Ok, so I know I don't post much and so have no 'right' to ask for help from you guys, but you're all so lovely that I thought someone might help anyway

I've just come back from T (ugh!) and realise that I am never going to get the care & attention I really crave from another person, and that I was supposed to learn how to self-soothe growing up. Obviously I didn't, and so was wondering if anyone knew of any links or things that help them when they need to take care of themselves? I've spent my whole life denying the need to self-soothe, whilst desperately craving it from others (Ts, Drs, peers, bosses, oh and my family! lol), so have NO IDEA how the heck I'm supposed to go about this, and T has decided I'm to go monthly instead of fortnightly so I can't exactly wait a month to ask her (no contact btwn sessions). I want to do something self-destructive right now, but I won't. I'll just stuff it down deep inside and try & get on with some work. Therapy really sucks sometimes!!

Thanks guys
