I am needy and annoying, and I am crawling out of my skin.
I am so uncomfortable. Life is so confusing. I am questioning everything I have ever believed. I am really losing it. |

Take some slow deep breaths. Would soothing music help you? What can you do to calm youself? I'm sending you good vibes.

I just scratched a layer of skin off a spot on my arm.
 I really just can't deal anymore. I am going to try to sleep for a little while. ETA: Trigger icon added |

You'll probably laugh, but how about video games - they're a good temporary escape. Please don't hurt yourself.
You know what's a good tip to avoid SI - hold some ice cubes in your hands until you can't stand it - ouchy. See if this helps.

I went to my water color class and I feel a bit better.
I hope tomorrow is better. At least I have a painting to work on now if I get a chance tomorrow. I have this feeling of impending doom. |

I wish I could paint! I can barely draw a stick figure LOL. What are you going to paint? I'm glad you're feeling a little better

I know how you feel. I am overwhelmed by life's difficulties right now. I scratch my skin too - I have a 3 inch diameter would on my leg that has been there for years. Because I have so many more significant life issues to deal with, I've let it go, and my GP has given up on me. But I'm going to give geatting it healed a real shot. I also attack my quicks and have permanently deformed them. One of my psychologists told me the other day that it is Self Harm, and was rather shocked as I guess I thought cutting was self harm. But I realised it's true.

Popped a Seroquel last night and slept like a rock. I am still rather sedated this morning. I haven't had a chance to feel anything.

So BNLsMOM - I really can empathise with you; the ups and downs are terribly draining and debilitating. And not knowing how are going to feel the next day sux too. I unfortunately have no answers for you - all I can say is YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!

I am less tired and headachy, thankfully.
I am so nervous because I have to go to an auction for my son's school tonight. I am having a really hard time with crowds lately and this will be more than 250 people crammed into a function room. Today I have the sensation that bugs are in my mouth. When I am eating, I have to take bits out if it doesn't feel right because I think there is an insect in my mouth. Every itch I have, I think is an insect or spider on my body. It is going to be very difficult to be in a crowd tonight and even more difficult to appear normal. |

I am seeing my T tomorrow. ETA: I see the new p-doc in the middle of May.
My plan for tonight if I can get out at all is, to zoom through the silent auction as fast as possible, then hang around near the exit in case I need to get out for a few. I am going to stay at the table and make sure I am sitting near people I know. I am half thinking of taking my own car so I can escape if I need to and go home. I can use migraines as my excuse. The insects feeling is creepy. I am hoping to be able to ignore it tonight. |

I hatethat sort of thing. Try concentrating on your breathinga nd do a quiet, interal scan of your body. How are the toes doing? Hello toes, follow on up to ankles, hi ankles, how are you and so on all the way up to your head, stopping and following your breathing at intervals through. I do thins if I start feling the anxiety taking over, and it helps, but it does take concentration. Hang in there. Even a short time is a vicotry, dear. We're rooting for you.
I HATE the itchy bug feeling ! BLEH!!!!!! |

No victory tonight. My husband just left and I decided to stay home.
I feel really weird, both physically and mentally. I made my husband check my hair before he left to make sure there weren't any bugs. Last edited by BNLsMOM; Apr 16, 2010 at 05:05 PM. |

Not every day is a victory, but you need not be so incredibly hard on yourself.
