I would hazard saying that their concern is understandable then. They want to make sure you are safe. If you quickly decompensate to serious sh, the hospital would be the safest option. Sometimes there's only so much you can do outpatient... Is there anything you can do to work on containment before you hit that major crisis point? I know making an honest list of all that I get out of self-injury over the weekend helped me understand it better. It also helped my T and I work on some alternate ways to get what I need. I did have to write the list thinking I would never show her though. Too much of what is on there I consider very shameful. If I thought I would be showing her, I would not have been able to be honest with myself about it.
