I don't know what's going on.
My thoughts are all over the place.
I feel depressed... and sad... and I make distinctions between those two.
I feel really lonely.
Nothing's happened today. Nothing out of the ordinary. I've been home all day. My insomnia was kind of bad last night though.
I exercised. Tried to raise my mood. Maybe I'm exercising because it hurts... Does that count too?
I just need it all to stop. I cut just now.
My anxiety's up, and I'm tired. I just want to lie down... And never get up...

And then the other part of me that's screaming that I'm overexaggerating... That makes me feel worse...
What's going on.... I want to SI again.. To make these feelings stop.
Because I can bleed.

Do you think that your loneliness is driving all of this?

You probably got issues because of what you have experienced? The only way out is through - through your issues and accepting yourself just as you are is the first step in working through your issues.

But I can't justify this... I can't validate the way I feel... Which is a big issue in itself I think
There is no other way out.. but this suffering.. is insufferable :\
I'm sorry

I'm absolutely sure that you have valid reasons for feeling the way you do. I think that when a person doesn't validate how they feel it keeps them from dealing with it so it does just keep hanging around and doesn't change.

Do you have a therapist? SI is an addiction and like all addictions you need more and more to get the same effect because of building tolerance.

Well I broke my own rules... I wasn't supposed to go near my wrist. I do have one, but she doesn't see it as a gigantic problem, just a coping tool.

Yeah, it is a coping tool. Is she helping you work on the reasons that you need a coping tool? Does she know how bad your SI is?

Well she's never seen my scars, she knows I've never been hospitalised for it. Never needed stitches etc.
She's given me tools when I want to, but she said she doesn't think it's a bad thing ALL the time. =\
I went to her because of this. So I guess she must know.

I'm sorry Sannah, I'm a bother

You are not a bother. Have you ever talked to her about your SI? If you don't mind me asking, what are you working on in therapy?
