I had a really hard session with T today (I posted in Dissociative Disorders) and I want nothing more than to hurt myself SOOO badly. I am struggling with not doing anything, but the pull is getting really strong. I have tried breathing, relaxing, playing games, talking with my fiance and nothing seems to be working. I am at a loss.....

I am sorry that you are feeling this way. I hope that by now, you have figured out a way to make things better, and that way was healthy and you did not hurt yourself. I know that it is hard. I go through the same thing. Everyday is a struggle. It takes a lot to try to feel better that is the hardest part. PM me anytime, please! If you need someone to talk to, I will be there
 good luck to you |

I did hurt myself. Not as badly as I would have liked, but I really wanted to stop myself this time. I failed....maybe next time I will not do it. I just really need to figure out some other way of dealing with these feelings when they come up. *sigh*

my old T said something that was really simple that helped me when I stuffed up - he said "you can do better next time" - you did what you felt you had to to survive, and you sound like you stopped yourself so that is a victory!
 dont be hard on yourself - you can do better next time

That is true, I can do better next time. I did stop myself so that I wouldn't do more than I had already done, so that I am proud of! Thank you!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
