i don't think I want to "take care" anymore. Why is that? Why do i want to hurt myself or worse???? Why do i want to do reckless things? Why do i want to "escape" into oblivion?
Why don't i want what is best for me? Am i just mentally ill? Is that why?

 A lot of people feel the same way that you do, including me. People like us have convinced ourselves that we are not worthy of love or care, and engage in self-destructive behaviors. I think we want to punish ourselves, or something. I think it does help to write it out/vent -- at least it helps me.I know it's a struggle, but you have to keep fighting.

Berries,
I know those thoughts. They crept into my life when I was a young girl. They don't plan to leave. I want them gone. They don't plan to leave. I want them gone. It's a struggle. It always has been. It very well may always be a struggle. I've tried many things to make them go away....drugs, alcohol, promiscuous behavior, cutting, bruising, self sabotage, recklessness, etc. They don't plan to leave no matter how much I want them gone. My methods never really worked, they just got more comfortable. Intensifying my methods made things more intense and more complicated. But they're still not planning to leave even though I desperately want them gone. The only things that have helped is putting trust into my pdoc/T (one in the same) with medication and therapy. I'm learning to contain and manage those feelings, look for the triggers that brought them to the forefront and stuff like that. It's not a perfect science, but I'm much better than I used to be! There's hope. If I can find it, I bet you can too. You're a lovely person and you deserve to be happy. Keep posting and keep trying. Persevere for you.

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