feel like giving up

Post by Heidi4DBT » Fri Apr 03, 2009 7:05 pm

I am struggling with thoughts of hurting myself. I have been under a lot of stress because of feeling depressed and anxious. I am telling myself that I have made it this far and I should keep going and not give up but I am not going to. I can do the opposite emotion by self soothing and taking care of myself. Does anybody else feel like giving up?

I frequently feel like giving up. Not bothering to even resist the urges, and just doing SI whenever I want. Sometimes I hold on and resist.

Sometimes I give into the urges. The next day, or a few days later, I inevitably want to get back to resisting. So the urge to give up won't last.
