i was very down about an hour ago as i do when anxiety builds up an i get so depressed. I was lying in bed crying an all of a sudden a strong voice inside me said pick yourself up! i always seem to keep going but this was a very big wake up call. its like somthing inside me has changed. i got up wiped my eyes an looked in the mirror i have bad wounds on my wrist on my arms from self harm an i had a hard look at myself. then i got together the stuff i self harm with an chucked it in the bin!!!! it was hard but i felt like i was sticking a nife right into "the panic monster" i had a nice bath an had a good chat to my mom! i know i got a long way to go but everytime i get it now i am gonna say PICK YOURSELF UP!!!! just thought i would share it with you all. hope your all ok michelle xxxxxxxxx

Michelle,
I say good for you!! You show that "panic monster" that you're not afraid of it and YOU ARE IN CONTROL!!! You've inspired me!! I'm going to say "pick yourself up" to myself when I'm feeling down. Way to go!! I am so proud of you!!!
