In my own way, this is why I point out all the ways that things could go wrong, and how this new coping mechanism is taking growli further and further away from her end goal - being independent of her parents so she doesn't need to return to their home.

While I can't force anyone to do something healthy, (and growli has had pretty much everything imaginable suggested to her already), I can at least try to help point out the repurcusions of the new habit, which could help her control things if she was to choose and actively start trying to remind herself of the potential outcomes.

It was the only new sort of thing I could think of to attempt to help. Growli's chosen to dismiss them (you did right away btw growli) which is obviously her choice, but I suggested them because it's what I do and what my T has me do - when my thoughts turn nasty, I combat them with the possible ways that things could go that I don't want. Doesn't make the nasty thoughts go away, but it does help me not self-destruct.
