I just can't imagine someone that wants to marry me

Sometimes I do think about living in the wilderness,
with a bunch of pets (dogs, cats, a horse) :D
those thoughts make me happy...
..yes I'm a loner :tongue:

healthy coping skills? do you mean finding an alternative?
I can't seem to get them out of my head - all the coping things I've thought od only seem to distract for a while.. then the urge just kind of rebounds. :(

don't want to slip - before

Okay - so the situation (to quote from my place): ugh, I'm really wanting to cut right now. haven't done 'nything yet though. today is 9 weeks since the last time I SIed... Someone (lets call her C) asked me about this girl I know, J, what was wrong with her. I was like; why do you think something i...

Re: before

It will bring something exterior to focus on, an outside hurt for a while instead of so much pain inside. can you think of other exterior things you could focus on? (like exercising, taking a cold shower, etc) or focussing in a different way? something that works for you. Its good that you've talke...

Yeah, I recognize the problem. Some of my friends know about my si and at some point all I could do was talk about it to them. To go over everything that happened, and how I would cut, stuff like that. Then I felt like I couldn't do that to my friends over and over again, I wouldn't want them to wor...

I can't cry in front of others too. Not even my friends. Maybe because I feel that I would be vulnerable when I would cry in front of others. I'm really uncomfortable with showing weaknesses irl. I'd rather not show them at all. My T gets annoyed by it, because every time I feel like I'm going to cr...

Hope

A few days ago, I got a letter from a good friend. She wanted to give me some hope, and had written this for me (below). Thought I'd share it with you, so others may get something out of this too. So this is for everyone that is not feeling well. take care :star: Anne. Don’t spend too much time con...

I can relate to that as well... sometimes I feel like my cuts are not good enough. That they are not bad enough to get any therapy (that I am not deserving therapy unless it is bad enough to land me in the ER)

First of all, don't panic. Relapses do happen, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you are back to zero, or that your SI will start to increase all over again. Like you said, you have people to pull you through now, you have become stronger. So now you can learn from relapses and grow even stron...

Re: after input requested

I was actually feeling very angry. Were you angry with yourself? and why were you angry - because of your husband speaking that way? Or because of the way you felt? In retrospect, are there coping methods that you now realize might have helped? What were they? I haven’t found one for when I’m so an...

Its good that you understand what caused your anger, so you can look for a way to maybe balance your 'mean part' and your 'nurturing part'. Like your T said - a compromise. name at least two things you will do to help yourself remember those coping methods if you end up in this situation again. I do...

I think that situation would be very difficult because it brings up so many strong emotions...is that what made it so hard for you? Or was it something different that made his comments so triggering? It was especially triggering because of the way he came with the comments. Somehow he brought up st...
