The main time for me is anxiety over driving. I have to drive an hour to go to therapy and I usually SI in the car after the drive because I am so worked up. Which means it is right before therapy which isn't good because my therapist ALWAYS knows, grrrr.

It is also an OCD thing for me which I don't know if anyone else experiences. Once I get SI in my head I HAVE to do it to get it out of my head. It can be at any time. It just pops in there and circles and circles and circles and then I have to do it.

The other time is when I am alone. I have serious problems being alone. When my husband leaves me alone even just for a few hours I get REALLY scared and that is when I want to SI. (the chat rooms here have been helping though, when I get scared of being alone I go there and then I feel less alone)

And of course there is the old standard of getting really upset over something and wanting to take it out on myself...

I guess I have a lot of reasons why I do it. I try to curb it as much as possible but the driving one is what gets me EVERY time.
