Longs story but I haven't cut in almost a month. My therapist is so proud of me. Only problem is I overdosed on pills again. She'll be so disappointed in me. She's called 911 on me for an overdose in which case I landed in a mental hospital (worst experience of my life!!!!
  ). I feel that if I cut now, I'll let her down. But the urges are so high!!!! I'm going crazy!!!! I mean....I've been doing it for five years. How am I supposed to stop something that has been working for me for so long?

Hey there, I just read your post- I haven't been on in a while, but I hope you're ok! Hopefully a mix of therapy and meds might help. You need to be able to stop cutting for YOU not yourself. I know when I had issues with self injury, I started drawing on my arms with a sharpie- after a while, the urge would go away and I'd have random cute drawing on my arm. I don't know if that'll work for you, but it's just an idea. I know you're doing well! There's so much to live for!

the most important thing is that you do this for yourself not your therapist. if you aren't ready to stop you might not be able to. one day at a time! please pm me if you need to talk

I know it feels like it works (I battle self-harm also), but that feeling doesn't last. Eventually, you "have" to do it again to feel better again. But stopping for someone else doesn't work. I know the yearning to have people be proud of you; it's something we all desire. But until you see it (SI) as a problem for you, you won't really see any reason to change it. Be honest w/ your T. If she's a good one, she'll be happy you told her the truth; that's a tough thing to do. I had to tell someone I looked up to after I had OD'd previously. I was so scared of her reaction, thought she'd be so disappointed. She wasn't disappointed in me, but she did feel sad for me. She didn't want to see me going through such pain & that meant so much more than when I thought she was proud of me for doing good. Let us know how it goes...hope I didn't sound too preachy. I understand; probably talking to myself as much as you cause I needed to hear it too. Take care!

Congratulations on not cutting. Seeing a dietrician or nutritionist probably would be a good idea for healthy weight loss.
Good luck. |

BW, are you talking about healthy weight loss or switching from 2 addictions (SI and pills) to another addiction (eating disorder)?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
