i usually do it because i deserve punishment for being such a pathetic excuse, but then hate myself all over again because im so ashamed afterwards!!
I have phases where ill do it alot for a few weeks then gor another few weeks without even having urges.
I dont think it helps to put pressure on yourself to not do it.
I did think it weird though. What would the hospital do?
Yeah I dont think she would have. But her saying it was enough for me to feel embarassed. What would you have done if she'd have dragged you to the hospital?
That's a strange thing for a psych to do really, but then again, a lot of people need scaring into reality.
I've never been threatened by anyone. Closest was when I didn't feel up to going to tharapy for a week, I got a letter telling me off for it.
Ive been told im not allowed to kill myself if i want my therapist to continue with me.
Figure that- i dont need therapy when im dead!
if you are thought to be a risk to yourself, you can be sectioned
It scares me, because I've attempted suicide a few times in life and I've only pulled out at the very last vital second.
Anyway, I've been feeling slightly better until a little while ago. My moods are up and down a fair bit today, but I'm managing to keep away from anything sharp.
I should be excited to be starting back. I just feel dejected about it. I should be happy that I'll be going to university in five months time. But again, I just feel dejected about it. It's almost as if I haven't got any motivation at the moment. I don't know what I'm doing.
There will come a day where the scars on your arms are a reminder of what you have overcome, of what you have beaten. Not that you are, or were, a freak or loon, or anything else.
People will think whatever they want, regardless of whether you have scars or not. I think the real trick in life is to not give a damn about what they think.
Chin up .
On a seperate note, this thread hasn't been terribly active lately. I don't know if the majority of people are feeling better able to cope with life, or whether they are so miserable that they daren't talk about it.
I hope it is the first.
Tears of a clown? I'm such a fucking cliché.........
i find myself keeping people at arms length,because then i won't get when they turn on me.
i think mostly its better to keep strangers at arms length and just keep a couple of close friends,but even close friends can piss you off ,so i only confide in family and my girlfriend.
some people on here can be brilliant though,just post your concerns in the correct forum if you want a propper answer.
I'm kinda trying to be more open and let people close but gahhhh, it's a fucking nightmare.
Cheers man. I wasn't really expecting any replies, I suppose I was just letting off steam.
