I've been in a difficult place for the last several days. Things are really good school is going well, could be better, but I am going to pass all my classes and make it through a whole semester first time in a year and half. I'm proud of the small steps I have taken still get frustrated sometimes with who I am and where I'm at in life, but it passes. So here's the problem I can not stop hurting myself it keeps escalating in aggressiveness and intensity. I'm working with T and she has good advice but I just can't stop. I just feel this overwhelming urge to treat myself like garbage and for the first time in my life I feel like I don't deserve this. When you think you are garbage then it make sense to treat yourself like ****, but when you don't think that way anymore and can't stop then what? I guess I am just ****ing crazy

Therapy is the best way to overcome these self-destructive urges and actions so keep at it and hang in there because it should get better with more treatment. In the meantime do you have a pdoc? Maybe there is something they can prescribe you to calm down those raging emotions and help prevent you from hurting yourself. Hang in there.

Hoping for the best with you. Be proud of the small steps, a major victory is a combination of several small battles won.

And you should feel proud for every single victory, no matter how small.

This condition takes far too much away from all of us and you know what? We deserve a break once in a while. You deserve it too.

You have achieved a lot, and you are hanging in there, coping with a serious illness. I say you have a lot to be proud of! You deserve to treat yourself better. Imagine that a friend said the things to herself that you are saying to yourself. Would you think that was fair? What would you say to comfort her? Then say that to yourself. Be proud of yourself, and remember that negative thinking is a symptom of BP, and it doesnt mean that you have to listen to that voice. Because it is not true.
