I told my therapist this week that I used to SI as a adolescent/child up to 9th grade or so.
Besides doing it twice at the age of 20.... I haven't done it since 9th grade and now I am a junior in college. I guess you could say I'm 2 years clean from it but, that would discount the other 4 years I didn't do it at all... Anyway, I have chronic back pain which keeps me from dancing. I don't really-- maybe cus of depression-- or not wanting to face the issues... I don't feel like writing. so, really... at this point ... I have the Urge. It's like taking up space in my head ---meaning, I am so surprised that I'm having the urge that I am more shocked by me wanting to do it, then what would actually happen if I did it. When I wrote it down on paper-- the SI and handed it to my T-- and she read it outloud, it was like surreal for me....because, I thought it was just this phase and that I would never have the desire to do it again. When she read it though... it resonated so deeply with me and really showed me that I am going to need to find a solution soon..

Are you discussing stuff in therapy right now which would cause the urges?

I dont think anything I'm discussing would cause the urges because I haven't went in much detail about anything ... I need to think about that though.

Are you thinking about the past then or is something going on in your life right now that could be causing them?

a little bit of both but, i feel it's more of the every day stuff... right now, just not having enough solutions to my anxiety or something... panicky and anxious i feel and i just want an IMMEDIATE fix, other things will give me that emotional release but, they take too long and I know cutting wouldn't.

Are you working on these current issues in therapy?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
