Sometimes I think self injury is the lesser of two evils for me.
 It's really frustrating. I wish I had never started this. I am so easily triggered even though I don't allow myself to give in. I hate wanting to do it. The urges are horrible. I think I'm WAY too old to still be dealing with this. I am sick of it and sick of me. I wish none of us felt we had to do this to ourselves. |

You can diffuse your triggers in therapy. Do you have a therapist?

hi roseleigh, i can relate to your feelings.
 i know the struggle is so hard sometimes. i try to keep the mantra "it will be ok" going in my head. eventually it will be ok. i definitely think that SI can be the lesser evil sometimes, but it's so hard. sometimes i don't think clearly and i don't see the other options. sometimes there are other things that help us feel better. it is frustrating. i wish we didn't have to hurt. it's such a hard struggle. i hope you're hanging in there. take care! |
