Trigger for mention of cutting...


I am not coping very well right now. Stopped cutting for 11 years and tonight I couldn't take it anymore. I'm so scared and alone. It's 11:30 and I need to go to sleep because I have to get up at 6 to go to school but I'm feeling so anxious right now. I thought cutting would help relieve some of the stress but it didn't. I don't know what to do anymore.

I'm sorry you're struggling so much right now....I can relate very much to what you're going through. My T tells me that I'm distracting myself from emotional pain instead of allowing those feelings to come to the surface, express them and work through them. I spend so much time fighting them and by doing so, they are sticking around a lot longer...

I hope you're able to find a way to get some sleep tonight.....

I am so sorry and can relate. I also just had a SI slip up recently. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Ugh it's just so frustrating I feel so awful. I almost called the emergency hotline last night for the mental health center that I go to, but I figured it was late and I didn't want to bother anybody. I also had a horrible nightmare last night and I woke up shaking from it and wish my T was around to talk to about it. I hate that I miss her already.
