Urges. I can deal with them. They are just annoying me though.

SlumberKitty · Dec 08, 2022 at 02:25 PM

I'm going to try to stay self harm free until after my Peru trip in late April 23. Do you think I can do it? I'm at 51 days right now.

Stupid relapse/lapse whatever it is. IDK. IDC

Having urges. Some of them kind of are bothering me but I am just trying to ignore them.

Hey slumber, is there a pattern to when your urges arise? Are you aware of the triggers, is it just random sometimes?

I'm not too sure what triggers it. It seems random but there might be some underlying pattern that neither I nor the therapists I have seen have figured out. I can be perfectly fine and then four hours later I'm in crisis and either self harming or having bad urges. It's weird how that happens. Sometimes when things are going too well that seems to be a trigger too. What is that like self-sabotage? IDK. It's tricky. I think right now the urges are related to my thoughts being unstable. What I mean by that is more paranoia, hearing things that aren't there etc. So I think the urges have popped up due to these other things going on. So maybe that's a trigger?! IDK.

Having quite a few self harm urges. Sigh. I don't know. I probably won't act on them but I'm not 100% sure.

brings jellybabies in if they will help distract Kit's urges

Jan 16, 2023 at 05:08 PM

SlumberKitty · Jan 16, 2023 at 05:10 PM

Thanks willowtigger. You're so sweet. I like the black licorice ones.

brings the black ones in for Kit

Having urges this week. Not sure if it is related to having a lot of anxiety/panic attacks. Or if it is something else. Sigh. I gotta make it six days to get to two months.

Hang in there Kit!

brings more black jellybabies in for Kit, so she can eat them instead of doing anything to herself

SlumberKitty · Feb 23, 2023 at 02:42 PM

Urges, urges, urges. They've been with me for days now. Sometimes they are emotional. Sometimes they are thoughts. I am finally getting kind of spaced out/dissociated though the thoughts persist. But they don't feel as much a part of me. I may still end up self harming. I don't know. Urges are upsetting. Wish I could completely dissociate so I could not have to experience this. It's only been 10 days since I self harmed. Who cares. Maybe I shouldn't even keep track.

SlumberKitty · Feb 27, 2023 at 05:25 PM

I self harmed yesterday. I wrapped it up in gauze yesterday and haven't undone the gauze yet to see how bad they are. I will have to do that tonight I suppose. They kind of hurt but that's to be expected I suppose. I wonder what my therapist is going to say on Wednesday. This should be interesting. I'm stressed about it but I am trying not to be.
