Self harming again, suicidal again.

F*cking sick of it all. I don't even know why I'm like this except loneliness. I've gone off my head recently, with skin hallucinations, delusions and God knows what else.

I don't even know why I rant here when nobody here can help me. The therapists can't help me, DBT can't help me, nothing helps.

Are you on meds?

I think ranting here is helpful in the sense that people understand. They may not be able to solve problems, but all can understand on some level and it's also a safe environment to vent.

I get that your dbt is over but that doesn't mean to neglect it (if you are). The class would've come to an end eventually. You have the foundation.

My advice would be that you look to your dbt skills to help you. I think trying to distract yourself would be good. I find that responding to threads can be very helpful. It takes your mind off of your problems by helping others..

Hang in there!

It can feel that way, I know.

I also had a si episode this week.

Just one. I stopped it. But it still happens.

The most help I get here is identification and being able reach out to others. And that does mean a lot to me.

But...I know...

If only we could feel like someone could just take us away from it, huh?

I know...

I wish I could take us all away.



BPD hurts.

Hang in there girl,

It may seem like it's 'all gone down the tubes' but today is new and a new day to try again. Courage is just getting back up and moving forward yet again.
I agree with cbox, use distraction when the feeling comes on...it's so hard when we're in the grips of an emotion, but I've found that the more we practice using distraction, self soothing and radical acceptance the easier it becomes, we're rewiring our brains to make these things the default action.

When our default action has been destructive for so long we feel there's no other options, but there are.

Remember to be gentle with yourself, and try not to beat yourself up about it, you're still learning and growing, it takes patience. Hang in there.

Much love.
