last night i really wanted to hurt myself and since my husband was still awake apparently i felt the need to get creative with it and ended up raking my knuckles against the wall and hitting it a few times, scratching my arms all up, and biting the inside of my lip. i really just wanted to cut to make all the feelings go away. i was so depressed. after doing said acts i came out to the living room to talk to my husband, b/c i really needed some support. as usual he was really no help, since i really thought i should probably go to the hospital b/c i was suicidal to say the least. instead i just went back to bed, thankfully going to sleep.

now i just feel stupid, and kinda look like i've been in a fight which doesn't make me feel any better about what i've done. i don't know what my problem is, but i really wish things would get better, because they're supposed to, right??

Yes, I'm in therapy. This week was a particularly hard session seeing that we're starting to go over my past. I just had a really bad day yesterday.

I'm so glad that you are in therapy. Does your therapist know how you have been struggling this week?

I told him I've been struggling for the past couple weeks. He then pointed out that it probably due to the medication overhaul that I'm currently going through and the fact that I'm coming off an anti-depressant. Last night was just a bad one though. I feel slightly better now.
Thanks for this!

It could also be the past issues that you are dealing with in Therapy that are causing your mind so much pain.....if it was pain in the past, dealing with it will hurt also....just bringing up past issues trigger me really badly. I don't have the SI issues, but the depersonalization & other anxiety reactions are really bad.....especially at this time of year when everything seemed to happen in the fall & winter's in my past.

You sound like you have a lot of pain inside that is working on coming out.....sometimes we react in the way you did to try to make that hurt go away....only causing a different kind of hurt. You can add to that, th med issues, but mostly, it's the past things in our life that mess us up the most......anything else is just in addition.

Sending you calm thoughts & peace
