i would encourage you to tell your pdoc or T. i have told mine when i have started having thoughts about it again (i dont do it anymore, really - but i definitely used to be addicted to it). neither of them have suggested that i increase my meds. my therapist has talked to me about the stuff that keeps bringing it up for me (uni task completion is a big one) and my pdoc has helped me find other things to do instead.

it helps a lot to have support through this. if you voice your concern about not wanting to tamper with your meds even more, i am sure it will be respected .
Yes, tell ur pdoc or T, they will be rational with their decisions if you too can also be rational while telling him/her
hiding things under the table is really only going to crete dammage done to urself
if u do tell ur T, then he/she can teach u skills to help get through ur urges and issues relating to it
Try to stay safe and keep me posted, feel free to PM me anytime
thinking of you alot and sending you warm wishes,

"To dwell in the here and the now does not mean you never think about the past or responsibility, plan for the future. The idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about past or worries about the past or worries about the future. If you are firmly in the present moment, the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of your mindfulness by looking into the past, but you are still grounded in the present moment"
