I was having a relatively good day, but now tonight, I really want to cut again. Anxiety is way up again.
I have to go spend the day with my in-laws tomorrow and am not going to like it. 2 of my sister in-laws have said some pretty hurtful things about me, so this is not going to be fun. I say I "have" to go because it is my husbands family, and it's just one of those things you do... |

when you say you "have" to go, do you really? If it causes you so much anxiety is it worth putting yourself in that position? You're worth more than that. Hang on in there, hugs

I have to go because my kids are going and I refuse to let them be with those 2 sister in-laws when I am not around, and I can't justify telling my kids they can't go because their cousin they see like every 2-3 years is going to be here

I understand that. Have you managed to suppress the urge to cut? I admire your determination to go for the sake of your kids. Let me know how it goes

Was having a lot of urges earlier. Spent almost the whole day with the in-laws and we are going to again tomorrow. I am resolving not to cut because that would be letting them win

As the hours go by, I have more and more urges to cut. Once again, I will be getting no sleep... I can't keep up like this

Well, for one, I definitely need to find a way to get more sleep because my tendency to cut is worst when I am severely sleep deprived. Also, I really have to work harder at not hiding from my emotions.

Well, sleep will depend on what my new psychiatrist has to say on the 30th because my meds are no longer working (they help stop nightmares for the 2 hours of sleep i get).
As for the not hiding emotions, it's just going to be a day to day challenge. My T told me we will end sessions early if I sit there and intentionally refuse to deal with emotions (she's doing this because she knows it will be a great incentive for me to actually deal with stuff, as I do not want the sessions to end early) One day at a time |
