I haven't self injured in seven months, but I started up again. It's a problem that I've been working on getting control again of. But just now, I keep getting these thoughts of just ending it. And I know for certain that I don't want to die and that I would regret it. But right now it seems as if a way to get out of this nightmare that is my reality. This is really scaring me, because normally I can just push those thoughts out, but right now I can't.

I realize that I'm rambling and I know that I won't commit suicide, but does anybody know of ways to get those thoughts out of your head when they start plaguing you?

Distractions. That's the only thing that will help until they pass.

Play a computer game, bake a cake, take your dog for a walk, just do anything to try and take your mind off stuff.

Can you call your T?

Have you been working on triggering stuff in therapy?

No, Mine is through my college and she doesn't work during the summer.

I have, but I'm still not exactly sure what my triggers are. It always feels like a surprise. I'm sure there are signs, but I haven't been able to figure them out.
Thanks for this!
