No SI for two weeks,afraid of relapase

Post by Candy » Tue Oct 03, 2006 6:39 pm

It has been 2 weeks since I have done any SI,and the feelings are getting strong again,and I am trying very hard to control this,it is not easy.I am proud of myself for not doing any SI,but right now the feelings are getting strong,and I am getting nerves and afraid of what could happen tonight. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestes how they get through the night when they feel like doing any SI. I feel like I am having a anxiety attack,and my emotions really start bothering me and then SI,happens.
I do not like the way I am feeling and when someon gets me upsets or tells me something that is when the anxiety level gets so high and I can not deal with the uncomfortable feelings that I am having and that is when the SI thoughts go through my mind. I am trying to get through each day and it has been going good,but today,the thougths are there and the anxiety level I can not relax. I know that i keep going on,but I need to post,cause I do not want any SI to happen,and I am trying very hard. I am just hanging in there.
I am in a dark place like a turtle afraid to deal with the pain that I do not want to feel,but eventually I will slowly face my pain,like the turtle when he comes out of his shell.

To find yourself,think of yourself first.
