Hope, complic8d and tamzinrose. I am still having the urge to hurt myself periodically, mostly in the evenings. I managed to tell my GP how I was feeling and he has put me on a low dose of diazepam which helps a bit, but there are still times when it is very hard. It helps a lot to know that there are people out there that I can ask for help if I need it. So far I haven't drwan blood at all; just gently scratching along the surfaceof my arm with a pin seems to be enough. But it is scary. I see my counsellor again on Monday and I am sure we will be talking about this... That scares me, but I know I need to to get better. Thank you all again.
