I'll put this in a trigger box...

Possible trigger:

Have you ever disclosed to your T that you did something harmful the day of or night before a session? What was their reaction? Did they force you to go to the hospital? Last night I had a drink and took some pills, not as a SA but to cope with being forced to have sex with my H. I see my T tonight and I don't know if I should tell him or not.

I've disclosed taking a

Possible trigger:

smallish OD of sleeping pills

to T before and since I was okay physically I didn't have to go to the hospital. I've also disclosed SH of varying degrees and didn't have to go to the hospital. I hope that helps. Kit.

Possible trigger:

I OD on a small dose of tylonal. Why because I wondered what it was like, impulse thing. The next day I had T. I walked in he asked how I was doing and I told him. "I OD'd last night." He was like "L, you can't just walk in and tell me that." So we talked about why, how much and stuff like that. However I am a high suicide risk. I tend not to realize my actions can cause death. So it's worse then when I have SI thoughts.

I tell mine I SH all the time and she doesn't say anything. Maybe she thinks it's for attention and that's why she doesnt address it. I dont do it for her to tell me not to though.I do it when emotions get overwhelming. I wont dtop just because I dont want to.

When I had my suicide attempt I did it right after being in his office. He obviously found out. I tend to take way too much Ambien at times. I’ll end up “drunk texting” him and he knows I’m high. So, not very good at hiding it, and not sure I’d want to. I want him to be able to help me with my problems, and missing rx and otc drugs is one of them. So I’m pretty open. He’s never flipped out on me.

I ended up telling him what I did last night and told him I was close to calling 911. He asked why and I told him it was

Possible trigger:

Because I started shaking and it scared me but I didn't want to end up in the hospital and have my H miss his mandatory meeting today.

. He said that what I did to myself was dangerous and asked how I was feeling tonight. I shut down a lot tonight because I'm so upset and scared and worried about myself but I couldn't even bring myself to say that because I didn't want to cry

Mine makes me do a DBT chain analysis on it to find the root cause of why i did it. I absolutely hate those and it is actually a deterrent for me to not SH as a rule.

Then he lectures me on commitment. I have told him it all feels like a punishment although he says it is not and does not act at all mad or irritated with me when we are doing to chain analysis.

I don't mean to Monday morning quarterback your T, or criticize him harshly, but for me the problem in the situation is your H. You need to be living in a safe situation, not an abusive one, in order to heal. Even now your concern about taking care of yourself (being in the hospital) is about your H missing his "mandatory meeting" which I don't understand, unless you being in the hospital means he has childcare responsibilities and therefore would miss this meeting.

I think your T needs to be focusing on how to help you find a safe living situation for you and your children. Apparently your H will not stop his violent behavior, and your T is focusing on how you respond to that. If you can get away from your violent H, it seems like the problem with your self harming will be solved.

You don't have to justify your decision to me or anybody else, but I don't think your T is addressing the real problems, at least as told through this incident. And I know you know what your options are and the resources that can help you change your living situation, but I guess I would just say from working with quite a few people in your situation, that your health and the well being of your children is far more important than whatever it is your husband is supposed to do. He needs to be accountable for the consequences of what he does, and what's happening in your therapy is the opposite of that-- it's all about you and how "dangerous" you are to yourself.

My last T made me do mood logs ALL THE TIME. I hated doing them so much I’d cry. But they were probably one of the most helpful things I’ve done.

We talk about H and what he's doing, and all of that. It's just not something I care to always disclose on here. And the meeting he would have had to miss because we have 4 kids together that he would have had to watch if I was in the hospital.
