark-world :
Hey. I read your diary a lot now. I don't know why. Well.... I guess thats all...
from miscellanity :
hang on, baby.
from mia-indy-ana :
hey girl! i just took your survey and it's really nice to know that there are others with EDs so that we can turn to each other for support. write me any time at [email protected] . P.S. I love Steven King's The Stand. Awesome book!
from cateldragon :
i just took ur self-injury survey. am just starting looking for help and just started psychiatry so am a bit nervous about it all. its comforting to know im not the only one. thank you. oh and you have really good taste in music/films/authors x
from slalauren :
hi, I took your survey so I thought that I'd just drop you a lone. :-). I'm new to this site so I'm still looking around a bit. Peace, Lauren.
from myhorizons :
I saw your banner ad, I must say, I too suffer, and I am surviving.
from oldlight :
heya....I've just read poems- notably the three part one- and i'd just like to say you write very well, with your own terse unique style :) write more and take care.
from deliriouseye :
Hi, I just love your diary. I know how you feel about a lot of stuff. I joined your self injury ring. Its been at least a year and a half since Ive really hurt myself bad. Now I am dealing with other stuff than cutting. Just think of all the time youve kept away from hurting yourself, and that it would be nothing if you gave up and did it again. Good luck with everything. :) ~Kayla
from bleedingisnt :
love your diary, it's wonderful
from invisibledon :
thanks for visiting - REM is on the radio - Everybody hurts sometime ....
from criex4xlove :
i like your poems. i know exactly how you feel, and that you feel that no one CAN know how you feel. it's shitty huh? i just find it kind of odd that i wandered onto your diary because i actually had a "friend" named melody, i called her mel, but we don't talk anymore. i used to cut, and also had an eating disorder, but things are going better, although that doesn't mean that i feel better, but i think it's cool that you are honest about your feelings. peace
from crazgrrl :
Hey Silver! Not sure if I've written you yet, but you are listed as one of my fave diaries. I really appreciate the SI ring, and the fact that you are very open and honest about self-injury and eating disorders! I, too, am from Indiana- Bloomington, actually! What area are you in? I'm orig. from Owensboro, KY, though. So... thanks again! Rock on!! ;)
from marigold3eb :
I just wanted to say tonight i joined the ring you started and thanx for what you are doing, the fact that there are 800+ ppl on it scares me though, ppl shouldn't do this to themselves and i hate doing it to me, but then again i know 7 ppl including me that cut and now ive found so many more. it's been a year so far, a yea today i think actually. oh and there is a plus w/ you, you like third eye blind. my fav band in the world and my life savers. stephan jenkins is my imaginary mentor. i cut b/c im numb, i was never abused, i was never anything, i grew up alright i guess i just cut b/c i don't feel. cutting isn't just b/c you were abused or anything, i want ppl to know that. email sometime, id apperciate it. thanx AMY
from astrobabe :

from meadowcosmos :
i love the book the stand =) its nice to find someone else who does!
from scarletbreze :
hey, this is interesting. I put the same Goo quote on my profile, I'm clinically depressed and i LOVED Skin Game (yes I cut too)...drop by my joural some time, I just started it tonight so theres only one entry....take care
from pinkcar :
That's so great that you haven't cut since July. Congratulations. I know how hard it is to stop. You said that you didn't know who you could talk to. I'm not a professional but you can always talk to me. There's a website that I've recently found called Safe Haven. I'm not advertising for them, I'm a new member there and reading other people's posts and getting advice is helping me not pick up the razor. http://safehaven.self-injury.net.
from crazgrrl :
I am SO adding you to my buddy list! You are brave to start this ring and to share your life with the world!
