Just looked at the threads and everyone seems to be in some tough spots right now. So I just want to give some hope.
No matter how many times you've heard this, and no matter how many times you choose NOT to believe it, here's the thing: it DOES get better. You just have to let yourself know that you deserve better than whatever you're going through right now. Once you realize that there are so many better things that you can have for yourself, that's when you will have the motivation to take a course of action. We all know that SI is a vicious cycle, but if you forgive yourself you can break that cycle. No one's saying that it's easy. I know, because I went through it too. But once you break out of that cycle you will feel thankful for all that you have. Yes, it sounds cheesy, but it's true. So that's all I wanted to say to everyone who's having a rough time at the moment. It gets better if you don't give up. |

It does not get better. Only worse, even when you think it cant get any worse.

At some point you get to a point when youve done all you could and tried your best and just plain and simply didnt succeed therefore there is no point in trying anymore

I understand but I hope you continue to do everything you can to make things better for yourself, even if you aren't the cause of your pain and you feel like blaming someone else.

Thank you for this, it's hopeful to know people who have gone through it and have come out the other end winning.
A minor part of me doesn't want to believe you, a minor part of me keeps on saying this is you, but it has to stop eventually right? I mean eventually the trips to a&e, the pain, the hiding, the fear will exhaust you and you will stop right? You can't bare to look at yourself in the mirror because the damage you have done disgusts you, so you ignore them, pretend nothing is there. 10 years and counting and I still can't stop. |

Like you said, it will eventually stop. But that's only when you want it and need it to.

Everyone being nervous about going to a T doesnt exactly help my nerves. U asked how i changed, well i started drinking excessively and he never knew anything about me liking to drink. Also i cut so much more and deeper. Im on a drug though im not addicted. And obviously im so much more suicidal. There's more but i think thats it mainly. God that felt like such a relief to write to actually have in the open. It depressed me so much that no one in my life knows my current mental health. Im going to my T tomorrow - if i dont cancel. Im just nervous about it. Ill sound so stupid since i asked for the appointment bur then i wont even talk. I hate it. I feel si stupid wasting his time. But thnx so much for your latest post it rilly did help me a bit.

I did end up going as i kind of knew i will. He was able to that i was nervous no need to say anything. He actually weedled that info out of me, he found out i drink and cut. When he asked me about drugs i didnt answer cuz i didnt know wat to say. Is nicotine gum considered a drug? He's very firm and doesnt let me get out of answering any of his q. Since thats the only way he gets info. He got very nervous about me, i thnk hes scared. But he didnt ask me anything about suicide which surprised me. Whatever it was odd but i survived it. Thnx so much for your posts it helps me alot. Thnx

You're welcome. Too bad that your sessions with your T are adversarial. Therapy works better when you see the T as a partner rather than an adversary. How long have you been seeing this T?

I'm really glad ur fine. At least someone is.
No i dont have a plan about talking or anything which is why Life sucks even more. I just cant talk but i want it all out there. My T asked me a q and i didnt answer he refused to continue until i answered he noticed how i struggling and groping on how to verbalize it so he helped me answer his q through the process of elimination. I cant stand life, it sucks. Totally worthless. I take nicotine gum, extra strength. I dont think im addictive it just makes me feel better. My T wanted to know if im doing drugs and i didnt reply to that inquiry. Im just cutting more and more, anywhere- all over my body. Its bleeding so much more and im scared ill need stitches shortly cuz im definatly gonna do it on my own. Thnx again for listening it rilly helps me to write here cuz no one else knows much about my life |

Nicotine, like other drugs and other addictions, like SI, chocolate, excessive shopping/eating, releases endorphins and improves your mood.
Do you know that embarrassment is really shame about yourself?

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