My Saturday

Yesterday was an interesting day. I said I was going to relax this weekend, but had a busy Saturday instead. My husband organised a family get-together at our house in the evening. I did another load of laundry, swept the house and baked a cake in the microwave. Then it was waiting for my husband’s family. After 5:30pm they started to come. We had a braai (barbecue) and there was lots of food. All in all there were eleven of us. It was exciting, but I was glad when we had the house to ourselves once more.
I confess also that whilst I baked the cake, I was mad at myself for making too much icing sugar and wanted to punish myself, so I too the sharp knife to my arm again in secret and cut myself. I was in a calm state of mind, but also determined. Crazy I know!

Today I hope to relax a bit more. Its a glorious sunny day and we are expecting my husband’s uncle and aunt to come over and go with us to the flea market. It’s only a maybe, but there’s definitely more relaxation today - well I hope so!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend! :sunny:

I missed the self harm when I read it first but was shocked to see it second time.

I’m glad you had a some fun company…

Please… making too much icing… It’s not something to self harm over. I hope you can find a way to be kind to yourself and forgive yourself for things that happen to everyone.

I know your working so hard on it.

@Hadeda please dont self harm - Have you ever considered DBT? It works wonders for those afflicted with Borderline
