I've never cut myself; I've over-medicated and felt terrible and I've tried to OD - that's my form of SI.

But recently I've been thinking more and more of SI. I suffer from BP II, (My T thinks maybe even BP I, as I am very intense in my depression; but I've never been manic, i think!)
Anyway - during my depression I can get sui thoughts.
I'm now thinking I want to rather divert those to SI, a kind of physical release of the mental anguish. I'd start on places that I can cover up.
I know you will all tell me not to do it, but I really feel I'm at that place where I need to...
I cannot take the mental anguish anymore, and don't think I'm ready to walk the path of OD just yet.

Can you talk about your mental anguish? This does help with release?

Just not sure who to talk to. I see T tomorrow lunch time. It could be a hard one, as there's already a rupture with me feeling abandoned by her when I really needed her.
BUt i think i need to bring this up - i actually need way more than 1 hour to go thro this with her...

Will do - I also need my pdoc to listen to me when I talk about my sui ideations. For now SI is my way of not quite carrying out the process, but still getting 'relief'
