You dont need to do it you have gone so long without doing it. I know you can fight the urge you have done it before and you can do it again! Please try and do something to take your mind off it. Turn your music up really loud and scream as loud as you can and do that till you cant scream no more. Its worth a try isnt it?. You dont need to do this you are strong you can fight the urge! Please be safe

I ma angry with me Rachie and the way I always seem to rebound when somthing goo happens - I am sooooo tired of it part of me doesnt want to have good things happen so the bad trhings dont come back - if they are here all the time it is easier to take than if they go away and come back again - weak and pathetic sorry -

thankyou for your support it means a lot I just felt so alone and out of control now im just sad an disappointed in myself.

I'm glad you didn't hurt you. Hear me Phoenix? I'm glad you didn't hurt you!

Maybe things happen for a reason. Maybe you needed to re-examine some of your issues with SI. Maybe this was a healing step for you.

Please continue on your path of not hurting you. You are a good person and deserve good things.

Be stong ~ this sadness will pass and you know you will get through it. Take from those who love you the strength to let this feeling fade and become another step in succeeding in the fight.

Right now works for me is to picture and feel the sadness of the people closest to me if i did. The people closest to me now accept that i feel this need at times but for me to hurt myself is one thing ~ to hurt them too is unfair, it is what i needed. I hadnt told people before, except my doc, but my love and the love of my fiance and soul brother is so strong now, that for once, i believe it.

I dont feel i could say i would never do it again, i have lapsed before but i can say i feel like i dont have to because i can actually tell someone who wont go loopy demanding that i dont, but will stay with me until i feel stronger. And now i have found PC and although i havent posted everywhere i should yet i have been lurking and reading ~ gathering my thoughts, i feel it is an exellent place for understanding and support.

Take another deep breath and most of all take care of you

Phoenix, you did it!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!! What triggered you?

I'm not sure that I understand this rebound thing. I see it as you having good things happen and then you go back to your usual depression. As you keep working your depression will get less and more good things will happen. Good things happening is progress. Do you see good things happening as an end to feeling bad forever?

Sannah the rebound thing - its like if someone was hitting you - mildly all the time and then stopped and smiled at you - then as you smiled back they hit you twice as hard - it feels like if they just kept hitting you it would be easier...... so next time they smile at you you still smile back - instinct - but you are also sooo afraid of what wil come next - does that make sense? sad today thats all - wish T or pdoc were here - cant see T till after 24th and pdoc 27th - just feeling lost thats all ...

Hey Phoenix,

Sorry I have not been around - been lost in my own stuff. I understand the rebound thing all too well and it's scary. Like being between a rock and hard place - feels like you can't win either way.

It's not about the cutting and if you do or not and I think you know that. You don't have to use that as a barometer of your self esteem. If you do you are bad and if you don't you did well. The feelings are going to be there. SI'ing will just give you yet another thing to beat yourself up over. I get freaked when things are calm and don't know how to deal with it. For me it's almost an out of control feeling.

It's hard not to bite the hook and SI, today I almost did and it wasn't that the urge passed it was just talking to somebody about what was going on. I'm happy that you did not SI, but more importantly I'm happy that you posted and intervened when the urges were so strong.

THIS IS HARD STUFF!!! But I really think that you want this, I know from what you have posted that you really want to learn new behaviors and start to make choices.

I wish I could give you the elixir to make it better, but I don't. But I care and think I understand some of what you are going through. I hope that's helpful.

Keep us posted.
Thanks for this!
