Hey... don't be so quick...
2 months will go by quicker than you think. If you want someone to really talk to, PM me or something. Please?
Take care x
Look after yourself, young lady . I hope you are leaving this site for good reasons, and I hope you know my door is always open .
Chin up :thumb: .
Now then. I've been having one or two doubts this week about my therapy sessions. I had mine on Tuesday morning, and I left the room feeling distinctly uncomfortable. Today, my therapist was asking me questions about showing my emotions. She wasn't getting much of a reply out of me, so she tried a more direct approach. She went around the room, noting my reactions. (though she didn't tell me this at the time) One minute, she was leaning against the wall the other side of the room, the next she was sitting right next to me. I understand why she was doing this - it was to study my body language - but I felt very uncomfortable afterwards. And I'm not sure whether I should continue with the sessions. Any advice?
Therapy isnt meant to be easy. You may not understand what she was gaining from doing what she did , but im sure she knows what shes doing and if u think u should quit just because u didnt like it, u dont deserve anyone giving their time to u.
I am so incredibly angry at myself to the point that I just wanna scratch my face off. And I hate to be so violent but I mean it. I just wanna cut myself so bad... It's like... I want to do it... just so I can see myself in the mirror and laugh at myself for being so stupid...
I have to cut...
It doesn't sound stupid, and I know you mean it.
You're wrong, and you'll calm down afterwards and realise it.
Hope you're OK poppet.
That's why I don't get it... I mean, if self-harming helps me, then, is it really such a bad thing?
I mean, I've been doing this for years, and still I keep telling myself I shouldn't do it. But then, there's been a few times when I've thought: but it's good for you, it's making you feel better.
Meh!
A self-harmer isn't that far removed from a heroin addict, to be very honest.
Like any other addiction, self-harming is destructive behaviour. It works, but at a huge cost, physically and mentally. It is bad- it is bad for you, and it is bad for everyone around you.
Yeah. I do it when I get pissy. The only way to combat it is chucking things around but then I get yelled at. What else am I supposed to do
When its done I just feel stupid. Today I squirted cleansing cream over my desk. Go me
