Occasionally, I have fleeting thoughts of SI (stab my arms) and only when I am feeling rage. These urges trouble and scare me, tremendously. My anxiety increases so much that I sometimes think I will cross the line and submit to these urges. Never ever have I acted on them. I have enough problems and don’t want to resort to this coping method.
This anger I have has bothered me for years. It is very deep and has to do with life long alienation and misunderstanding. Processing and expressing my anger appropriately has been a challenge. In the past, I used to punch holes in walls and break things. Will these SI urges ever go away, once I figure out how to address my anger? What can I do to alleviate this? Urgh! |

SI can happen when anger or other emotions are not heard. Your anger needs a voice. Your anger has a right to be heard. Can you find a way of allowing your anger to express itself in a healthy way such as art or perhaps running?

Stabbing your arm is a big risk... know from personal experience..

Do you have a therapist?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I did some writing and it helped me work through some of the anger. Therapy is something I am going to look into. I am just not sure I can discuss these nasty urges.

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