Why is it that when pain comes from some unknown source, but it makes me want to inflict pain upon myself? I guess part of it is from knowing the source fo the pain.... I have this medical test later today, and I feel like crap... I just hope they figure out what's wrong, and aslong as it's not in my head, I'll be great. Meaning I just want something that they can treat so I don't feel like choking when I eat....

But yet I want to see the pain.... HUH??? this makes no sence...

Not sure if ive fully understood where you're coming from but my experiences at the moment are similarly frustrating. Ive got chest problems which i can't get my doctor to care enough about to diagnose so as a means of coping with this pain i SI...i don't know if its to help me focus my mind on pain thats coming from elsewhere or if it just helps me relieve some of the anger im harboring towards my doctor. All i know is that being in so much physical pain does nothing for my already poor mental health and when i recently told my doctor this he again remained unmoved *sigh* i hope you get the answers you're looking for...
Thanks for this!

Could the SI just be a way for you to cope with your anxiety? How did it go?

It's been 6 days, and let's just say my mood has dipped again. I've had problems with my digestive system, and that has brought on sui thinking. the SI thinking is almost better than the sui thinking. I Know my mind is trying to find an escape from the physical pain of my body, and the pain that has come in my mind.....

I can say that I'm one month clean of SI... but I"m not sure if that is actually a good thing. I don't know anymore.

I can totally relate to this one! I am dealing with severe back pain again, and the SI urges are SO bad right now.
Thanks for this!

just a little update....
Haven't SI'ed, but keep thinking about sui methods, mind feels numb, concentration is poor, and yet I"ll atempt to talk about what it feels like... later today with T...

The real problem is the week and a half of not very good sleep becuase of Acid Reflux that's in my esophagus... I want and need good sleep, and soon...

How did it go with T? How are you doing now? Are you taking antacids, not overeating, sleeping with your head up? I found that my reflux was from food allergies. I treated the food allergies and now my reflux is gone.

well ... I shouldn't have driven there. I ended up calling a friend to get a ride to see a doc... Part of what's going on is vertigo, I got dizzy and I really shouldn't have driven anywhere... but I did anyway. Doc did the best thing for me, gave a med to make me sleep... Some of what has been going on could be psychosamatic, but maybe not... I don't know.. My throat is still tight, and it feels like there is something stuck. Not the best feeling... I'm on something for the relux, but well I just don't know what's going on... I just hope that the doc can figure out what to do. Live hasn't been fun... and then you add finals to all of this... grrrr...
