One thing I wanted to point out to you (which I am sure you already know) is that therapy isn't just for people in crisis...it is for anybody who feels they need to talk to someone about something going on in their lives . I guess I knew that sort of but just about everyone I've known who has gone ...

You know one thing that hurting myself would solve is my fear that I will come off as together to this therapist just like I do to other people I meet. This is my chance to finally get some professional help but what if he thinks I'm handling things well? Not to sound full of myself but I come off a...

why not wait? think things through again tomorrow...

I will, because I'm sure you are being more logical than I am right now.

Homework was a breeze thanks to my soon to be patented "bribe with candy methood". Soon all schools will be using it! Works like a dream! Dentists will be driving gold plated Catilacs. You know what makes me sad, and I don't think I am getting off topic because this is partly how I got to this place...

how will this situation or feeling change if i hurt myself? It'll be easier to justify therapy. oh holy crap I was making a dumb joke but it would, wouldn't it? If I could go in looking like I did a year ago I wouldn't wonder if I should really be there. what will hurting myself bring to the situat...

Why do I feel I need to hurt myself? What has brought me to this point? I'm feeling guilty and overwhelmed because I called to get help today and have set up an appointment with a therapist (in a couple of weeks) though, to be fair I've been wanting to do this for a while now I just have a differen...

I DONT THINK THERE COULD OF BEEN A DIFFERENT DECISION.

Do you mean because it was an accidental injury that triggered you? Otherwise wouldn't the other decision be one of the things you listed (such as going out on the dance floor or putting out your cigarette)?

Have you ever tried the thing where you hold onto an ice cube? That gives the pain sensation (thus feeling something if that is what you are craving) without doing damage to you. I find it sometimes helps when I am just feeling numb.

I hope you are able to keep from hurting yourself today and get some help from your T tomorow. Perhaps you could try going through the other set of questions? Sometimes I find that if one set doesn't do much for me the other is more helpful.

i find it easier sometimes not to give in if i decide that i can do it if i really want to; that way i can focus more on whether i really want to, and on trying other things first, and less on the internal debate about whether it's allowed, which often makes me want to hurt myself just to end the d...

still before Why do I feel I need to hurt myself? What has brought me to this point? There aren't a lot of times when I don't want to hurt myself, I just usually want it less, sometimes I can go for a while without thinking about it. So it's more of a shift of importance. I really want to very stron...

how will this situation or feeling change if i hurt myself? I can stop obsessing over doing it if I've already done it. I may feel calmer and more focused or I may feel guilty. what will hurting myself bring to the situation? what will it take away from the situation? I don't know that it will brin...

I'm very sorry about your mom, my mom died when I was six so I know what kind of a void that leaves in your life. As far as feeling bad for asking for a hug well that's hard to get past but the consiquences of asking for a hug are a lot less than the consiquences of having sex before you are ready. ...

Honey you don't sound at all like a whore. Wanting to be held is a natural thing, wanting sex is a natural thing (if we didn't have that humans would have died out ages ago.) But it doesn't sound like sex would be the right thing for you right now- from what you said what you really want is to just ...

I think I've nailed down the why a bit better. I want to cut because I'm lonely, I'm lonely because I hardly ever have any contact with anyone any more. My husband spends 90% of the time he's home with his headphones on playing computer games. We probably won't get together with my inlaws again unti...

1) You said you could: "Force all of my friends and relatives to move to the state I live in. Cure my children's nuero issues and my husband's depression, adopt new parents. " Obviously these are all a little far fetched. What are some acceptable alternatives? You can't force your loved ones to mov...

Why do I feel I need to hurt myself? What has brought me to this point? I'm depressed and I've been obsessing about cutting I just really really want to cut. What has brought me to this point? A combo of postholiday let down, loneliness and anxiety. Have I been here before? What did I do to deal wi...

how will this situation or feeling change if i hurt myself? Maybe I'll be able to pull myself together and put on a happy face for everyone again. what will hurting myself bring to the situation? what will it take away from the situation? I'll feel better, but I'll feel less in control. how do i wa...

If you want to SI as some way of attoning why not an act of contrition instead of retribution? Perhaps you could do something to help someone or for charity or something?

do you talk to your husband about how you feel - about your worries, your fear, your frustration etc? do you share any of this? We do talk about it but he seems at least as depressed by all of this as I am and I don't want to burden him more. If he knew I wanted to cut or that I was feeling really ...
