The Reasons Not To, post really helped me process, before it got to be an issues.

I did, i am ashamed to say take a knife to my arm today, however, I stopped myself before it got worse.
I really am trying, I'm trying hard, but I feel very alone, I feel stuck in my head, and i'm just broken up, my usual 'go to's" for fun, just aren't anymore. I do them mundanely, because I know I have to. I just want this to be over. I never thought i'd be back here, feeling like this.

I really do love the support from everyone here. The shared understanding is what keeps me in check, especially as I know it will get better. It just takes time.

I have got a meeting with a new therapist tomorrow, which, I am nervous about. But i'm going to stick it out and see what can help. I think sometimes I am just afraid of my own shadow some days. What am I capable of? I'm sure you've been here too.

Thanks for listening/reading. I'm not looking for sympathy. Just a friend.

Hi @jai-jai - sorry to hear you are struggling with self harm impulses. Have you considered online group support and or professional help from someone that specializes in recovering from self harm?

Hope you get the support you are looking for.

Hi

thank you for the support - I've just started seeing a regular therapist, hopefully things will get better soon. I appreciate the link recommendations. This is something I have coped with for over 14 years. I have been primarily trying to make sense of my feelings really.

Thank you,
Joanna.
