So yesterday i got ambushed into feeling out a questionaire at a doctors office when i amswered the suicide question incorrectly i was questioned as i mentioned in another post.i told the guy i had self harmed the previous day and that i still had my tool.he asked to speak to my therapist and asked me to call her as well.since then i have cut twice once because I was upset by my case manager and tonight cause i was just plain wanting to.im afraid cause tomorrow i see my therapist.i know shes talked to the psychologist already and i know she kniws ive cut at least once.im afraid shell ask if ive done it more and for me to give up what i cut with.im afraid if i don't shell have me admitted. My therapist usess the danger to yourself rule to extreme so evrn cutting can land you a hospital visit for three days.in my case more. I don't want to go back to the hospital but i don't want to give up what i cut with either cause its my last piece no way to get more cause parents will take them away if i lose this one.dont know what to do appointment is tomorrow freaking out.

(((Passion)))

I don't know what to say except that I've been there, and I have been committed for simple self harm (not suicidal)...They let me out the next day because they knew I wasn't suicidal.

Speaking as someone who has a little bit of time between their last SH and today...It could be to your benefit to go inpatient for a few days and learn some coping skills. Or maybe you could use this fear of being committed to your benefit because if you do cut, you might get committed, so best not to cut.

I'm just trying to think of ways to help you stop the cutting behaviors.

Why do you want to keep your cutting tools so badly? Do you want to continue cutting? Can you not think of a life without self harm? There are so many better ways to deal with your anger and other emotions rather than taking them out on yourself.

I know you don't want to be hospitalized, so I hope that turns out in your favor. But I hope you'll also start to accept the help to get you to stop harming yourself and start loving yourself.

((Hugs))

Cant go inpatient ive had bad experiences and im different inpatient it's down right scary sometimes because its hard to control myself and i hurt myself more. I guess I feel like the cutting tools are my adiction if i give them up how will i escape the thoughts though i have thought of taking a cold shower im not sure im ready to give it up entirely its a safety blanket .i could use the fear to not cut if it's not to late

I thought the cold shower was a good idea too. Try that.
