I'm not doing too good tonight and Samaritans aren't helping. I don't know what to do.

Sorry to hear you had a tough night. Did you find anything that helped? How are you feeling this morning?
No, I ended up harming on my stomach which I've never done before and about three in the morning I took too many codeine tablets so that I could go to sleep.
I'm not sure. I'm not as bad as yesterday but I'm drowsy as I still have codeine in my system, and I took more this morning for my back. I'm a little iffy and I keep feeling agitated on and off.
I feel so worthless.
You're not worthless, honestly. I wouldn't ever lie to you. You have so much worth, words can't ever explain. I wish there was something I could say to pick you up and help you feel brighter.
I'm sorry you were so low the other day. Has anything in the past ever helped you to feel a bit better and stop you from harming? Codeine are so strong babe, please be careful. Defo seek medical attention if you need it. They may not have serious affects short term but long term, trust me, they're not good. Nothing is. You're special, take care of yourself. Could you contact a friend maybe? have you got any professional support in place? Sorry for the copious amounts of questions, I just care about you.
How are you feeling today? Sending big loves xxxxx
And rach, I can't say much but I didn't want to not acknowledge your lovely reply. I'm sending big loves back xxxx
You can. We both can. You are a beautiful, smart, caring girl. You've supported me through so much and I know I'm not the only one. Reminder what I've said to you before, you're going to make such a huge difference to people, more than you have already.
I believe in you and that won't ever change *hug*
For some reason loads of my pictures have fucked off from my phone. I had so many pictures of my nephew and they've all gone and I know I'm probably more upset about that than I should be but these were pictures that I can never get back. I tried to print them the other day but the machine at the shop broke so I couldn't and now I never can because I don't have them anymore.
It's a fucking sign, all of this is a sign.
Why bother.
I don't really know what to say but stay strong.
Here if you want to talk lovely
Hugs xxx

Have you any distraction techniques that help when you feel like this? Maybe some self soothing could help, favorite smell, teddy, favourite flower, something that brings you back to the present moment whether it be a book a certain touch sometimes when I'm out of reality I find spraying something that smells good can help bring me back to the present moment but it did take a while when I started to try self soothing.
Sending hugs your way sorry i can't really help much but here if you'd like to chat

How are you doing today? Did you have an okay weekend?
If it's something you can post about, do! We're here
You mentioned in your post a couple of days ago that you hadn't had a drink that day. Is that because you felt too sick to drink? Or do you think felt sick because you hadn't had a drink?
When our bodies don't get enough food or drink, they tend to stop working properly and can make us feel low and ill. Do you think this is what might be happening?
There's an info-packed article about eating healthily in the 'Your Body' section - could be useful
I feel kind of numb now but I feel angry, tired, keep crying. I want to sleep but I can't even sleep properly.
have you looked into alternative pain relief? I know a while ago you were having physio, but basic exercises can help to improve pain because it can prevent the spine from weakening etc etc. From my own experiences, stretching out the hamstring can also make a huge difference to back pain.
Hang in there *hug*
Ella, my physio suggested that but everything made my back worse and also made the back of my left leg swell which is why he discharged me.
Self harm is getting worse, it has never before been as bad as it is now. I hate it but I can't stop.
Is there anyone you can talk to about what's going on? I know you don't want to be a burden, but there are plenty of people and organisations out there that can (and want to) help, such as TESS:
Have you found anything that's helped you in the past with these urges? Some kind of distraction? Recover Your Life even have an idea to help manage self-harm urges called 'The Butterfly Project'! It literally sounds like it was made for you
They also have a massive list of distractions, which might be worth a look.
Of course we're always here too
