There's a hug for you. I wish there were a way to make everything easier on you. My T doesn't respond when I e-mail him about cutting either. I think they just don't want to encourage that. Mine says I have to stop too. Could we work on it together? I haven't done it much because I saw how concerned he was when he realized it was getting worse, and because I scared myself again. I kept thinking about cutting my wrist or neck. I'm about back to normal now though, and doing quite a bit better than the last few weeks.

You are so good at so many things, and you are a valuable person.

You can make decisions, and you can help other people. Since you're watching from the sidelines, could you step out and give yourself the advice you would give to someone just like you but not you? You would tell that person how much she is needed, and give her comfort, just like you do the other employees you help. Taking your own advice can be harder. I know, I'm there too. Can we make a deal to both work on it?

Love,
Wendy
