When things are not good, try setting yourself a goal of getting through, say, an hour without SI. Living an hour at a time, or even a minute when things are very bad, is a good coping strategy.
Try to focus on the present, and your goal of getting your degree. Take your meds. Talk to your T and your dean about whether you can see a more experienced T. You never know what might be possible unless you ask.

I do. The problem is that I'm not wired to immediately turn to listening to music when I am all wired up like that. If I do, I usually come down again and regain control. It's just a matter of getting myself to remember to do that when I am in a crisis. I instinctively turn to self harm right now.
I'm just trying to get through the night without cutting. If I manage to do that, then I can tell my T that I haven't cut since my last session (which was Tues) which I haven't been able to say yet this year. I know my roommates are upset with me because I left a dirty dish out (rolls eyes) but I'm about to go get my prescription filled and hopefully be able to go to sleep. It will be so nice to sleep through the night. It's been so long.
