Hi Copasetic & Addy, I hear you both & relate. What you both experience sounds distressing. Addy, I'm glad that you feel some relief from finding people with similar experiences. All the best. Some further info ...... Someone told me recently that this stuff is a type of Obsessive Compulsive Disorde...

Hi Kathy, Thanks, you are very kind. I hope some things I have said have been of benefit to you & others. I still try to use the prayers when I can, but my sick mind keeps torturing me & fighting against me doing things to help myself :-? I've been finding out about these sorts of visions, which see...

Hi Kaelyn, sorry you have such scary images of SI. Kathy, your images sound really full-on, & they sound much longer than mine. Nearly all of my images are very brief, but they still scare me. Whatever, I relate a lot re not liking psychiatric diagnostic terms, labels, etc. I mainly use them to help...

Hi,

I saw the movie that I mentioned above, Look Both Ways. I thought it was excellent, & related VERY much to the "images" the woman gets in the movie. Besides that I thought it was a really good movie, about the difficulties of relationships, within families, etc. I recommend it.

For a little while I haven't been so affected by the sorts of "images" I used to get, but I've been getting quite a few over the last few weeks

IDK if anyone is still interested in this thread. If so, you might be interested in an Australian movie out ATM which includes this sort of thing, called "Look Both Ways." In it, the woman imagines bad things happening – I think that she gets "images" similar to the ones we've talked about. They are...

I'm very glad that I stumbled upon this thread while looking for something else. Great questions Limestone, & Stellaria, too. BTW, I chose my BUS name for the sorts of "reality" questions you're talking about :lol: I'm far too tired to think about or answer ATM, but I wanted to say something… later ...

Thanks Susa & Splitimage. I hope both of you & other people find it useful.

Hi Deja, We can use the dream/nightmare strategy with the images, also. I edited my previous post to try to make it clearer. It can be used with ANYTHING in dreams or nightmares, eg. people, monsters, animals, inanimate objects, ANYTHING you want to talk to. I think that it should work with the thin...

Deja, I am so sorry that you have such a painful cycle involving the drugs, images & bad feelings about yourself. As it sounds like you already realise, they seem to feed each other. It sounds as though your images portray how you felt you have been treated during your life. Red Velvet, you have som...

Hey, good topic Tara. I relate very much, having difficulty loving, letting in love, & trusting. People in other threads have told me that they love me (which I feel guilty not being able to feel/allow in), that I'm lovable (which I don't believe, although they tell me that the evidence is there), e...

Hi Depressedgrl666, Eyeris & Marronyeux, Sorry to hear that you experience similar things to what I do. *******SI/SU TRIG *SI/ SU* ... it seems like wherever I go, my mind automatically goes through every possible way to kill myself, should the need arise, in whatever room I'm in. Does this happen t...

Hi anyone who reads this thread, I came looking for it to see if anyone had posted. It's a bit of a slow moving thread :o :roll: :wink: I gave up on the OCD site I had visited, because the main thing was recommending Cognitive Behaviour Therapy & medication, both of which I hate. Although there was ...

Hi everyone, Hey, Nina, thank you sooooooooooooooooo much for finding that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder support site for me, & the info about OCD. I haven't read many articles on OCD as the few I saw favoured meds &/or CBT only, neither of which I'm interested in. I will look for other articles, si...

Hey Nina, I went to all the sites & read a bit. I've just been to the OCD Action Bulletin board (mentioned in your post above) & found the thread where you got the above book references & websites. Most of what they were talking about sounds exactly like what I get, so I'm going to join that site to...

The following is an edited copy of my PM reply to Nina after she PMd the above info to me. Hi Nina, Wow! Thank you soooooooooo much. I just read your post & haven't been to the link yet. I wanted to thank you first. I really related to a lot of the stuff in the quotes. It's amazing. I hadn't thought...

Hi All, Does anyone know of any research about the sorts of SI/SU visual imagery that we get - psychotherapeutic or whatever? Or, even better, any web sites, or internet or other support groups???? If we get such images, then I'm sure lots of other people in the world do too, so there must be stuff ...

The following is a copy of a post I made in a thread about strategies to stop SIing. I thought that other people might find these useful too. All the best. My ideas are not directly related to SI, but more about enjoying your life more, nourishing yourself, etc., so that you might not feel such a ne...

Hi, Welcome to BUS Ipop and CrawlingKane. I find it to be fantastic place, with lots of great people, who are very supportive & so on. I hope that you find it as good as I have. I have the same things..i'll be just sitting there not really thinking of anything and all of a sudden I'll see like the c...

If anyone is interested, I edited my post of Dec 07, to include in my hypothesising that spiritual vulnerability can cause/lead to the SI images also.
