My t finally says it is ok for me to journal, only if i focus on emotions and how they feel in my body. this is as close as i could get to that today.

8/24/12

Having some urges to cut, I am in a lot of physical pain coupled with the fear I have of talking in therapy about "that choice" I want the easy escape.
My body is in pain in many places.
As for the fear of talking, I feel it as a lump in my throat and a slight shakiness of my core.

I think the urge to cut is because I could stop thinking about that thing, and I would be in control of some of the pain. I could cut very deep to forget it all.
I am NOT going in to the urges. I have power over my choices and I can and will cope in some other way.

Thanks for this!
