distractions

Thanks. It's easier to do in the mornings if I have slept, and easier to do if I'm in a better head space. I do keep reading over and over certain threads. I replay conversations with my t, all to try to remember that maybe I'm a bit biased in my opinion of myself.
My chest still feels like it wants to cave-in this morning, but my head isn't so full of cobwebs... hoping I can take all the support from here with me to t today. I need to remember to hold on to this stuff. It's hard though. I didn't self harm much yesterday, but it was more because I felt defeated and hopeless that even that would work... :/ did reach out to t though, and she was very kind and supportive. Really gonna miss her

Hi This Way, yesterday sounds like an improvement then, right??!! So if so mark it as one!!! Give that to yourself!!!
And the reasons........you feeling defeated and hopeless........if they were overall feelings as well.........then good triggers to SI, right???
You know even if you're lacking so much energy/not even caring about things, that isn't necessarily going to reduce or stop SI if............and defeated and hopeless........I'd still say well done!!!!!!
And you know- "It's easier to do in the mornings if I have slept"-really good thing to know, really good thing to have in your armory!! I could say focus on things that might help with your sleeping, but I know it might not always work/help so from that you do know that things can get a little easier. And really try to focus on that when things are harder..........so if you can just hang in there as much as you possibly can.........things will get lighter/easier.
And that's great that you felt you could reach out to your T!!! And did!!!
I know it might not be as easy with someone else.........but given the right person and time......
