Keep intentionally triggering myself for some reason.

Sending 's and my thoughts to everyone needing them at the moment. It seems like a rough time for a lot of people.

Hang in there I promise that the urges will pass again and it will get easier.

Really struggling tonight and not even sure why to be honest It has been almost 6 months now that I've managed to resist but it's back and I really don't want to hold out any longer. I know I'm normally the positive one but I'm sick of being positive- what difference does it make? Who would know or care if I gave in now?

A lot of us would care, don't want you to hurt yourself I understand the urges that come out of nowhere after stopping for a long time.

I've managed not to do anything since I OD'ed, but it's always just a thought in the back of my head. Which is endlessly frustrating.

Not many urges lately. I'm very happy about it. T was very excited to hear about how i've been addressing the sui thoughts (a constant for me) and I really do feel like i've been making a lot of progress!

On another note, my mother saw one of my scars today and I had to come up with some dumb excuse to explain it (she only saw a glimpse, my excuse wouldn't have worked if she saw the whole thing). It was awkward, but it also, for me, was added encouragement to find healthier (or at least less visible) ways to handle my emotions.

my therapist "ordered" me to refrain from SI for 1/2 day on two occasions this week. Kinda freaked me out, having this limitation - without any real way of coping.

Throughly enjoyed a session of SI once I got past 1pm today.

I felt numb and self loathing and stressed and just couldn't deal with anything. So I relapsed after about a week.

whoops.

Urges today like crazy. I am having sui intrusive thinking and it's horrible. The biggest enemy in me recovering is me, and I am apparently stubborn as fu**.

Yesterday was really hard for me. The urges were so intense, I thought I would give in but I cried a lot and talked to a crisis counselor which stopped me from SI. I'm glad I didn't give in but it's getting really hard
