All it seems i think about these days is just how i could hurt myself. I've been studying alot for exams lately, spending endless hours in the library, but i can't stay focused. I spend most of my time wishing i were somewhere else and just planning on what i'm going to do once i get home. Its so scary to think that the only way i can "deal" with my stuff is by hurting myself ... or at least spending hours obsessing about it. I wish i could make it stop ....

Hugs, if OK, and I am in the exact same boat. (Well, I finished school a long time ago, but the obsessing about hurting myself, I'm right there with ya.) Let me know if you figure out how to solve it. "studying" PM if you want to chat, maybe we can help each other.

I know what you mean. My finals are next week and my mind has reverted back to as soon as I feel any emotional pain I want the physical pain too. Sometimes it's all I can think about which makes me upset because I can't study and then I want it because I'm upset. It's an endless vicious cycle it seems.

However, it is possible to not act on the urge; Incredibly difficult and at times impossible without anothers help, but still it's possible to fight it.

I wish you the best of luck
