......................
....................... When I hear stories about innocent people being hurt or killed, that's when I really get tempted to make myself suffer. Is this an unusual trigger, or pretty common? I just instantly get intense temptations to beat myself to a pulp. Any ideas on how the two are connected??

Do you think that maybe it causes you to have sympathy for yourself and then you don't want that?

I think that it's..... jealousy? Not of the sympathy that they're getting. They are deserving of LOTS of compassion ~ but I feel like I should have been the one in their place. I should have been the one that died.

I get like that too. When I hear bad things happen to good people and I hear how well they or the people around them deal with it.... It makes me hate myself more for not being able to cope with what's going on in my life. I don't have cancer, my children didn't die, I have a roof over my head, and family who loves me. Why do I think my life is so bad that I need to hurt myself to feel better?
Maybe it's something like that? |

I think that it's like why couldn't I have been the one to die? Only a couple of people would be sad, not a drastic amount of sadness nor a great amount of suffering if I were the one. My disappearance would have been much more acceptable in the world than ____'s was/is.
I don't know what that's called. But that's my thought pattern that really gets me going!
