The questions are not really working for me right now.
All of them seem to assume that I have a reason for the urges or a situation that is causing me problems. I don't, that I know of.
I had a pretty good day as far as work is concerned. Things went better than usual, and while I am tired, I don't have any complaints about it.
Yet now that I am home, I am having some pretty strong urges. I expect I can handle them because I know I don't have to SI. But...really would like to SI.
I know the urges are coming from somewhere. I know there is probably a reason for them. But I can't identify it right now.
Feeling...frustrated with myself. Feeling confused about why the urges come even when everything is supposed to be fine. Fairly depressed, although I don't know how bad it is...hard for me to judge depression.
I don't know. Not sure what to do to handle these urges. Nothing is wrong that I can fix. No obvious need to satisfy. I have been using delaying strategies but the urges are getting stronger instead of weaker.
Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Hi Nobody - I don't have any answers for you, except to say that you are definitely not alone. I have been dealing with the same thing lately. No real triggers; just an overwhelming need to SI. These urges are beginning to ease up some, finally! I think that I have been paying more attention to things like eating right, trying to get enough sleep and getting some exercise so maybe that has been helping.

I hope things get better for you soon.
